City of Guanajuato
"We had a group of 16 people and two days to visit Guanajuato and San Miguel de Allende. We contacted Chris at Discovery Tours and he built a custom itinerary for us, including airport pickups, outstanding tour of Guanajuato and San Miguel, visit of Atotonilco church and perfect suggestions for lunch both days.
Dali from Discovery Tours knew everything about the area and during the two days there was not a single question they weren't able to answer on the spot. Wonderful experience!" Thomas, San Francisco
