Hello! I am Noemí Castillo, founder of Nopal Loco Tours. With a Degree in Tourism Business Planning from the Universidad de Guadalajara, I have spent years studying, preserving, and sharing the rich cultural and gastronomic heritage of Western Mexico.
When you book a tour with Nopal Loco Tours, you are not getting a generic script. You are walking through Guadalajara with a local expert who knows the hidden architectural details of Colonia Americana, the best-kept market secrets, and the authentic flavors of Jalisco.
Cooking and storytelling run in my family—I learned traditional Mexican recipes from my grandmother starting at eight years old, a passion that led me to publish historical cookbooks documenting traditional regional Mexican cuisine.
