    I read some reviews and want to clarify some things: tour times are on the internet. Ticket prices are clear, though they should sell a student ticket with photo privileges. The police officer guard was strict, but he is protecting the site, which is more important than your feelings. It is not supposed to be scary, it's a historical tour. The guide I had was excellent and knowledgeable. You could tell that he was sincere and cares for the property. He didn't speak English during the tour, but I did notice that I was in Mexico, so that didn't bother me. Overall a very interesting tour I will do again, as soon as that big tree releases me.

    This is a beautiful place worth visiting . The tour is in Spanish (maybe there is someone to give. In English if there will be a group of people ) .You walk one Circle and can’t go back or wander around , so you have to capture everything in the moment . Entrance- 32 pesos and 81 if you Wannasee photos .

    My visit was great. I learned that a notable American is buried along perhaps some free masons and some other foreign personages. Our guide let us know that that the buildings design incorporates mason's rules and traditions. For example the columns represent the marks on a mason's square. I especially liked the echo display at the corner of the building. Take one step forward and you hear the echo, take one step back and you don't. Very interesting and full of information. I cannot remember half of the hour and so tour. They have night tours as well where they dwell in more detail on the myths and stories about the people buried there. Too bad I did not have enough time for the night run. The only drawback is the museum is only slowly getting maintained. I only wish it would be in better repair. Good visit thought with a lot of interesting points. Don't forget to buy your tickets at the little window to the right of the main gate. They charge extra for the use of the camera inside. No flash is allowed to preserve the building and no touching of surfaces or wondering around. They stated they had to do that because some visitors painted graffiti while other broke things. Despite the restrictions the guide was great and you can wonder a little as long as you are near your main group. Ticket prices are very reasonable. My tour was all in Spanish.

    I would make this a stop in your adventures in Guadalajara. Short uber ride from the central plaza. Its not expensive, however please pay the extra fee that they charge to take pictures. It's worth every penny. The tour guide will ask and will be monitoring who is taking pictures. Learn about the legends of the city, the history, and the significance. The Vampire, Nachito and the architect that built the cemetery. Each one has a great story. The tour guide was knowledgeable and approachable. We took the last tour of the day which is at 3pm. Get there on time. Enjoy

    (Translated by Google) I loved this visit, definitely check this place has a lot of history and tradition, and to say the legends, I recommend buying the book and movie that sells a gentleman at the door, it is worth continuing the tour with Adrian guide, knows lot and learn about various topics, is a must if you're in town, the price of access to the museum is symbolic and helps keep the place $ 31 for over twelve years, and $ 15 for children, if you are a student or teacher charge you as boy presenting your credentials (Original) Me encantó esta visita, sin duda este lugar tiene mucha historia y tradición, y que decir de las leyendas, te recomiendo comprar el libro y la película que vende un señor en la puerta, vale la pena seguir el recorrido con el guía Adrián, sabe mucho y aprendes de vários temas, es una visita obligada si estás en la ciudad, el precio de acceso al museo es simbólico y ayuda a mantener el lugar $31 para mayores de doce años y $15 para niños, si eres estudiante o maestro te cobran como niño presentando tu credencial

    The tour guide doesn't speak English and nobody can explain how much I have to pay for ticket. Thanks to another tourists, who translated information from staff. Also guide was rude and unpleasant to communication. We just wanted to see this place but we was awared that we would be kiked out for photos without special ticket... Place is not so good cleaned. :/

    Enjoyed listening to the history of the cemetery while on my night tour. You are not allowed to use your cell phone flash light because according to the guide it negatively affects the paint and structure of the building. You can use a regular handheld flashlight if you wish. The night time tours are busy and I presume that most people visit during that time because it's morbid and spooky. If you are more of a history and/or architecture buff then you are better off visiting during the day so you can truly appreciate your surroundings.

    (Translated by Google) Yesterday I visited the pantheon, but it is closed due to the contingency 😔 they told me to visit the official page before going to see if it will open, but from the entrance I could see a little in the distance and the pantheon is very beautiful; Those who carry a car look for a parking lot nearby because the streets are small, and if they charge the entrance, the price is $ 35 if you enter without any mobile device or camera, if you enter with phones, cameras, tablets, etc. They charge you $ 78 and children over 5 years pay I think $ 30 or $ 60. (Original) Ayer visite el panteón, pero esta cerrado por la contingencia 😔 me dijeron que visiten la pagina oficial antes de ir para saber si esté abrirá, pero desde la entrada pude ver a lo lejos un poco y esta muy hermoso el panteón; los que llevan carro busquen un estacionamiento cerca por que las calles son pequeñas, y pues si cobran la entrada, el precio es de $35 si entras sin ningún dispositivo movil o cámara, si entras con teléfonos, camaras, tablets, etc. Te cobtan $78 y niños mayores de 5 años pagan creo que $30 o $60.

  • 4/5 Sthephanie G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The place is very cool and beautiful, nothing more than, they tell you nothing more than 3 stories, and many stories to tell so that they only tell you 3, they give preference to those of the night tour, because, because at night they tell more stories than at morning. From my point of view they should tell the same number of stories both day and night, and not just tell 3, I mean that you cannot learn all the stories but tell the majority not ½. (Original) Esta muy padre y hermoso el lugar, nada mas que, te cuentan nada mas como 3 historias, ay muchas historias que contar como para que nada mas te cuenten 3, le dan preferencia a los del recorrido de la noche, porque, porque a los de la noche les cuentan mas historias que a los de la mañana. Desde mi punto de vista deberían de contar la misma cantidad de historias tanto en el día como en la noche, y no nada mas contar 3, osea se que no se pueden aprender todas las historias pero cuenten la mayoría no ½.

    (Translated by Google) I thought that on the tour they were going to give interesting historical data, and it was only pure superstitious and tendentious stories, they went for the fantasy and they weren't even good stories, the tour was somewhat flat, improvised. The tour I gave was at night and I didn't even feel afraid, the stories are funny, I hope they could fix that and present a more worthy tour since they charge to give it. (Original) Pense que en el tour iban a dar datos historicos interesantes, y fue solamente puros cuentos superticiosos y tendenciosos, se fueron por la fantasia y ni siquiera eran buenos cuentos, esta algo chafa el recorrido, improvisado. el tour que di fue de noche y ni asi senti miedo, las historias dan risa, ojala pudieran arreglar eso y presentar un recorrido mas digno ya que cobran por darlo.

    The tour is awesome, I took it a couple of times before the pandemic. Today I went because the web page says it is open until 11:30pm, but they close it at 10 pm because of the pandemic.

    Offerings are eaten/stolen?? (brought american m&m's in the night tour and came in morning to take pictures (couldnt take pics at night) and they were missing??? Although mexican candy was still there??) It is a good tour for the most part. Tour guides provide information/stories that are interesting. Only about half of the tour is wheelchair accessible. If you wanna see the story of the maiden's shadow/ enter the mauselum you have to go with you own assistance/companion. Mauselum steps are slippery if you are of old age/have a disability.

    (Translated by Google) Being the first pantheon of the city where its mausoleums and tombstones with perpetual maintenance give the history of the first families and original rotunda, this museum offers a day tour giving ovation to exhibitions in it before the pandemic there was a night tour where they were given quote for the urban legends of the city. In this space in the Belén garden there is also the forensic medical service and the Guadalajara school of medicine school hospital. Returning to the pantheon of Belén, check availability of hours (Original) Siendo el primer panteón de la ciudad donde sus mausoleos y lápidas con mantenimiento a perpetuidad da historia de las primeras familia y rotonda original este museo ofrece recorrido durante el día dando ovación a exibiciones en el mismo antes de la pandemia había un recorrido nocturno donde se daban cita para las leyendas urbanas de la ciudad . En este espacio en el jardín de Belén también está el servicio médico forense y la escuela de medicina de Guadalajara escuela hospital. Volviendo al panteón de Belén checar disponibilidad de horario

    (Translated by Google) The Pantheon of Bethlehem is an icon of the pearl of the West and is an emblematic place for its mysticism and legends that surround it and the only bad thing is that they do not adequately maintain the place and it is depressing to see how the authorities charge for the tours and do nothing around the premises since there are many destroyed tombs and the only clean thing are the bathrooms but in conclusion the pantheon is very bad and looks very neglected but even so it is still interesting to visit it especially for its night tours that are highly recommended and interesting (Original) El panteon de belen es todo un icono de la perla de occidente y es un lugar emblematico por su misticismo y leyendas que lo rodean y lo unico malo es que no le dan el mantenimiento adecuado al lugar y es deprimente ver como las autoridades cobran por los recorridos y no hacen nada por el recinto ya que hay muchas tumbas destrozadas y lo unico limpio son los baños pero en conclusion esta muy mal el panteon y luce muy descuidado pero aun asi sigue siendo interesante visitarlo sobre todo por sus recorridos nocturnos que son muy recomendables e interesantes

I would not recommend going on such busy dates as halloween or day of the dead, etc., because there is too much line. The tour is fun, thanks to your guides 👌🏻😊 (Original) Visité este lugar el halloween pasado. La verdad si cubrió mis espectativas, más no me sorprendió.

    My family and I had a wonderful day at Museo Panteón de Belén. It's a free attraction but you'll want to allocate 5 hours of your time to visit! We went on the guided tour, which was great because it helped us understand the significance of many of the people buried there. I would highly recommend this place if you're in town with kids
