Beautiful town - Barbara and Ernesto were my tour guide and driver respectively, and they were both great. About two hours into the drive you stop for 20 minutes for breakfast & restrooms. On the way back there's a quick restroom stop but you have to pay to use the restroom. For my fellow ADA people: It's about a 1 mile walk from the beginning of the walking tour to the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcangel church, and it took about 1 hour to walk because there was standing involved. There are lots of steep stairs (going down), and lots of steep declines on uneven cobbled streets. This part of the city is very hilly. Then there's a short .29 mile walk to a bus that you have to pay to ride, and the bus drops you off at the van. Overall I enjoyed the experience but it is a very long day, especially with traffic, which there will be, so keep that in mind.

Wonderful - I've done this tour many times now. Why ? Because it's a gorgeous city to visit . Great restaurant . Amazing architecture. Wonderful views and I love the .market here . I always love shopping here . The guides are excellent. Not that I stay around much as I've learned everything I needed to know from them already. But for first timers they are a great source of information

A wonderful day in San Miguel de Allende - We had a wonderful experience with our guide Ruben and driver Javier. Ruben was so knowledge about San Miguel de Allende and answered every question we asked. His in depth knowledge of the history of Mexico is SUPER impressive. Javier drove us through México City like a pro. We enjoyed our entire day.

Nice experience. - The place is very nice. The guide was always attentive with us along the way and we learned a lot of history thanks to her. The time on site averages what a tour trip offers, and although it is never enough in San Miguel if it gives you time to travel the most important

Nice Trip but improvement needed. - This is a very nice trip. Well organized. There are some suggestions (1) please include the public bus fare into the total cost so that there is no need to change coins at the last minutes. Save everyone’s time. (2) please list extra places in San Miguel Allende on a piece of paper with a map so that people can make full use of time while in San Miguel.

lovely town - The meeting point is the Amigos Hostel in the historic area. I assume the tour company is related. The hostel allows you to wait in the lobby which is important as I would not want to be waiting in the dark on the street alone. The tour guide and driver were pleasant and accommodating. It is 5 hours to and again from the town with a lot of traffic on the way there. So we had less than 4 hours in the town. It is however lovely and worth seeing. If I were to go again I would try to stay for a night or two as it has a nice vibe and there are lots of attractive restaurants and shops.
