    Our Lady of Guadalupe.

    Beautiful, amazing, and holy. Before you go, it is recommended to read about St. Juan Diego’s tilma, and the apparitions and message of our Lady of Guadalupe.

    Private tour of our Lady of Guadalupe

    Alicia, our tour guide along with Christian the driver took a very good care of us on our private tour of our lady of Guadalupe. She explained the history and story of our Lady of Guadalupe in a very animated and relatable manner. We enjoyed our private tour very much as we could go at our own pace as I was traveling with my elderly mother and aunt. I would highly recommend Alicia and the private tour to our Lady of Guadalupe. They picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel.

    Response from the operator: Dear Stephanie, Thank you for sharing your experience. We're pleased to know you enjoyed your visit to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe and that the private tour allowed you and your family to explore at a comfortable pace. It's wonderful to hear that our team helped make your visit both enjoyable and meaningful. Thank you for your recommendation. Kind regards, Amigo Tours Quality Team

    Lovely and peaceful

    Very beautiful grounds, don’t miss the back part of the complex. There was live music, it was wonderful to hear the bells ringing, and the gift shop was lovely. There is a huge market right next-door to the Basilica complex. It’s a beautiful place to walk around and also if you just want some quiet, peaceful reflection, outside the hustle and bustle of Mexico City, this is a perfect place to spend an afternoon.

    Avoid this company

    Canceled less than 24 hours before trip. Apparently they sent an email 24 hours before my visit that I wasn't able to respond to because I was on a plane so they said I forfeited it and REFUSED TO REFUND. They gave no indication that I would need to expect said email and that I must respond within 2 hours or I would be forfeiting

    Response from the operator: Dear kathleenhI4933CS, Thank you for letting us know about your experience with us; unfortunately, our cancellation policies are posted at the time of booking. In this case, if you do not cancel within 24 hours, your money cannot be refunded. We regret any inconvenience this may cause. Kind regards from AMIGO TOURS. -Judy.

    Guadalupe Shrine Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.

    How much does Guadalupe Shrine Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $57 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mexico City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Guadalupe Shrine Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mexico City is not rushed.

    Is Guadalupe Shrine Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 81 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Guadalupe Shrine Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Guadalupe Shrine Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Guadalupe Shrine Tour?

    +

    Around 28 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mexico City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mexico City and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Guadalupe Shrine Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mexico City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Mexico City?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Mexico City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Teotihuacan 3 Pyramids Tour + Hotel Pick Up + Lunch at La Gruta, Historic Center Essentials: Mexico City Downtown Walking Tour, PREMIUM Frida Kahlo Museum and Xochimilco (Small Groups). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Mexico City?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Mexico City?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Guadalupe Shrine Tour?

    +

    Included: Round-trip transportation (hotel Pick up if private option selected); and Professional guide. Not included: Gratuities; and Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Guadalupe Shrine Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 145 listed pickup locations in and around Mexico City. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Guadalupe Shrine Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    +

    +
