A full day’s worth of information and adventure in half of a day - We had high expectations for our tour with Catrina Tours, and our guide Diego and driver Brian exceeded them! Diego is entertaining, enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and regaled us with everything from details of Mexican independence (a special interest of my husband’s) to where to find the best carnitas tacos in Dolores Hidalgo to how the Catholic Church shared religious teachings with indigenous people of the area (art!). We enjoyed tasting a variety of ice creams including Michelada, cajeta, cactus berry, and tequila and visited a Talavera factory as well. The tour was a feast for the senses and an exploration of Mexican history and culture. Brian did a great job driving us through some crazy construction and traffic professionally and efficiently. Thanks for such a great experience!

Informative and Lovely Day - I learned so much on this tour, not only because we visited historical sites, but because Diego, the guide, is so knowledgeable and skilled at relating events. We visited the parish church, the parque, a market, and a Talavera tile factory. We ate delicious street carnitas tacos and the ice cream that Delores Hidalgo is famous for making. And, because I was solo and had expressed an Interest in the local wineries, Diego made a stop along the way to Antotilico at a beautiful winery, Santisima Trinidad, where we had a wine tasting and charcuterie, while enjoying watching a black crowned night heron. It was an informative and lovely day!

Simply the best! - Not only was the sightseeing spectacular but our guide Felipe truly made the difference! His knowledge and the way he shared it with us made us feel immersed in the history of Dolores and Atotonilco. They are an awesome team! Very punctual, great communication, professional and friendly. Thank you Felipe and our driver Fernando for transporting us safely. Taking another tour with the Catrina team today to a vineyard :) highly recommend and will definitely use on our next visit! Thank you all!

Leo was a great guide!!! - We enjoyed such a nice day with our guide, Leo!! He was so well spoken and informative and intelligent and friendly!! The vehicle was spacious and comfortable and our driver was professional. Everything was on time, we enjoyed our visit, and lunch (carnitas) was super good!! We will absolutely book another tour with this company when we return, and we will ask for Leo. Thank you for a great day!!!

Do this tour - This was a great tour. It was a half day tour to Dolores and Atontonilco. Diego and his driver picked us up from the Rosewood at 9am. We are a family of four with 2 kids (9 and 7 years old) and we were picked up in a private/clean van. Diego speaks great english and he is very smart especially when it comes to Mexican/Religious history. We went straight to Dolores and he showed us the historical significance of the city. We walked to the mercado where he got us some fresh carnita tacos. The tacos were delicious. After we got some ice cream. The ice cream in Dolores is different since they have the strangest flavors of Ice Creams like avocado, ceviche, bean. Since the tour was private, I asked Diego to skip a few things so we can visit the Jose Alfredo Jimenez house and tomb. He is my favorite mexican singer/songwriter and even if you are not into marachi music, I am confident you have heard some of his music. This was truly the highlight of the trip for me especially his house/museum. After we went to the town of Atotonilco where Diego bought us some sopes/gorditas from a local street vendor. I don't believe food was included in this trip but Diego treated us to tacos, sopes, and ice cream. We visited the church which was amazing. After Diego dropped us off around 3p and the tour was over. Diego is great and I guarantee you will not go wrong with any of his tours. Highly recommend.

Dolores Hidalgo, Atotonilco, and Lavender Fields tour - Our tour with Angie was great! We had a really awesome day and got to see several different and interesting places and sights. The pickup, transportation, and overall coordination were very convenient. Our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and had great insight into the landmarks and Mexican history. They were also very flexible and accommodating of our goals for the tour and time at each area. Getting to sample the local food in Dolores Hidalgo was a highlight as well!

Blessed sanctuary of San Miguel De Allende - Beautiful and exquisite gem of Miguel De Allende Sanctuary of Atotonilco: Mexico’s Sistine Chapel. The hand painted walls and ceiling are breathtaking.

Magical Church - While we enjoyed Dolores, we really enjoyed the small town of Atotonilco and the Sanctuary. It is is one of the oldest churches in Mexico and it is so well maintained. While it is small, the artwork and murals are just outstanding and so impressive.

Go for the history and carnitas! - Beautiful little town with a big history. Our guide, Angie, was awesome! She took us to the best carnitas and ice cream carts in town.

True history of Mexico - An unmissable trip due to so much history that these places have, in addition to their delicious dishes and landscapes.
