This was perfect for our... - This was perfect for our first day in SMA to get an overview of the city center and where we wanted to go back to spend more time. We cannot recommend Elisa Torres highly enough-she was really terrific as our guide!

Do this tour on your first day! - We loved our tour with Elisa! She incorporated so much history into the tour and the snacks were so tasty. Her perspective as a San Miguel de Allende local was so special. She showed us several places we returned to later to shop and gave us recommendations for the rest of our stay.

Wonderful authentic art and food tour! - Elisa gave a wonderful history of the town, insight to the foods, and retelling of how San Miguel became an artist community. She knows many people in tow, has lived there her whole life, and is proud and authentic about her home. It was a fantastic tour with lots of choices for food! She also helped us identify good makers from whom to purchase our souvenirs. Excellent experience!
