Guadalajara is well served by Uber and other ride sharing services. The vast majority of drivers are professional, courteous and operate vehicles that are clean and safe. The rates are on a par with or cheaper than taxis most of the time, but rates can spike at times of peak demand. Many ride share drivers in Guadalajara have spent time living and working in the United States and speak enough English to communicate. But not all. If you don’t want to provide your credit card information out of fear of fraud, you might consider switching your account to pay in cash while in the country. If you’re staying in Guadalajara city center don’t there is no reason not to use an Uber to come for our Tlaquepaque Walking Tour.
There are two types of public taxis who can bring you from Guadalajara to Tlaquepaque for our walking tour. Generally speaking the larger bright yellow and clearly marked ones are better maintained and operated by full time professional drivers. It is best to negotiate the rate before getting in, and making it clear exactly where you want to be dropped off. Unlike Uber and other ride share drivers, operators of public taxis do not always use GPS to find their destination, which means clear communication is important. Once you book our walking tour of tlaquepaqe we’ll provide the exact details about the drop off point you need to give to your driver.
The Guadalajara metro is referred to in Spanish as the Tren Ligero or, Light Rail.
