Private San Miguel De Allende Walking Tour

Diego was beyond fantastic! I learned so much in a very engaging way. If you are planning a tour request him!

Good tour, liked the history and the art scene. He took us to the markets which we will revisit.

Diego is so knowledgable and articulate.

Enrique showed us some very different areas of interest. He was a wealth of information. Very interesting areas of art, culture and history. Highly recommend a private tour with Enrique.

Alejandro is so knowledgeable about the town history. We really enjoyed his tour. He had to pivot at one of the stops and did a great job

Excellent experience with our questions about local history expertly answered. Alejandro was an excellent host.

Leo was so knowledgeable and kind. We had the best morning exploring San Miguel! Would recommend to anyone !

Catrina tour with excellent guide, Diego. He has a great knowledge of the history of San Miguel and Mexico. I would highly recommend this experience

Amazing tour! Diego was informative, energetic, kind and exceptionally knowledgeable. He provided interesting history on not only San Miguel but on Catholicism as a whole. The tour was bespoke, specifically tailored to our needs and interests. Top notch.

Diego gave a great walking tour around Centro and the market! He was great at explaining the history of Mexico and cultures within the country and San Miguel. Definitely recommend!

The tour guide was very flexible since our van was blocked entry to the city square where we were supposed to meet. He gave us a tour of some main sites and a detailed tour of the market. Very friendly and spoke English well. You walk the whole 2 hours, so wear comfy shoes!

Make sure to request Diego with Catrina Tours! He was everything you want in a guide- knowledgeable, informative, engaging and energetic! Could not have asked for a better experience! Wish we had time for another tour.

Leo showed us all around and gave us some really interesting and exciting history about San Miguel. We can’t say enough nice things about our tour and experience. Highly recommend!

Our tour provided the perfect orientation to San Miguel de Allende on our first day in the city. Our guide, Diego, was great giving us historical context through the a local perspective. As we walked from landmarks and through the artisan market, it was clear that our guide has developed great relationships with the community he works in daily, which added to the richness of the experience.

We loved this tour! I would recommend doing this first when you arrive in SMA. We got a good feel for the layout of the town so the next several days were easy to get around. We learned so much and had fun along the way.

Diego was fantastic and very knowledgeable! Highly recommended for a great overview of all the local attractions.

Alex was our guide and was wonderful. He was so knowledgeable and shared so much information about the city. He took lots of time with us and I’d highly recommend him for a tour guide.

Alejandro was fantastic. He was warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about the history of San Miguel. He took us to several important historic sites and brought each one to life with rich context about the places and the leaders who shaped them. The tour was absolutely worth it, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting.

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.

Leo took us on an intriguing and enjoyable walking tour of San Miguel de Allende and shared not only its history but his unique knowledge of the town given his long history living here.

This walking tour was a great introduction to San Miguel de Allende. Daniel is very personable, and very knowledgeable about both the history of San Miguel de Allende and Mexico.

We had a wonderful tour today with Daniel. My husband had difficulty with the cobblestones and hills so he totally accommodated us by having a taxi take us for the longer walking parts of the tour. I was so very appreciative of this accommodation so we could all take the tour together. San Miguel is so beautiful and historic in the past of Mexico that is was very meaningful to have a knowledgeable guide like Daniel share this knowledge. Thank you Daniel for such a great day🥰

Leonardo’s scope of historical local and global knowledge was astounding and enriched the tour immensely. I highly recommend this tour.

We saw great places and learned much history. Our guide, Felipe, was kind, knowledgeable and fun. We saw many interesting and hidden places most tourists don’t see.

Javier very knowledgeable and friendly. Very good walking tour! Toured the town at 10am to limit crowds. SMA has a rich history

This is an excellent way to see the city through the eyes of a local with a lot of history. Alejandro was superb. Highly recommend this tour. The city market is amazing. We went back right after the tour. Love it!!!

This was a great intro tour to the city of San Miguel de Allende. We learned a lot about the city's history. We highly recommend it.

We had an absolutely wonderful walking tour in San Miguel de Allende. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely flexible, which made all the difference for our group with both kids and adults. He told engaging stories that brought the city to life, adjusted the pace seamlessly, and made thoughtful stops along the way so everyone stayed interested and happy. The kids were entertained and included (no small feat!), while the adults felt like we were learning something meaningful rather than just ticking off landmarks. It never felt rushed or rigid — instead, it felt personal, warm, and tailored to the group. This was exactly the kind of tour you hope for when traveling as a family: insightful, relaxed, and fun for everyone. We’d recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone visiting San Miguel de Allende, especially those traveling with children or anyone who values flexibility and great storytelling.

Great experience. Mary was the perfect guide. All the stops were top notch. We were fortunate that all the people in our group were super nice and we all got along.

We had a nice time with our guide. He showed us a lot of churches and important buildings in the center and gave us some interesting history and facts about the city.

Our guide was extremely knowledgable about the San Miguel culture. He share numerous stories to help us understand the history of the city. Extremely courteous and nice!

Good overview of historic San Miguel. Knowledgeable and friendly guide. Did not bring water as was stated in tour. Got to see a lot of the sites and gave good recommendations for other places to visit after our two hour experience

Wonderful introduction to magical SMA with our guide Diego, who provided the perfect amount of historical and cultural context as we drank in the sights. I appreciated how he could “dive deep” on history whenever we asked and was informative without being didactic. I recommend this experience for your first day in town.

This is an excellent intro to San Miguel. Learn the area and get the basics plus a lot of history. The walking can be simple or a little more rigorous but all is easy. Felipe was very knowledgeable and engaging. There was some repetition but every question was answered well.

We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour! Alejandro is an amazing tour guide and very knowledgeable about the rich history and culture of San Miguel. The tour gave us an opportunity to familiarize ourself with various landmarks around the city and we quickly felt at home. Our guide provided additional recommendations on places to visit and things to do during our stay in San Miguel. All in all, a top notch experience. Highly recommend this tour!

Great historical tour of central San Miguel! Isabel was very knowledgeable about the culture and history of the region and took us to beautiful spots that we would not have seen on our own. We loved it!

Respectful well informed guide Attention was paid to all in this mixed group of people speaking two languages. We moved about from place to place in a relaxed manner getting to chat with other tour members

Great experience! Guide was informative, flexible and very accommodating. Entire group commented on how much they enjoyed the tour.

We enjoyed two wonderful tours with Catrina Tours, and both far exceeded our expectations! Our guide, Diego, was outstanding — knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely entertaining. He brought San Miguel’s rich history, architecture, and culture to life with humor and insight, keeping us both informed and smiling the entire time. We also used Catrina Tours’ drivers for several side trips and transfers, and we couldn’t have been more impressed. The terrain around San Miguel can be challenging, but every driver handled it with skill, confidence, and safety. The vehicles were modern, spotless, and very comfortable. Each driver arrived right on time, was professional and friendly, and made us feel completely at ease. We highly recommend Catrina Tours for anyone visiting San Miguel — they deliver top-quality service from start to finish!

We spent a day and a half with Diego…first a half-day walking tour of the charming town of San Miguel de Allende and then a day trip to the countryside towns. We were so impressed with Diego’s knowledge and pride of the region’s history and culture. But beyond that, he was engaging, humorous and lively! We had wonderful conversations about the past and the present, the differences of thought and similarities we share about being North American neighbors, and our families and interests. He is really a fantastic guide! But beyond that, his colleagues at Catrina Tours were “Juanny”-on-the-Spot with drivers in comfortable vehicles for transport AND they arranged for a wonderful excursion with friend Chef Mario to the market and his kitchen for an amazing cooking experience …we made multiple delicious dishes which we enjoyed with his signature margaritas. 💃🕺🏽Ole’! Catarina Tours is top shelf, top drawer, top dog!

Great introduction to San Miguel de Allende! Diego met us our hotel and was incredibly personable and knowledgeable…and enthusiastic about his adopted city! We mentioned we were Jewish and brought some Jewish history into our tour…a sign of pure professionalism by catering the tour to our own story. Highly recommend!
