Excellent tour, we learn so much about the history of Mexico and San Miguel de Allende, Diego es very knowledgeable. The visit to The Sanctuary of Jesús Nazareno de Atotonilco, with the exquisite Mexican Baroque murals on its ceilings and walls is just an amazing experience. Thank you Diego for sharing your knowledge with us.

Leo is such a great guide! We learned a lot.
Picked up at our hotel on time. It was Leo our guide and a driver. Went up to two lookouts over the city, then explored some other areas, saw murals, ancient hacienda now an arts school, went away from the city to an historic church, all the while learning from Leo the history of the city and Mexico. Leo was born and raised in SMA and his English was excellent. We had a walking tour booked the next day with the same company and asked if guides could be switched so that we had Leo again, which the company accommodated. Great time!

Great tour, learned a lot.
There was a little more walking than anticipated, but Diego was very solicitous of our mother’s pace always lending an arm on stairs. His knowledge of Atotontilco was quite impressive!
