“A Day Well Spent - Our trip began in a very timely and friendly fashion in San Miguel. We were a group of 8 and our van was very comfortable. But the most important aspect of the trip was our guide, Fernando. He was incredibly knowledgeable, well spoken and personable. Without him our trip to Guanajuato would have been very two dimensional. It was a wonderful very full day excursion.” (Reviewed at: 2025-01-26)
