Introduction, a GTO video series, and a question

[DonaldW]

On second thought, I do remember a couple of people by the green tourist booth in the Plaza Union who are barking as tour guides. I cannot attest to their skill level or services provided.

(Sorry but after so long of "selective hearing" it becomes easy to not even see the things that don't typically concern you.)

Personally I would nab a Lonely Planet or a history book in Spanish, grab a map at the (I) information booth and hit the pavement. Often self guided tours are the best. Some people are into the mines (will take someone who knows someone to get a really good tour down into it), some into the mummies, some into the Pipila, some the calajones, you know - different strokes for different ..... . There are many standard attractions. A warning that the funicular has recently crashed, so you'll not have that an option until it is repaired. Another thing is that GTO is not known for excellent restaurants. Lots of potato filled enchiladas (called "Miners enchiladas" - but personally - give me meat!!!) and it's hard to find a combo of good-food/inexpensive combo in the sidewalk cafe department, well outside of Delica Mitsu Japanese perhaps. There are other good ones, but I'm running out of space and time. Enjoy your trip!
