Tour to learn more about San Miguel - Amazing experience!! Rulo is the best guide tour in San Miguel. He takes the time to show our group all the important parts of the city, answer all our questions, and gave us recommendations on what to eat as a local. I truly recommend this experience.

Start your visit with this walking tour. - There’s a lot to unpack in San Miguel de Allende so starting off our visit with this walking tour led by the wonderful Jalal was definitely the way to go. She not only showed us many locations but also provided us with a list of places to eat. We’re also going back to some of the places we visited with her for a more in-depth look. We appreciated Jalal’s historical knowledge as well! Wear comfortable shoes and bring a water bottle. We considered this walk to be fairly easy.
