León is a city steeped in tradition, innovation, and culture. This 4-hour tour takes you through the city's most iconic sites, offering a deep dive into its rich history and dynamic present.

León is globally recognised as the “World Capital of Footwear and Leather,” and its centuries-old industrial and artisanal traditions are still alive today. As you explore the city, you'll understand why León is not only a hub for leather goods but also a premier shopping destination, with vast commercial areas dedicated to this craft. The city is also famous for hosting major events, including the León International Balloon Festival, the Guanajuato Rally Championship, the León State Fair, and Sapica, the international footwear fair.

To add a local flavour to your experience, the tour includes a tasting of León’s traditional delicacies. Enjoy a “guacamaya,” a local sandwich filled with chicharrón, and refresh yourself with a “cebadina,” a traditional drink made from fermented barley.
