We choose the private tour so we could be at our own pace. This tour was perfect for us. It was great getting to see highlights of 2 historical cities. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history and suggested a nice local restaurant for lunch. Highly recommend.
Aaron Trejo was superb! He didn't only have the knowledge of the information I needed, he also treated me like an old friend. He was fun to be around the 8+ hours the tour lasted. I recommend him to anyone who really wants to learn about Santiago de Querétaro, or San Miguel de Allende, or both.
Thank you very much for your comments and rating, is very well appreciated. I had a great time with you.
Aaron took us on two separate tours of the historic center of Queretaro several months apart. His English is excellent and on both occasions we found him to be a very knowledgeable and interesting guide. He is clearly passionate about the history, culture, architecture, and art of the region, and was happy to answer all of our questions. He was also very flexible and able to tailor the tour to our interests and needs--on one tour I had my elderly mother and he was sensitive to her limitations. He drove us to see the aqueduct and answered several follow-up questions that I had via WhatsApp. I would highly recommend Aaron as a tour guide for either Queretaro or San Miguel. Thanks, Aaron!
Thank you very much for your comments and rating! I hope to see you again.
