San Miguel De Allende Driving Tour

Educational & fun tour. Great guide with historical knowledge of area! Felt safe during entire tour.

Hotel pick up available and many little extras not mentioned on line like food tasting and conversation with locals

Very, very informative. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of San Miguel Arrived on time. Very personable, polite and courteous. Highly recommend this tour, especially first day in San Miguel. Will give you a perspective to help choose other activities.

Really great tour. Very individualized for your particular interests. Super informative. Wish I had done this first!

Excellent tour, we learn so much about the history of Mexico and San Miguel de Allende, Diego es very knowledgeable. The visit to The Sanctuary of Jesús Nazareno de Atotonilco, with the exquisite Mexican Baroque murals on its ceilings and walls is just an amazing experience. Thank you Diego for sharing your knowledge with us.

Phillipe was a delight. He was Very intelligent snd considerate. We loved the tour and so so much of the city and neighborhoods. I would highly recommend this tour.

Picked up at our hotel on time. It was Leo our guide and a driver. Went up to two lookouts over the city, then explored some other areas, saw murals, ancient hacienda now an arts school, went away from the city to an historic church, all the while learning from Leo the history of the city and Mexico. Leo was born and raised in SMA and his English was excellent. We had a walking tour booked the next day with the same company and asked if guides could be switched so that we had Leo again, which the company accommodated. Great time!

Diego was an exceptional guide!!! We learned so much about the history, art and archrecture of San Miguel de Allende as well as Mexico! This was a great way to start our visit to SMA! Highly highly recommend!!

Our guide,Diego,was fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable and so personable. We all enjoyed the history lessons of the architecture and the people of the region.

There was a little more walking than anticipated, but Diego was very solicitous of our mother’s pace always lending an arm on stairs. His knowledge of Atotontilco was quite impressive!

Our guide Diego was a huge help with the 2 senior ladies traveling with me. He was accommodating and kind. Gave us just enough information and kept us engaged and interested in the tour. He gave the elders extra attention and was very polite.

We booked the tour wanting a more personalized experience . We were picked up at our hotel by Angie , our guide , and the driver. The car was a suv and very comfy and they both always opened the doors , extra nice! She was even early , we didn’t have to wait. We both loved Angie and would recommend her . Very knowledgeable and we were able to have fun and kid around also . Will definitely recommend ! Steve & Jeff , San Antonio , Texas

Great experience! Very knowledgeable guide who tailored the tour to our interests and our level. We appreciated having a dedicated driver - it made the whole experience smoother and freed up the guide to provide more information and commentary rather than needing to be focused on driving instead.

We had a wonderful day! Leo was our guide and he was fantastic!! I would recommend doing this tour on your first day as an introduction to the beautiful city. Defintiely worth going out to the Sanctuario Atotonilco to see this most beautiful chapel!

Got to see a lot of the city and the environs along with a history lesson. Guide was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. I would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing private tour that helped us tick off bucket list items in SMA. Leo is an expert guide and Israel is an amazing driver. I don’t typically leave reviews, but wanted to share that this is well worth it.

Our tour guide Aaron was very informative and so nice! We really enjoyed our experience getting to know San Miguel de Allende.

We did the driving tour with Luis, and he was so much better than we expected. We saw and learned so much. It was so nice to focus on our interests and spend time at our choice. We also got many recommendations for after our tour. I will contact him when I return.

Transportation was superior. Guide was VERY knowledgable & accommodating. However, the few hours allowed was not enough time to see all the things of interest. Could have spent at least 1-2 hours more.

Leo our guide was excellent! Was a complete tour of the city. This feedback area is too demanding. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Our guide, Leo was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We thouroughly enjoyed him showing us around San Miguel and are proving his contact information to friends who are visiting in January.

My daughter and I enjoyed a most wonderful tour of SMA with our guide Diego. The tour was very informative and we learned so much about the history of San Miguel de Allende and Mexico. We very highly recommend this tour. It made our stay in SMA so much more enjoyable!

Diego was a wonderful, accommodating, and extremely knowledgeable. He called me the night before to see if we had any special requests. The service continued the day of the tour and we cannot say enough how we enjoyed our tour. We highly recommend this tour.

A wonderful day filled with new discoveries. Our first trip to San Miguel. Luis our guide is delightful. Very knowledgeable. The perfect start to learning about beautiful San Miguel de Allende. So glad we booked our tour.

Jimena did a great job showing us the outskirts of San Miguel de Allende and gave us a lot of interesting history. We spent hardly any time in the city itself. That was a disappointment.

I took the private San Miguel de Allende Driving Tour. Catrina Tours was very easy to work with when booking the tour (at that time they preferred that I book and pay through Viator). After booking they sent me an email confirming the tour and letting us know that because it was a private tour, we could alter the tour to fit our needs. But the tour was perfect as it was provided, with no modifications needed. The provided guide was Luis and the driver was Brandon. Luis was very knowledgeable, friendly and spoke good English. Brandon was an efficient and safe driver. See the San Miguel de Allende Driving Tour for my review of that specific tour. I would use Catrina Tours again.

I wanted to find a tour to the Santuario de Atotonilco from San Miguel de Allende, so this was perfect. I thought that the driving tour around San Miguel would be a good intro and we could then later visit on our own the drive-by sites. We were pleasantly surprised to actually get out of the car to visit on-foot the primary sites in SMA. We made stops at the Mirador for views of the city, the Mercado de Artesanias where our guide showed us various special artist's booths explaining their art and artifacts (no pressure to buy anything but allowed time if we wished) and the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcangel where we saw the interior and also the Jardin across the way. We were driven around the Parque Benito Juarez and around a few neighborhoods, one having fantastic murals. Our Guide Luiz was very informative and friendly, always giving us opportunities to ask questions. He gave us information on the history of the area and descriptions of the sites we were seeing. Our Driver Brandon was efficient and careful. We felt very safe in his care. He pulled over to let us out close to the sites we were seeing (no parking close) and would be there to pick us up when we were done visiting the sites. We can highly recommend this Viator option, provided by Catrina Tours and hosted by Luiz and Brandon. P.S. Catrina Tours prefers you book thru Viator rather than the directly. Also, being a private tour, Catrina offered us opportunities to modify or add to the tour, as needed. But what they gave us was perfect with no modifications required.

Great tour with a local guide who happened to grow up on the street our Airbnb was on. Lots of good information on the history of San Miguel de Allende from precolonial to modern times. Bonus-he dropped us off at a wonderful local restaurant where we had lunch after the tour.

A very good tour from the #1 rated walking tour company in San Miguel, but much better than a walking tour. San Miguel is very hilly, and so you can't see as much when walking. The tour lasted about 3 hrs. 40 min, and I would like to have seen the church that is considered to be the Sistine Chapel of the New World. Diego, the owner, was our guide. Very informative and excellent english. Make sure you let him know all that you want to see.

This was an excellent way to see the most of this city which is very hilly. A walking tour basically takes you just through the Centro which can be seen by the trolly for $5 USD per person. Our guide was the owner, Diego Abud, who was English speaking and very knowledgeable about the history of the City and the country of Mexico, and provided a very informative tour. I would recommend taking the tour early in your stay to orient you to the City.

Diego was an endless reservoir of information. Our tour went long because we asked so many questions. I’ve been to all seven continents and over 80 countries, and this was as good a tour with such a knowledgeable tour guide as I’ve experienced. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get to know San Miguel de Allende.
