Great tour! - This walking tour of Sam Miguel was fantastic!! Our guide was so informative and personable, he made the tour so enjoyable! I learned a lot about the history, culture, and buildings of San Miguel. Our guide added small personal stories and answered all questions. I would recommend this tour for anyone. It covered a lot in a relatively short time.
