Overview
This isn’t just a tour — it’s a private journey into the heart of one of Jalisco’s most historic mountain towns. We focus on creating a deeper, more meaningful connection with San Sebastián del Oeste, allowing you to step back in time and experience the culture, architecture, and traditions that shaped this region in the 18th century. As a fully private experience, it’s just you, your group, and our certified local guide, offering the freedom to explore at your own pace without the pressure of a group schedule. You’ll walk cobblestone streets, visit historic landmarks, and discover hidden gems most visitors miss — all while learning the stories behind them from someone who truly knows the area. Along the way, you’ll enjoy authentic flavors, stop for a traditional meal, and even have time to capture the beauty of the surrounding Sierra Madre mountains.

Your guide will meet you near the bottom of your ship’s exit ramp holding an Obi Tours® sign.

Please contact us in advance with your equipment’s dimensions, weight, and any assistance needs so we can confirm suitable arrangements. Traveling with Children: Infants and young children must travel in an appropriate child safety seat and may not ride on an adult’s lap. You’re welcome to bring your own seat.
