Perfect amount of time to get grounded in San Miguel - Marimar , our guide , was very knowledgable and catered to all of our needs and questions. We had a very enjoyable tour of San Miguel. She followed up with some additional sightseeing suggestions. A 2 hour tour was the perfect amount of time to get to know the city.

Merged with a different guide. Beware if booking for this tour guide - We were shuffled off this tour and provided with one by another guide with a different company. We almost missed it due to late notification via text message. The tour we did was good and covered the main points this one would have. The recommendations by that guide ended up sending us on a goose chase. This tour included water while the one we were on did not. Im sure the actual tours by this guide are wonderful, but we didnt have that experience to rate it.

Tour guide didn’t show up - I am now sitting at the meeting point for my tour and the Tour Guide did not show up. After another tour guide contacted her she finally sent me a text ten minutes after the tour was supposed to have started, saying she was sick. She can’t be that sick as she offered to do the tour tomorrow. My only day to take this tour and I don’t get a tour, even though I booked five weeks in advance. Not reliable.
