This is a 3-fer. You get the added benefit of a none pretentious art tour and lesson. We enjoyed the entire tour. The pace was just right, not rushed and not to much walking. There were also lots of opportunities for bathroom breaks. The music is like icing on top of a good cake. We highly recommend this tour.

We had such an amazing time with Paschal! He was very talented, down to earth, funny and took us to hidden gems in San Miguel. We learned so much more than just local history. He sang, told great stories and we ended up at his house for a delicious lunch. He even walked us to the taxi stand and let the driver know where we needed to go.

    Absolutely fantastic! ...

    Susan_S, Feb 2026
    Absolutely fantastic! This is one of the best tours I've ever taken. The entire experience was perfect, ending with a fantastic meal and Pascal's lovely singing. It's a must in San Miguel!

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Well it was absolutely lovely meeting you as well! I much appreciate the compliment and I do appreciate that you had a wonderful time however perfection might not be the right adjective. What I prefer to strive for over perfection any day is to be authentic and offer a shared experience leaving room for flaws and all, all the while inviting you into my artistic world where we can celebrate what it means to be human. Cheers!

    Magical Day of Music, Art, and Food

    Cynthia_T, Jan 2026
    This is an experience not to be missed! Pascal is a master musician, host, and entertainer. We gathered on New Years Day and he first sang some songs and gave us a musical history lesson as well as audience participation which was grand! He then took us on a tour of the city where we enjoyed the murals and a section of town that I hadn't previously visited. We then ended up at his house for a delightful lunch and more music!! This was my second time going on a tour with Pascal, he is an artist that freely shares his talents with us and he is also a delightful person to get to know. We all had a great time!

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Oh thank you Cynthia for this wonderful review! It was indeed a special day and it was fun that did an alternate route with the group being the first of the year. In fact it was a great way to begin 2026. Thank you for being part of it. I wish you the best with your business and do hope we get to talk shop again in San Miguel! May your year be filled with blessings!

    Amazing music/art/nature walk/food tour in SMA!

    Michael_H, Jan 2026
    Pascal sang! He played instruments! He talked about art! He hosted us in his beautiful home and served us an amazing home cooked meal! This experience was a great diversion into the musical and artistic culture of Mexico and San Miguel de Allende. It is great for small groups and families. Pascal’s gregarious personality makes him well-suited for this experience, and I can’t recommend it enough. Would consider doing it again just to hear some different dad jokes :)

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Michael it was an absolute pleasure receiving you two! And if you do it again I promise to consult my dictionary of dad jokes, for even a dad joke with the right timing can be funny. Jokes aside I hope our paths cross again in this beautiful town of mine!

    Best Tour Ever!!

    Amy_K, Dec 2025
    This experience was fantastic!! Our guide, Pasquale, was insightful, expressive and musically talented. This tour was not just music. It was a walking tour of the back streets of San Miguel, an art tour, and an amazing food experience as well. Pasquale’s family prepared a delicious lunch and dessert for us, which was outstanding. Very highly-recommended tour!!

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Thanks so much Amy for this heartfelt review! It was delightful closing the year with you guys! Thanks for the good vibes and leaning into the experience! I hope your new year projects bring you and your family abundance and happiness! Cheers!

    Exceptional Experience

    Rolando_N, Dec 2025
    Wonderful experience with an exceptional story teller and someone who really has a deep passion for the artistic community in San Miguel. The music and stories were icing on the cake.

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Thanks Rolando! Meeting you and your family is the reason why I love my job so much! Everyone in your family was just so lovely and polite! If you come back to San Miguel we can meet in my home again and well…as they say in Spanish: "¡Que empiece la bohemia!"

    Wonderful day!!

    Wynne_F, Dec 2025
    What a wonderful day with Pascal. He was informative and insightful and sooo talented! His voice was pure and beautiful and I was transported! Lunch at the house was lovely and Lupita’s cooking was delicious. I would recommend this tour to anyone! Thank you Pascal!!

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Thanks so much Wynne! It was so great meeting you! You are the best travelers! Open to learning, asking questions and leaning into the experience with interest! Thanks for this lovely review! Safe travels and see you again in beautiful San Miguel!

    Nancy_A, Jul 2025
    A small unique intimate tour,. Pascal is very entertaining. The music & the food were fabulous! I very much enjoyed this tour.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Thank you so much for joining! It was wonderful meeting you! See you again in the streets of San Miguel!

    To Music, Art, Food, and New Friends!

    Tilney_F, May 2025
    What a delightful way to spend the afternoon! We had Pascal all to ourselves which made it all the more special. We loved hearing him play and sing—we even helped write a song (hahah, we only shouted out a few words to jumpstart the lyrics…Pascal did all the real work!). The tour through La Fábrica was a feast for the eyes, with the bonus of insider knowledge as Pascal knew many of the artists and gallery owners we met. Then we checked out a few cool murals in the Guadalupe neighborhood as we made our way to Pascal’s place for a fantastic lunch. He is so kind and funny, and a great storyteller. We left feeling like we had a new friend. Thanks for a wonderful day, Pascal!

    Response from Host, May 2025

    It was really nice meeting you both, Tilney and Nathan! And yes I hope to see you again in San Miguel be it to write, bike or both! : ) take care, safe travels and as the great Chinese Philosopher once said wheresoever you may go, go with all your heart!

    Music as insight into the Mexican culture

    Robert_S, May 2025
    Pascal was an engaging, talented guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. I recommend for the traveler looking for personal interactions.

    Response from Host, May 2025

    Thank you for reviewing! It was indeed a delight meeting you both, and it’s true for me it’s all about personal interactions! I hope paths cross again in San Miguel, Take care!

    Colorful Artsy San Miguel

    Jillian_B, Feb 2025
    Spend the morning listening to music, browsing through art galleries, talking to some local artists and exploring some colorful neighborhoods. Lovely lunch with Paschal at his home. It’s probably the nicest tour I’ve ever done. Just a really lovely day.

    Response from Host, Feb 2025

    Thank you Jillian! It was wonderful receiving you! Safe travels!

    Passionate, engaging, and knowledgeable about Mexican and San Miguel history. Pascal is a wonderful singer/guitarist and a great ambassador for music and the local community. Loved meeting several local artists in their galleries. Tour ended at his home with music, stories, tequila, and a home cooked lunch. Recommended!

    What an interesting afternoon!

    Jan_S, Mar 2024
    Pascal was a delightful entertainer and musician who was customized our trip to our needs and wants and was a thoughtful host. He introduced us to various interesting artists and gave us a slice of life of a true renaissance man who lives in a this beautiful Mexican town. He serenaded us with history and music while we enjoyed a delicious home cooked meal and insisted on walking us to the corner to meet our Uber. A delight!

    Response from Host, Apr 2024

    Great meeting you! It was indeed my pleasure to customize the experience for you! Take care and see you soon in San Miguel. All the best!

    Great Experience

    Leo_G, Apr 2023
    Wow! What an incredible experience. Pascal has a great personality and includes everyone in the music and just makes it fun. It is a little awkward at first but becomes really enjoyable. Art walking was just a tad long but overall great experience. Good Job Pascal!

    Response from Host, Apr 2023

    Thanks for your feedback, fantastic meeting you! Hope to see you again in San Miguel! Take care : )

    Good Times in San Miguel De Allende - Art, History, Music, and Food

    Karen_K, Mar 2023
    What a great time. We weren't sure how this might turn out but we were 'wowed' by the experience. Pascal is great! He is very personable, talented, and a genuinely nice guy. We learned a bit of history, viewed interesting art pieces (we were able to speak with several of the artists about their work), were serenaded with great songs, and finished the tour with a wonderful (gastronomic) lunch. It was definitely time well spent and we each were a bit more educated about San Miguel, art, food, and music as a result. Ron Kohl on behalf of Karen, Mike and Linda.

    Response from Host, Mar 2023

    So, great to meet you guys! I'm delighted that you had a wonderful time! Also your interesting questions and engagement made my day! Hope to see you all again in San Miguel! Be well! : )

    See above.

    Emily_E, Mar 2023

    Wonderful music. Great food. Beautiful art. I prefer not to say any more as that is the best I can do.

    Response from Host, Mar 2023

    We had the most enjoyable day thanks to Pascal, listening to him play his guitar & sing, looking at art, enjoying his colorful stories and seeing beautiful sites. What a great day!

    Really unique and great way to spend an afternoon

    Jennifer_Y, Apr 2022
    Pascal had great stories and we had a great time learning about the artists in Fabrica Aurora and some of the history of the music. He has a great voice and we had our two children with us and they got to participate in the music making.

    Traditional music, entertaining source

    Adam_C, Mar 2022
    Pascal was informative, quick-witted, and talented, showing us his singer/songwriter skills, instrumental diversity, and storytelling prowess.

    Fun tour with music, art & food!

    Cindy_S, Mar 2022
    Lovely tour with music, art and great food. Be prepared to walk a bit, the trip is 4-5 hours total. Pascal is a great guide!

    Wonderful experience of music, story, art, strolling and food.

    nancytylimpsyd, Dec 2021
    Pascal is a lovely human being, multi talented and gifted in his art. It was a delight listening to his singing and playing guitar and flute, taking us through the history of Mexico through music and storytelling. We highly recommend this experience. You will be glad you did!

    Delightful

    Roubina_R, Nov 2021
    Pascal was a great guide and a wonderful musician. His Planning, Organizing, coordinating, ability to communicate and direct was good and with ease. We did plenty of activities including art galleries and the artisans market. He also presented San Miguel Allende’s History in an interesting manner and excellent knowledge. He added wonderful songs from the region to spice it up beautifully

    Great and unique experience for art and music lovers.

    Erick_T, May 2021
    This was a very different kind of tour. A very good kind. Its intended for people that love art and music. Pascal is a very knowledgeable person. He talks french, spanish and english and sings in those three languages as well. He appreciate art very well. It was a very special way to start my vacations in SMA. He ended the tour with lunch at a beautiful small and hidden gem of a restaurant. The owners were beautiful people. That was my first lunch in SMA, and to tell you the truth, it was one of my best during the rest of the week in SMA. I strongly recommend this tour.

    A perfect day!

    elisa_m, Apr 2021
    We loved our tour! It was a fun way to see a different part of San Miguel de Allende. Pascal is a very talented musician who knows a lot about the history of all music. We listened to music, saw beautiful art and then capped it off with a delicious meal. What a perfect day!
