Excellent introduction to SMA - My friend and I had a great tour with Jesús! He's a San Miguel native and his family has lived in the city for generations, so it was cool to hear his perspective. He was super informative and answered all our questions. We did it on our first day in the city and it was a great way to orient ourselves

SMA in a nutshell - We had an enjoyable time on our tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and proud of SMA. We learned about the city and its heroes. We could have skipped the part at city hall. Overall, it was worth it.

Inaccurate Meeting Place Instructions - If you say a trip will meet at a certain location, for Pete's sake, meet at that location, not at the nearest corner and across the street! Lucky for me they waited 10 minutes while I sent a message and waited for a reply.
