Fall in love with the charm of Guanajuato as you wander through cobblestone streets on this guided tour. You'll visit the famous Mummy Museum, see an old mine, and taste typical sweets of this World Heritage City.

Guanajuato Tour + Mummy Museum

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Guanajuato. We will begin our tour at the Museum of the Mummies, where we will check out more than 100 mummies and discuss their historical significance.

Afterward, we will stroll through narrow colonial streets to La Valenciana mine, descending through its corridors to see miners' tools and extracted minerals. Guanajuato was one of the most productive silver mines in the world in the 18th century, and we will provide details during the tour.

Back on the surface, we will see the Cervantina roundabout and the Plaza de las Ranas, heading to the church of San Cayetano to admire its Churrigueresque art and gold-laminated altarpieces.

Next, we will visit the Museo de Galeras de la Santa Inquisición to learn about the darker periods of the city’s history and view ancient torture instruments.

We will sample typical sweets before exploring the tunnels and underground streets of Guanajuato. Our final stop will be the Pípila monument for a panoramic view of Guanajuato and insights into this key figure in Mexican independence.

After 4 to 5 hours of sightseeing, the tour will conclude in the city center.

Changes to the Itinerary
