None. The guide had very little knowledge. Gave us xerox copy of what we supposedly saw at the end of the walk.

My group and myself felt terribly disappointed with the tour we got last week. We asked for this to be cut short, because of how terrible it was going. The person who gave us the "tour" as nice and polite as she was, had absolutely no idea of San Miguel de Allende, and while this might work for foreigners, we as Mexicans soon realized she had no clue. We learned absolutely nothing, I feel totally ripped off being that there are very high quality tours that charge nothing, I overpaid expecting a good experience. Be aware of this experience as it’s presented as a non formal friendly guide, however doesn’t make sense to pay for literally nothing. You can find very well prepared guides in the streets who also speak very good English.

Louda was not at meeting point at 12. It was hot and she found us at 12:10. Said she was looking for us under the trees about 50 yards away. She said she was asking other ladies if they were Darlene. Then she did not speak to 4 of us. I’m the group leader who has been to SMA several times. Other three ladies were new to SMA. Just frustrating that they couldn’t hear her well. Her voice did not carry, she was older (over 65, I’m thinking) and just didn’t have a ‘fun personality’ that we expected. No funny stories about being a local, hidden places, unique sites that tourists don’t go to. One lady was interested in doors so we did see doors! At Rosewood to see the beautiful view from rooftop, she told me we were not allowed to see the view due to workers cleaning the area. Huh? I went over and was told to help ourselves to the view. Louda was getting ready to take us back downstairs. Not confident in telling workers we only want 3 minutes to take a picture? Lots of walking single file on sidewalks which couldn’t be helped! Tempuras probably 85 degrees and she just wasn’t I tuned to our needs. Stopping and resting in park which I suggested to ‘recharge’ in the heat was necessary. Stopping for a cold drink would have been nice. We did see doors, sidewalks, the park, the old washing area used long ago, and she did share info about houses renting out front to little tiendas. Rent has risen so high that it’s not possible to live in the city without extra income to pay new taxes. Tour was just ok! 2 stars!

Laura was a nice lady, but did not give us a tour of anything. She did have a prepared written pieces, but no help in telling you about anything. We were very surprised as we have used Viator probably 100 times. You should stop this program. You need a real guide. Also, English not understanable. Thumbs down!

Hello William,
I'm sorry to hear that your tour did not go as planned. The Lokafyer who accompanied you was experienced and had done many successful tours before. I've noted your feedback, and we are going to speak with the Lokafyer to understand more about the situation. My colleague will also contact you as soon as possible so we can assess the situation appropriately and learn from your experience.
