Private Day Tour to San Miguel from Guanajuato

Great Way to See the Town of San Miguel de Allende on Limited Time

Mario picked us up promptly and respected our wishes on what we wanted to do on our private tour to San Miguel De Allende. On the way there we stopped at the protective town of San Miguel and the Sanctuary of Jesús Nazareno de Atotonilco which is in the outskirts of town. The fortified town, first established in the 16th century to protect the Royal Route inland, reached its apogee in the 18th century when many of its outstanding religious and civic buildings were built in the style of the Mexican Baroque. Some of these buildings are masterpieces of the style that evolved in the transition from Baroque to neoclassical. It consists of a large church, and several smaller chapels, all decorated with oil paintings by Rodriguez Juárez and mural paintings by Miguel Antonio Martínez de Pocasangre. Because of its location, San Miguel de Allende acted as a melting pot where Spaniards, Creoles and Amerindians exchanged cultural influences while the Sanctuary of Jesús Nazareno de Atotonilco constitutes an exceptional example of the exchange between European and Latin American cultures. Its architecture and interior decoration testify to the influence of Saint Ignacio de Loyola’s doctrine. We then drove to a mirador, a viewing area, of the entire town of San Miguel de Allende. So beautiful. From afar the lovely Parroquia de San Miguel Arcangel stood out. We went down to the church to see it up close. The iconic Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel features a neo-Gothic pink stone facade built between 1880 and 1890. Designed by indigenous stonemason Zeferino Gutiérrez, it replaced the modest 17th-century baroque structure that was originally constructed after the town's founding in 1542. We were given some time to enjoy the plaza nearby with plenty of shopping and food. We then headed back to our hotel in Guanajuato. Great experience!

Small-Group Sunset Walking Tour in San Miguel

An amazing sunset!

What an amazing experience we had on our two-hour walking tour with Jesus! We walked through neighborhoods dating back to the 16th century. We saw breathtaking views of San Miguel de Allende and the mountains beyond. We couldn’t imagine a better way to begin our visit here. Thank you so much.
