A wonderful day in San Miguel de Allende - Our tour guide, Elisa Torres, gave our group a most interesting and enjoyable tour of beautiful San Miguel de Allende. Born and raised in San Miguel, Elisa imparted not only her knowledge of the city and its history but did do with a heart to that spanned the many generations of her family and their real life. We saw lots of architecture presented with the story the peoples that brought it here from churchs to revolutionaries, and the dwellings they inhabited making the current beautiful city, feel as if are were back in time. It ended with a wonderful lunch that exhibited traditional delicious foods chosen to depict their true heritage, with delightful conversation regarding the good and how connected their families remain to it this day. Bravo, I Recommend Elisa Torres as a tour guide for anyone who wants to get a glimpse of this beautiful city.

Exceptional Tour! - Tour guide Elisa was amazing! Her tour perfectly matched our interests: churches, architecture, history and food! I would give her 10 solid stars if it was possible. Elisa is approachable and answered all of our questions and then some.

Engaging and wonderful walk. - When someone loves their town, you just know.
We had so many questions on the history here and Elisa filled in the gaps nicely.
Elisa not only shared the history, but through the tour, you get a better idea of the sense of community in San Miguel de Allende. The town is a jewell as was our walking tour. So many little things we would have missed if we hadn't done the tour.

Done hesitate. Good value. - Lisa Torres was lovely and gave us so much history we never would have known. It was just me and my husband so we were able to set the pace. Although, it would have been nice to be with others. Since we went on a Monday, we didn't get into one place of the most wealthy family. So, I'd advise a different day. The lunch was very good. And, it was the first mole I actually enjoyed. Don’t hesitate. Good value.
