Private BJX to San Miguel de Allende transfer with name-sign pickup, A/C ride, and flight-timed service for $50.
“Great driver and a large SUV (Suburban). There were only four passengers. I elected to sit in row behind front row. Have to say it was an uncomfortable trip. Front row had this huge legroom area in front of them, maybe two feet. Yay! I had no more than 12 inches of space, if that, to move my legs. Why? This large vehicle, and second row passengers were very restricted. Will never want to pay that premium price again for such an uncomfortable ride. Sorry.”
Horseback through the Guanajuato Mountains with live music, bilingual cowboys, and a homemade buffet with mountain views in about 4.5 hours.
“From the moment we stepped foot in the car to take us to the ranch to the moment we left, everything was a wonderful experience. Edwardo and Dafne made the ride to the ranch an experience with information every step of the way. Racine and Sacbe led us on an amazing journey through the mountains of Cubelete, Sacbe serenading us along the way. Our horses Remy and Jorge were gentle giants and perfect for my husband and I. Their dogs Gringo and Frijolito were awesome guards from the desert creatures. The food from Maria’s was wonderful and some of the best we’ve had the entire trip! We’d love to do…”
Guanajuato mummies and a silver mine, plus the Inquisition Museum and tunnels, ending at Mercado Hidalgo in 4 hours.
“I liked the mummies, the mines and the last panoramic view of Guanajuato.”
Shared tour from Guanajuato to Dolores Hidalgo, Atotonilco and San Miguel de Allende, with guided independence history and 1 hour in town.
“The tour is very comprehensive and very good, except that we had to wait at the agreed meeting point.”

A guided 4.5-hour hike from Guanajuato through old streets and up toward the hills for mining-town views, private and in English.
“We were looking for a way to break up our one-week stay in the town of Guanajuato, something different and hopefully giving us a little broader window into the region and the history. Views were pretty amazing.”
Private 5-hour Guanajuato day trip for up to 4 with a specialist guide, 8 iconic stops: Pipila, tunnels, mine, Inquisition, Mummies.
“Mario was super professional. My children (9 & 15) were a bit anxious about completing the tour in Spanish, but Mario spoke clearly and eloquently. My only complaint would be that the tour indicated we would visit a Baroque church - when I inquired about this omission, he explained that this was closed to tour groups on Sundays - this was not indicated on the description. Other than that - it was a great way to see the city. After learning so much, I wish we were staying an extra day.”
Private Guanajuato terrace-bar walk with English guide, 3 city-view stops, and three complimentary signature mixology drinks in 1 hr 45 min.
“My guide Bere really knew about her city. She took me through the underground areas! A must do if you're a first timer to the City. Opt for the morning too, it gets REALLY hot.”
Guided hike in Sierra de Santa Rosa from Guanajuato City, private group, English options, binoculars, field guides, and valley views.
“I highly recommend "Hiking with Antonio" as a way to see some of the countryside outside of Guanajuato City. Antonia is fluent in Spanish and English. His career was spent in the local silver mining business. He's an excellent driver on the curvy roads :-) And, he's a superb guide on the hiking trails. He both offered information, and was glad to answer any questions, I posed about the area's history, culture, customs, flora and fauna. You won't regret spending part of a day with Antonio to explore outside of the city!!”
A private 4.5-hour horseback ride in Guanajuato with pickup, an English guide, scenic village stops, and free admission at the first stop.
“Everything went smoothly. Raul, who drove us to the ranch, was right on time. Cruz, our guide for the horses, gave us the instructions and we were off. We enjoyed riding through the small village and the countryside. The views of Guanajuato are spectacular. Cruz has worked the horses himself and they are sure footed and seemed to be healthy. None of us are regular horse riders. So glad we decided to go on this equestrian adventure.”
Pick the day out first, then the town it happens in.
