Top notch tour of San Miguel de Allende with Sam! - Sam was our tour guide for the day and was ext ordinarily friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating! In addition to the local sights included on the tour he pointed out many other places of interest that we might be interested in visiting and exploring. The lunch and chocolate shop he took us to were outstanding! However, the best part of the tour was his knowledge of the area, its history, and his recommendations for the many other places we might want to explore during our month in San Miguel de Allende. We feel that we’ve made a friend in San Miguel and will definitely recommend him to others!

Very knowledgeable guide! - We learned a lot about the history and culture of San Miguel de Allende in a short amount of time. We never felt rushed. The meal at the conclusion was the perfect lunch and a visit to the chocolate shop capped it off beautifully.

Wonderful taste of … - Sam is incredibly knowledgeable about SMA and has many stories and historical facts to share. His deep understanding of life in Mexico .. with all its glory and problems … enriched our tour. He is American (from MN originally) and has lived in this land for more than a decade. He speaks fluent Spanish and Finnish also. Lunch was delicious at a typical SMA restaurant, as was ice cream at a vendor outside the Vince t.

Terrific tour! - Elisa was a wonderful guide. A friend from Minnesota came to visit, and I booked the tour to get her some background on this beautiful city. Elisa is very knowledgeable, and having grown up in San Miguel, she provided some extra insight into the culture and traditions of Mexican families. I highly recommend this tour!
