S & S Guanajuato City tours

If Mexico’s colonial cities were a crown, Guanajuato would without doubt be it’s prime jewel. UNESCO has named the town as a World Heritage Site.. The great French architecture of this gorgeous city was built with the wealth generated from the silver mines that enjoyed their heyday during the 17th and 18th centuries. Present day Guanajuato is 100% Spanish Colonial in look, style, feel and atmosphere. Cobbled streets, churches, asymmetrical buildings, an amazing tapestry of color, vibrancy and sheer historical splendor await all who travel to this stunning colonial gem.
