Guanajuato callejoneadas — Attraction in Guanajuato

These tours have the potential to be great, as is already attested in other reviews. The group dynamic is lively, the sites are beautiful, the music is good, it's romantic, etc. The only problem is the crowd size. Make sure your tor group doesn't exceed 40 people (MAXIMUM). My group had 200+ people and it was impossible to hear what the tour guides said. In fact, most of the time I was pushed to the back of the swarming mass of tourists, not even able to see the musicians. The route made things even worse: being shoved through the tiny alleyways made one feel like a cow being led into a slaughter yard. Lastly, I was promised a delightful blue ceramic frog with a miner's helmet for attending; I was instead given a generic green one. I highly recommend the people in charge of this limit the number of people who go...

OMG so much fun!!!

🤩 I happen to come across a group of street performers/musicians who clearly were bringing the party to Guanajuato & and I followed them to see what was going on!!

Impressed as an understatement !! These guys are so talented and they bring their a game to entertain audiences through street walking tours and musical delights singing, and holding an interactive captivating audience that partake in the entertain them themselves..

It’s an incredible performing activity that I’ve never seen anywhere else and it’s all over the city so if you walk at night, you’ll see groups and groups of people. I can’t wait to book mine and participate!!

What an incredibly group of talented gentlemen who clearly know what they’re doing and love doing it !!

And I didn’t understand Spanish, but I still...

This is a very popular activity that is performed by numerous groups of musicians dressed in renaissance garb. As fun as this tour may be for Spanish speakers it is one that is not meant for non-Spanish speakers. Moreover, if your mastery of Spanish is not at the fluent level and if you did not grow up in Mexico soaking up Mexican culture your entire life, you will not enjoy it as much as Mexicans do. The tours are pretty much a sing-along to old Mexican folk songs, while the band leads you through alleys of Old Guanajuato telling tales, cracking jokes and mostly singing. You may stop at a stall or two where Mezcal or tequila drinks are sold and you may take them with you in one-use clay cups. In the end it is a immersive cultural experience but one that will go over your head if you don't speak...
