Step by Step

Visit a famous town in the Mexican state of Guanajuato with this day trip to San Miguel de Allende from Mexico City. With a professional guide and in small groups of around 15 people, climb aboard a comfortable minibus and enjoy the beautiful views of the Mexican countryside. Explore this colonial city with your guide during a walking tour and let yourself be carried away by its rich history and beautiful baroque architecture. Shop for handicrafts at a market, hike up to a lookout point and enjoy some free time to yourself .

During the minibus ride, which takes about 4 hours each way, you'll see the heart of Mexico City and some of its monuments, as well as views of the country's countryside. Upon arrival in this colonial Mexican city, a World Heritage Site, you will enjoy a one-and-a-half hour walking tour of the old town.

You will see the symbolic parish church of San Miguel Arcangel with its pinnacles and neo-Gothic structure, and admire the imposing Spanish Baroque façade of the church of San Francisco . With your guide and your group, you will climb to the top of the populated area and from this popular viewpoint of San Miguel de Allende you will be able to see the city and its beautiful landmarks.

Along this historical tour you will see the former home of Ignacio Allende, military man and one of the most notorious heroes during the Mexican War of Independence. Learn all about the history of Mexico during this time and head to the Civic Square to see his equestrian statue that dominates the entire square. During this tour you'll also pass through beautifully landscaped plazas and pretty parks surrounded by flowers and paths.

Walk through this historic colonial quarter and then visit the Mercado de Artesanías. Here you can buy silver jewellery, hand-embroidered shawls, ceramics and, above all, typical handicrafts made of papier-mâché, metals and blown glass.

After the guided tour and before returning to Mexico City, you will have free time to stroll through the streets and also to have lunch on your own in one of the famous restaurants or local markets.

    The city itself is excellent and our guide was good with the walking tour before we set off on our own to explore.

    It is important to take into account that the trip is long, there is a lot of walking and you can see many places for great photos.
