Colorful San Miguel
When traveling to new places I always enjoy a tour of the historic center to begin my trip.
This was excellent. Our tour guide, Filipe, was knowledgeable and personable. San Miguel has a long and colorful history and Filipe told its story that kept us all engaged. He eagerly answered any questions we had. I highly recommend booking this tour.

My friend and I had a...
My friend and I had a great experience attending The Doors of San Miguel 4-hour painting workshop. We were delighted to have the workshop led by master painter Fernando, whose encouraging teaching style immediately put us at ease. He guided us through the process step by step with a thoughtful approach that made even the most intricate details feel manageable. His method was incredibly well-structured and easy to follow, whether you were picking up a brush for the first time or had prior experience.
We especially appreciated how much we learned in just four hours. We walked away with not only a finished piece inspired by the iconic doors of the city, but also a handful of new techniques we’re genuinely excited to continue practicing beyond the workshop. It struck a perfect balance between creativity and instruction, making it both relaxing and rewarding. We would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone looking to connect with their creative juices in a fun and meaningful way.

Must do!
Our host Diego was very friendly and helped prepare us for everything we needed to bring and what to leave home. Our pickup was seamless and the breakfast option was fantastic (and vegetarian friendly)! We had fun conversation in the comfortable SUV and he handled our noisy kids in the third row like a champ!
Tolantango was a wonderful experience. The hot pools were sublime on their own, but I wasn't expecting such a magnificent canyon view beyond them! The cave/tunnel was our family's favorite part of the trip and it was the most unusual part. Traversing through warm water while cold water pours upon you is invigorating! Our older two kids are confident swimmers and had no issues, but we held close to our youngest. Be mindful of bringing too many little ones that aren't strong swimmers.
Lunch was great and so was swimming in the river. Although we didn't get much time there and that felt rushed. But it was kind of expected when we have so much distance to cover in one day.
Overall wonderful experience for our family we would recommend anyone to try! Note: we went on a weekday and especially the hot pools were fairly crowded (but not too bad). I've heard it can be much worse on the weekends.

Excellent value, people and wine.
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.

Must do for the whole family!
This was an awesome trip! 3 kids (8,6 and 4) and one senior citizen were also in our group and they all had a blast. The variety of things to do there was an awesome surprise and our tour guides literally thought of everything- from blankets for the van ride, to a beautiful riverside picnic at the end of the day, and headlamps etc.

Jesus was Exceptional!
The drive from San Miquel de Allende to Guanajuato was delightful as Jesus filled us in on the tour itinerary and gave us a historical and cultural framework that perfectly set up our time on the ground in Guanajuato. Once there he led us through the very dense urban core of the city and we were able to enjoy the many architectural gems and the wonderful plazas and public space. Highly recommend this tour in general and Jesus in particular!

Great food drinks and company.
Omar was great and his commentary often bent the history discussion towards the history of food in Mexico which was a really interesting angle. Great mix of foods and drinks including beer tequila and mescal. Felt like we went to more places than advertised. Your fun may depend on your group (ours was great) but who signs up for tacos and tequila if they aren't down for fun? Definitely recommended.

Exceptional Chef, Exceptional Class
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!

Omar was great !! Highly recommend
Our tour guide was Omar and he was amazing !! I did this tour with my boyfriend and it ended up just being us three in total for the duration of the tour, but it was a such a blessing. More intimate and lots of time for questions and conversation. Omar knows a lot about the history of San Miguel de Allende and the way he weaves the stories into how things came to be in present day is remarkable. Food was accommodating to my vegetarian diet (my partner did get his meat) and it was truly delicious. He even gave us cocktail/dinner suggestions (and contingency plans) for after the tour- which was amazing !!! We ended up going to both locations he recommended. Ended up being 3 hours likely because it was just us three so less waiting around for a bigger group, but it was the perfect amount of time for us. Highly recommend !!!

Amazing winery
Driver (Angel?) showed up on time and professional. Winery was beautiful. After a comprehensive tour, we sat for our wine tastings. Marco at the winery had been out of university for a year and had studied in the industry. He provided detailed information about the area, property, winemaking and answered our questions. We had generous pours and repeats when finished. We each had our own charcuterie board with meats, cheeses, grapes, olives, breadstick, and raw honey. We chose not to do the extra walking around on our own or to sit for lunch, so he called the driver who came to pick us up within 15 minutes. We purchased a few bottles of wine from the store and also ordered a cocktail to enjoy on the patio. We started the experience at exactly 12:30 PM and got back to our hotel by 3:30 PM. We were picked up at the location, which was a 6 minute walk from our hotel. And on the way back, we asked the driver if he could drop us to directly to the hotel and he was happy to do so.

Fantastic trail ride and cultural experience
This was the highlight of our trip. I booked a half day excursion for my partner's birthday. We had such a fun day! It's so much more than just booking a ride. Thomas and his family are very welcoming and the day starts with a special Mexican coffee that is delicious, followed by learning to milk a cow (if you choose) making your own special Latte:-) The horses are fantastic..very surefooted and trustworthy. Thomas and all the wranglers make it a blast with suggestions, singing and general good cheer as you embark on a great ride down to the river and back with several different terrains and beautiful views of the countryside. On your return you are served a delicious homemade lunch in a beautiful spot not he property. One of the best meals we had the whole trip. Highly recommend for a family, small group of couple. You don't want to miss this experience!

In the Mexican state of Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende has long been a haven for artists, expats, and retirees drawn to the colorful and quaint Pueblo Magico (Magic Town). Fly over the beautiful center in a hot-air balloon or learn to make salsas, moles, and other regional specialties during a cooking class. And if you get tired of the easy life, other San Miguel de Allende tours amp up the energy by taking you hiking in the Sierra Gorda Queretana mountains.
