Things to do in Guadalajara, Guadalajara Metropolitan Area: The Best Multi-day Tours

December 28, 2021 Nobuko Falco

The inland city of Guadalajara is bursting with history and culture. Many attractions are in the city's historic center and in the neighboring city of Zapopan. Museums, parks and churches flourish alongside bullfights, rodeos and soccer (futbol). Nearby are the towns of Tequila, where the liquor of the same name is produced, and Tlaquepaque and Tonala, where artisans create an abundance of Mexican handicrafts. Mariachi, which originated in the area, is a common sight and sound in Guadalajara.

I did the private tour to Grutas Tolontongo with my partner and I highly recommend it. We were picked up on time by our tour guide and the entire day felt so looked after. It was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend to anyone thinking of visiting Grutas Tolontongo,.
