Surprisingly thought-provoking - Tleni had a definitively youthful perspective on history — one from middle class Mexico. If I had written this on the day we took the tour, I might not have been as generous. 3 days later, I’ve had time to process, see some art, walk through the streets, experience some national holidays, etc. I can begin to see how my own cultural values might have caused me to have a somewhat myopic interpretation of events. Good on Tleni for daring to offer the government line and an alternative perspective. So glad we visited the Museo Hospicio Cabañas the next day! With context came understanding! Great tour, Tleni!

Guadalajara in 2 1/2 hours - We (4 of us) learned a Coles Notes of Guadalajara history and helpful explanations of life in the State of Jalisco and the City of Guadalajara. A tidbit of information about the Cathedral helped put all the show and glory of the interior in perspective and the explanation of a 5-piece grouping of statues encapsulated the history of Guadalajara up to the present day. Thoroughly enjoyable young woman.
