All San Miguel de Allende Tours & Excursions in 2026

Our day at Rancho Xotolar was easily one of the highlights of our time in San Miguel de Allende. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with the kind of genuine warmth and hospitality that makes you feel instantly like part of the family. The entire excursion was flawlessly coordinated. The trail ride itself was spectacular, taking us through breathtaking, ruggedly beautiful landscapes that show you a whole different side of the region. The horses were clearly well-loved, gentle, and highly responsive. A massive thank you to the owner, Tomas, and to Leo and Felix, and all members of their kind and capable family, who went above and beyond to make sure our ride and ranch tour were safe, fascinating, and incredibly fun. Learning about the history and daily life of the ranch directly from them made the experience so much more meaningful. To top it all off, we were treated to a phenomenal, fresh, home-cooked lunch prepared right there at the ranch. If you want an authentic, breathtaking adventure rooted in deep family tradition and hospitality, do not miss Rancho Xotolar. We cannot recommend them highly enough and hope to return for another unique experience one day!

It's a great way to figure out the city. Felipe was very knowledgeable very friendly. I'm highly recommend doing this when you first get here especially if you are so little traffic gives you an idea on you surroundings. Felipe gave me a lot of comfort tell me a lot about the town that was safe to walk as a solo person and since I had the tour I've been wandering around all parts of the city. He was very fine to show me things on the map. Thank you so much loved it.

Our guide Leo was wonderful! His knowledge of San Miguel was unparalleled as he is a native of this quaint, stunning town. He was able to take us around the major sites of the city and thoroughly explained the history of the area as well. I would highly recommend a tour with Leo should you visit San Miguel de Allende.

This proved to be an excellent adventure. Leo, our driver was both charming and informative. The winery itself was an idyllic location in both landscapes and buildings. This was paired perfectly (wine terminology) with the knowledgeable tour hosted by S Stephanie. She brought the story to life and added so much to our enjoyment. Now throw in several very enjoyable tasting options and you have an experience that exceeded our expectations.

We were delighted when we learned that Sam would be leading this food tour. We met him a couple of years ago on another food outing and were impressed with his knowledge and enthusiasm. He makes the experience a lot of fun. Participants will have an opportunity to sample several traditional Mexican dishes and learn a bit of history at the same time.

Pasquale, the tour guide, was excellent. Friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. The food was excellent, especially the dessert flan. The 5 stops were more than enough for a hearty appetite. Consider it dinner, it was more than enough. We were fine, but some folks with mobility issues need to know there are lots of stairs. Pasquale patiently waited and double-checked to ensure every person was ok. This was my first food tour. Do it, the venues and food were great.

This was the most exceptional cooking. class I have ever attended. (And I have attended many.) Chef David was such a great teacher. I can't believe how much he improved my knife game after a single session! He was warm and friendly, knowledgeable and kind, the food we made together was delicious and I can't wait to repeat the recipes now that I'm back home!

Tour: We had a great experience on this trip. Our guide was very organized and was so knowledgeable about the site and regional history that he really made it vivid and memorable. We learned so much and had a great time exploring the site. Like every good tour, it left us wanting to learn more! We were also lucky enough to see some of the beautiful horses that roam the area. Highly recommend this tour while you’re in the area. The pace was good for reasonably fit persons. Site: Restroom is available at the site entrance only. You will not be able to carry in bags of any sort. There are secure lockers to leave your bags at the entrance. Uphill and downhill walking on uneven terrain and cobblestones, nothing extreme. Opportunity to climb to the top of the central building and take in the entire view (optional).
