Great Art Tour - Enjoyable tour. Our guide was professional, knowledgeable and passionate about art, architecture and history. He was concerned about our comfort and we walked on the shady side of streets and he inquired if we needed to drink water etc. A great way to discover San Miguel.

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.
