Gonzalez-Alvarez House

"The place might be nice to visit but I resent the fact you have to walk through a tourist trinket shop before getting to the actual tour... and to top it off, there is NO sign on the outside telling you the tour cost $12.50 a head until you have to wade through the trinkets trap. It is as if they are then trying to shame you into paying up. I don't like those sorts of gimmicks and traps. Stay away until they put up signage outside showing the cost."

"The complex includes a beautiful courtyard and different exhibits in multiple buildings. Very enjoyable tour led by knowledgeable and friendly guides. It amazes me how sometimes you pay so little for such enriching, entertaining experiences."

"A complex of several buildings, each with a unique story. The Tovar House contains what is essentially a local museum. The Gonzalez house is set out in very early form and furniture. There is a building with a focus on maps, and another with a surfing museum! An attractive place and exhibits attractively displayed. Small shop at ticket office. Rest rooms."

"We LOVED this place! There is a no touch policy on the displays (totally understandable) so kids have to be watched closely, but TOTALLY worth it. This place is beautiful and it's so interesting. My 4 year old stayed enthralled through about 95% of it and that's rare for him. My 8 year old loved all of it and wanted to move in. It's beautiful and wasn't crowded when everything else was. The tour guide was very informative and was very nice! We'll be back and definitely recommend! ALSO, super cheap admission!!!"

"Interesting tour, great tour guides. You will learn about the construction of the home, the residents and the town. Plan about 30 to 45 minutes for this stop. Adult price is $10. Restroom facilities are clean. Next time your in town check this place out."
