A worthwhile day trip from Guanajuato

Published on Dec, 2024

Alejandro was a good guide. The arrangements went smoothly and the ride was comfortable. We were staying in Guanajuato and we wanted to see San Miguel de Allende. This tour was a good way to do that. A couple of the stops were not exactly what we would have chosen, specifically the tomb and house of José Alfredo Jimenez, but those are apparently highlights of Dolores Hidalgo. For us, the best part of the visit to Dolores Hidalgo was the stop at the artisan market where we bought some lovely ceramics. The tour includes 2 hours of free time to wander around San Miguel de Allende. It’s worth seeing and that amount of time was just right. Overall, a worthwhile day trip from Guanajuato.

Guanajuatos Rich history and story
