What people are saying about San Miguel de Allende

This tour was the highlight of our trip to San Miguel de Allende. our guides (Nicolas, Layo and one other young man whose name I can't recall) were very professional and took very good care of us. They provided thorough training at the beginning and assisted us throughout the tour. The horseback ride through the cobblestone streets with the city lights all around was unforgettable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone regardless of whether you have ridden before or not. And the authentic cantinas were well chosen and provided a wide variety of atmospheres. We had no favorites as all were unique experiences. I will do this tour agasin when in San Miguel de Allende again.

The most amazing experience. Everyone was very friendly and made us feel extremely safe. June spent time explaining tips for riding (we are beginners and felt comfortable). The cowboys made you feel safe throughout the ride. The horses were very calm-mannered. If you’re considering adding an experience, we recommend adding the rappelling! The lunch at the end of the ride was absolutely delicious. We would recommend this experience to anyone and would book again next time we visit!

It was magical and a completely different way of seeing San Miguel, even if you saw sights you had seen before. My tour guide was amazing and the horses are not scared of a thing. I would completely recommend it!

The ride was spectacular! The scenery is gorgeous and the guides were very helpful. The lunch was delicious as well. I highly recommend but you should be comfortable on a horse. It is not a “laid back” ride.

Very unique experience in beautiful authentic “rural” Mexican landscape!
