Great introduction to the SMA art scene—and more! - Elisa did a great job of explaining the foods and crafts at the market, with a lot of insights into everyday life in San Miguel for the people who live there. She is clearly very knowledgeable about local history. I especially appreciated her tip about the Art Walk happening at the Fabrica Aurora later that night—I would never have found out about it myself, and it was a fun event to connect with the wider art community in SMA.

Do this tour on your first day! - We loved our tour with Elisa! She incorporated so much history into the tour and the snacks were so tasty. Her perspective as a San Miguel de Allende local was so special. She showed us several places we returned to later to shop and gave us recommendations for the rest of our stay.
