Wonderful tour of local art - Luis took us on an inspiring and thoughtful tour that included local craftsmen and artists studios. We were especially excited to visit the workshop of the makers of large puppets or Mojigangas. Luis was informative and personable. We would highly recommend this tour!

Worth another visit to SMA - Lots of expats. Friendly people and no crime. Great food and nightly music in the square. Took "Ban Bajio" from city to QRO airport. Totally safe even at night.$30 per head.

Very mixed experience - The guide was friendly and energetic. I felt his knowledge and appreciation of art was limited. SMA may be a difficult place to design a good art tour.
