Jesus and his driver were informative caring and fun!!! - Although the trip was wonderful with an excellent guide and driver, I had an awful time processing my tour through Viator. We needed to add two participants to the group. I was told, midday, that my reservation would be canceled and a new one set up. It took a lot of hours from my vacation, errors and nashing of teeth. Finally at 9:30 PM...the evening before (a 9am tour) I completed a reservation. The only way I was able to process this was to pay $80 that I DID NOT OWE. I will be in touch with Viator for a refund of $80!!!! I am an angry loyal customer!!!!

A must see town! - This was an exciting, educational and fun trip. J. Jesus Rodriguez was a superb guide. He was knowledgeable, fun, amiable and extremely accomodating. Querataro was a beautiful town with lovely architecture and numerous churches that allow one to compare architectural styles and review history. If your main hub is San Miguel de Allende, you are picked up and travel in comfort to Queretaro. This is a full day trip (~9am to 5pm) so allow yourself time to enjoy!!

Bewitched Tour - Cancelled last minute by vendor. The require a minimum number of people but we’re not able to get it. It’s pretty easy to get local tour guides by checking around Plaza de Armas, where there is a tourist info office. Hope we can get a refund!!

Disappointing treatment from the tour owner - We were disappointed in this tour, inasmuch as many of the places that were on the itinerary -- two museums and the national theater -- were closed. And they've been closed for a long time due to Covid. Our tour guide said, "we'll need to cut the tour short"...we suggested we visit a winery on the way back, but this came from us not him. The guide himself was knowledgeable about the history of the location, which is why this isn't a 2-star, but the owner, Jesus, should either have not booked us on the tour at all or at least informed us that after a one-hour+ drive many of the destinations would be unavailable.
