Private Tour to Guadalupe Shrine

About this experience

One of the most important Catholic pilgrimage sites in the world, the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe is among the 20 most visited destinations globally, welcoming over 20 million pilgrims each year. More than a religious sanctuary, it is a profound symbol of Mexican identity and devotion, deeply rooted in the cultural and spiritual life of Mexico and Latin America.

You will visit both the New Basilica, home to the revered tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and the Old Basilica, an architectural and historical treasure. The journey continues with a walk up Tepeyac Hill, the site where the miraculous apparitions are believed to have occurred, including the appearance of fresh roses that changed the course of history. Next, explore the Basilica Museum, housed in the former Capuchin convent.

Here, you will admire an exceptional collection of Novo-Hispanic (Colonial-era) art, religious artifacts, and cultural treasures that provide deeper context to the devotion surrounding the Virgin of Guadalupe. The tour concludes with free time for personal exploration, quiet reflection, or the opportunity to attend Mass, allowing you to experience the Basilica at your own pace and in your own way.
