5.00Our walk, guided by Felipe, was very informative and made us love San Miguel de Allende even more! His passion for this great town was evident and very inspiring. The walk was very easy and mostly flat, as it focused on the historic center of town. We went into several churches and his descriptions and the historical background provided was amazing. He also recommended several restaurants for future dining options that we plan to try. The tour was well worth the affordable price! Thank you!
Fun and Informative Walking Tour

5.00We loved our Cultural Walking Tour of San Miguel de Allende! Our guide, Jalal, was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and warm. She gave us a fantastic overview of the city’s history and culture, and we covered all the major sites while getting a really helpful geographic orientation to the Centro District on our first morning in town. Jalal also went above and beyond by helping us prioritize what to see during the rest of our stay and sharing an excellent list of restaurant recommendations — including many wonderful local spots you won’t find on the usual social media lists. Highly recommend this tour, especially at the start of your visit!
Excellent tour and guide

4.00It’s a wonderful way to learn about the city, get exercise and do it at a leisurely pace. The historical and cultural overview was so helpful to better understanding where we were. Just wish our guide had spoken a bit slower. But he was very knowledgeable and answered our Off script questions.
Informative tour!
