Did two tours with Aaron in Queretaro, the city walking tour and the wine and cheese tours. His english is excellent and his knowledge of the region and its history wonderful. He regaled us with stories of the history of the region, but was also a wealth of knowledge of the businesses and economic engines of the region. He drove us for the wine tour in his newish Nissan. He is a careful solid driver and we felt comfortable the whole day. We especially enjoyed the town of Bernal and the Freixenet winery. We felt very well cared for the entire time with Aaron. Would strongly recommend him and his tours and plan to come back one day to further explore the region.

Spent 2 days with David and am happy to recommend David and Annamaria, without hesitation, for whatever kind of tour you would like, in or around Queretaro. For example, we had an exceptional day visiting the monolith near Bernal; followed by a lovely time in the town itself; including a couple of fascinating extra touches; and topped off with wonderful lunch at a picture perfect hacienda. Annamaria & David will go out of their way to see that you have a great experience in Queretaro. Bob

Dora was an excellent and accommodating guide. She was aware of the aspects that we would find most interesting and was obviously very familiar with the area and navigating the site and the staff who were at the site. We enjoyed Dora's guiding so much, we asked her to take us somewhere else the next day!

Jesus is top notch! Couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable and professional guide. Grateful that his English is impeccable, as my Spanish is far from it. He is more like a curator for San Miguel, than a tour guide. I was fortunate to have him as a private guide and he opened my eyes to all the rich history the historic part of San Miguel Allende has to offer.
