Absolutamente imperdible

Arturo tiene pasion con lo que hace y es una persona realmente culta y habladora. Nos tuvo todo el tiempo atentos a todas las historias que iba contando enlazadas unas con otras, y estuvo mas tiempo del estipulado. Gran persona y gran guia. Muy recomendable!

An amzing visit to secret treasure in Mexico City

I didn't have great expectations, mainly because only little is written in guide books and in blogs about the Basilica. The reality: this is an amazing, important, moving site that is so important for understanding Mexico's history and that of the CDMX.! I am so happy that I made this tour with Arturo. Arturo is an excellent guide, knowledgeable, patient and passionate about the Basilica, its history and its meaning to Mexico and to its indigenous people. The fact that I'm a non-christian did not detract anything from the experience. Thank you so much Arturo for allowing me the privilege to be guided by you.

Very Exceptional Experiences through History

The Basilica of Guadalupe was the most important thing on this trip to Mexico city from South Korea in early Mar, 2024. Because I am a catholic and the Basilica is one of the meaningful places for catholic. My tour experience with Arthur and Juliana was very exceptional. Arthur was an expert of Mexican Catholic history and cultural heritage. And he was such a good storyteller, so I still remember many interesting things related to this basilica. Moreover, he was a singer as a member of mass choir and a lot of experiences with this Basilica, so I could imagine and experience more than I saw at this time and season. And these every things were connected to the miraculous apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe which was a highlight of this tour. I thought I could be fully inspired when I saw the sacred with the stories though this tour with Arthur rather than I toured by myself. I definitely, wholeheartedly recommend this tour for those who will visit the Basilica of Guadalupe to understand and to be fully inspired by this sacred miraculous event.
