Jesus was thorough, knowledgeable and accommodating. Thank you for a great summed up history of beautiful SMA!
Jesús was a great tour guide. He tailored the walking tour to our group. He answered all of our multiple questions about history and current life in San Miguel. Highly recommend booking with him.
Jesus is very knowledgeable, friendly and easy to go guy. Learned a lot about this beautiful city just by spending 2 hours with him. We were only 2 of us and he was kind enough to not to cancel this tour.
Beautiful city,churches, buildings iron work. Excellent knowledgeable guide above average English friendly, helpful relaxed
Jesus was very knowledgeable. Knew so much about history of San Miguel! We enjoyed the two hour walk very much and would recommend it to anyone who wants to visit this magical town!
Jesús was an amazing guide. He was full of historical information and answered all of my questions. I did two different tours with him. I highly recommend!!
We waited at the designated location for an hour and the tour guide never showed. We tried calling but his voicemail was full. We sent a text but no response. Other tourists were there as well. We finally sought the help of one of the tour guides from the city and she also tried contact Jesus. Very disappointing and unprofessional. I won’t book through TripAdvisor again and I hope I can get my money back.
We had a great experience with Jesus. He explained the history of San Miguel and paused for questions and asked if we had questions or wanted to know more information on things he explained. Jesus is very friendly and we enjoyed the pace of the tour and all the history that was shared.
Jesus led us on a nicely paced, interesting cultural and historical introduction to SMA. We really enjoyed the side trip to a beautiful park and the old laundry. As a SMA local, Jesus had a lot of insider knowledge to share!
We loved Jesus guided walk, he provided fascinating historical information, the local nobility influence and how San Miguel de Allende came to be the name of the town. We are so happy that we used a local native guide to support his small business. The guides walk was definitely fascinating. Jesus also provides us with information on other areas we should visit in the state of Guanajato.
Very enjoyable and informative tour with lots of information about SMA the surrounding area and Mexico historically
Great and informative history tour which taught us about the origin of the city, key sites and cultural highlights. Really outstanding.
Jalah was as much as tour guide as a professor, I'm sure she only snatched the surface of her knowledge of San Miguel de Allende. Definately the most well informed guide to date
Excellent job. Two groups. One English and one Spanish. Very knowledgeable guide. His English was excellent. He told me things about the city that I did not know even though I had been there over 20 times in the past 20 years.
Jesus is a friendly, engaging and knowledgeable tour guide. He has lived in San Miguel for his whole life and clearly loves the community and speaks with great pride of its history. He gave us plenty of time to ask questions and made us feel very welcome. I would definitely recommend him.
This is an excellent walking tour that hits the highlights of San Miguel history and its cultural and political development. Our tour guide Emma was fantastic . I would do this again
Jesus was a wonderful tour guide and had incredible knowledge of the history of San Miguel. He was an expert at the background of all the churches, their architecture and what made them unique and had great pride about his wonderful city. He had answers to every question and made the 2 hours very worthwhile and enjoyable!
Jesús added local History, Knowledge and first hand experiences, as he grew up in San Miguel de Allende! He also gave us insight into the local culture, which was excelente!!
Jesus was very friendly and knowledgeable about San Miguel. It was a very pleasurable walk. I would do this walk again.Thanks Jesus.
Jalal was our tour guide, and she was excellent! She was extremely knowledgable. We could feel her passion for history. She was also very friendly and patient, and took some great photos and videos for us. We had a lot of fun and learned a ton!
Jesus was an excellent tour guide - very knowledgeable of the history and architecture and because it was just him and I he took me to some very interesting parts of the city including some outstanding art galleries. Very nice person - 2 thumbs up!
I would love to give a good review because I’ve heard great things about this tour. However I was at the designated meeting spot, early, but no one ever showed up for the tour. I tried to call the only number I had several times, but no one picked up. Very disappointed, especially since I paid n advance.
My guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. I learned a lot about the historical and cultural aspects of the town. I would highly recommend this tour.
Our walking tour with Jesus very educational and fun. Jesus made the walking tour a great experience with his knowledge of the town. He provided us with great tips and suggestions on whete to shop and eat!!
Jesus was wonderful. We learned a lot on this tour. Although only two hours, we felt like we saw all the sights, but never felt rushed. We will be taking another tour with Jesus tomorrow. We recommend him highly.
Jesus was great. Knowledgeable, caring, fun. Easy to talk with, gave advice for other activities. Ww all had a very good time
Absolutely brilliant to learn and experience the history from a local guide. J.B was fantastic and took her time to explain the rich history, architecture & art, her passion and life of the town shone through. I would highly recommend this tour. J.B’s English was very very good and she also provided some good eating places for our stay in San Miguel
After wandering around on my own for a day or so, I realized I didn't really know anything about this wonderful town. Jesus, who grew up in San Miguel, is sooo knowledgable. He has such depth of the history and was open to all sorts of questions any curious person might have. It was an easy walk and I left feeling I learned enough to enjoy SMA even more than I already had been. You just need to take this tour to know where you are.
Jesús is very knowledgeable. Even with the up and down of the streets it was a perfect pace for the over 50 crowd. Loved it. Definitely recommend.
He was very informative, answered any questions, and had a great sense of humor. Walking pace was comfortable and the information he provided helped us understand San Miguel de Allende better.
We had a great time with Jesus, and were very lucky to have him to ourselves since 3 other people didn't show up. He was so knowledgeable and insightful as he was born in San Miguel de Allende. You could feel his connection and interest in the town. He does a great job showing how well preserved the city is with past pictures and showing how it's largely unchanged today. He walked us through so many different pieces of San Miguel...the history, the local pieces and even bought us treats to try as we walked through the local markets. Definitely recommend booking with him.
We had a great time and learned so much about SMA. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get a historical and cultural perspective on SMA.
Jesus is a wealth of knowledge. You can tell he loves what he’s doing. Worthwhile experience I would definitely book with him again
Jesus is native to San Miguel. He took the time to give so much interesting history of the city and it’s rich traditions. Would definitely recommend to book this early in your trip as it helps you understand the city and appreciate all that is around you.
The tour covered numerous places I was interested in, such as the art institute and the Jardín Benito Juárez. It also covered off the beaten path places like the old public laundry. The tour guide made sure everyone kept up and gave us water and bathroom breaks.
Jalal was a wonderful and enthusiastic guide. Very knowledgeable with a great passion for the history and lots of great tips for more things to explore in SMA. Would definitely recommend.
Jalal was an amazing tour guide! She is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We learned so much about the history and culture which was a great way to begin our visit. I only wished the tour was longer!
Sometimes you just get lucky and receive an experience way above your expectations. I was honored to be toured around SMA by Jalal, a researcher with years of experience. She packed an insane amount of information into the tour’s time (plus, generously, bonus time), while making it engaging and not overwhelming. She continuously checked in with the group to make sure that everyone was keeping up with the pace OK. We all received a cute video from her and a list of places to visit. If you just arrived in SMA, start with this tour, it will set you up for a perfect visit with many points of interest to come back to and hidden gems you’d never find on your own. This highly knowledgeable team operates as FollowMeTour or Romotour.
Jesus was remarkable, incredibly knowledgable, friendly and fun. The pace was good and the guide's love for his city was infectious. This is a great way to get oriented to the city.
Chucho (Jesus) was very warm, animated and knowledgeable. We loved the tour. I’m normally limited in my capacity to walk a lot, and this tour was easily within my ability to keep up. Chucho’s enthusiasm for his city was obvious, and it was contagious. We would happily recommend this tour to anyone, and in fact we already have sent our friends!
Jesus was an outstanding tour guide! Very authentic local experience. He was born and raised here therefore has a lot of stories that he actually lived in SMA. Thanks Jesus!
An easy walking tour for about 1.5 miles around town. Parks, churches, buildings and some history mixed in. I was hoping for a bit more information on life n San Miguel today.
Jalal did a fabulous job. She is extremely knowledgeable and courteous. I'd recommend this tour. Especially with Jalal.
Jesus was outstanding! Authentic local experience. Born and raised here. Excellent value. Knows all the great spots.
Jesus was very knowledgeable and personable. The tour was all it was expected to be and more. Pace was great.
Our guide Jalal was so wonderful that we took another private tour with her the next day. Not only was she incredibly knowledgable about the town and grew up here, but she was fun, energetic and clearly loved what she was doing! You will be lucky if you get to go on a tour with Jalal. Highly recomended!
Our tour guide was Emma who was extraordinarily knowledgeable about the history of San Miguel and engaging as a guide
Jesus is very knowledgeable and very personable. He showed us both churches and the houses of the wealthy as well as parts of San Miguel occupied by average citizens. We learned history of San Miguel that was quite interesting.
Great tour with our amazing guide Jesus! He was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot and enjoyed the tour. Highly recommended.
