Great art tour with Luis!

My husband and I were visiting San Miguel and booked an art tour with Luis. It was fantastic! We learned so much and saw some amazing things. The toy museum was spectacular. Luis was a wonderful guide. He answered all our questions, never rushed us, and seemed to know everything! He was great, and so was the art in San Miguel! I highly recommend this tour.

Great Art Tour

Enjoyable tour. Our guide was professional, knowledgeable and passionate about art, architecture and history. He was concerned about our comfort and we walked on the shady side of streets and he inquired if we needed to drink water etc. A great way to discover San Miguel.
