Discover Queretaro Tour

Our Discover Querétaro tour goes beyond the obvious! Tour with us the most relevant parts of the Historic Center and let the city reveal itself before your eyes. The Discover Querétaro tour not only explains curiosities about the attractions we will visit. Rather, it helps participants better understand why Querétaro is the way it is. Throughout the tour our guides will explain how the water, the location and the first settlers powerfully determined the city. The tour is a guided group experience, walking and by car. Each participant will be given a receiver with a headset so that they can clearly hear the guide's comments; Likewise, each attendee will have a timeline that will help them locate themselves in the different historical periods that we will discuss. We will begin at Hotel Criol, where visitors will attend an introduction of approximately 30 minutes, which will take place in the hotel library.
