Came here for business... - Came here for business without any knowledge of the area. I had a few hours free on my last day and found this tour from a quick Google search. I am so glad I signed up for the walking tour. Miguel is friendly, personable, and very knowledgeable. His passion for the people and history of San Luis Potosi are infectious. I finished the tour with a new appreciation and interest for the city. Miguel explained not only the historical aspects but also cultural significance of the city. We visited beautiful and fascinating locations I would never have known existed otherwise. I highly recommend this tour and can't wait to come back for the other tours he offers.

Don’t miss this tour! - I have done many walking tours in my years of travel and this pedestrian tour with Miguel Gallaraga Robledo was by far the best. Miguel was so very knowledgeable about the city’s landmarks and his country’s history. I must come back soon and with more time to spend in this beautiful city

Go with Miguel! - We had an English speaking guide, Miguel. He was very knowledgeable, engaging and really funny. We had already been in SLP for a few days and saw some of the same sites on our own but his knowledge of the city's history really tied everything together. Highly recommend Miguel ❤️👍
