Luis did a wonderful job of taking us around the city and explaining the art history and places of interest.
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.
Luis took us to 3 diverse galleries & gave us an easy to understand and great appreciation of the scope of art from chldrens toys. to the fabulous paper mache mojitsgangas to murals by masters. He answered our questions & gave us a great background to absorg more Mexican art & crafts while we are here. We were so pleased & appreciative . We highly recommend Luis

Perfect for the person that wants to know more about specific Mexican art. You will learn about tiny toys to giant puppets and quite a bit about the artist community of today.
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.
