Jesus and his driver were informative caring and fun!!! - Although the trip was wonderful with an excellent guide and driver, I had an awful time processing my tour through Viator. We needed to add two participants to the group. I was told, midday, that my reservation would be canceled and a new one set up. It took a lot of hours from my vacation, errors and nashing of teeth. Finally at 9:30 PM...the evening before (a 9am tour) I completed a reservation. The only way I was able to process this was to pay $80 that I DID NOT OWE. I will be in touch with Viator for a refund of $80!!!! I am an angry loyal customer!!!!

The Quality of this Tour Depends on the Guide! - The owner of the company that offers this tour is reputable and will take great pains to correct any problems one might encounter on the tour. The guide on our tour was far below average and I wrote a scathing review, but the owner of the company gave me a full refund and offered to provide another tour with a different guide. Sadly, I was unable to take advantage of the tour because I was no longer in Mexico, but I would not hesitate to book another tour with this company. They went above an beyond to make me happy!

Not Bewitched - After booking this tour I was notified that I would not be picked up at my location as advertised. I was told it was a private tour yet 2 others were booked. They finally agreed to picking me up. I was taken to their tour office where Fernando our tour guide met us. A charming personality was not a trait to be had. Not until we got to Queretaro did Fernando tell us anything but only with us asking questions about the city. There were a few highlights. First was by accident when we visited convento de Santa cruz. A dance troop of Indians was performing. It was amazing but Fernando gave no real information about this special happening. We googled it to get answers. We walked around and saw squares with historical importance. Had lunch at a nice restaurant on our own. Finally went to site where Maximillian had been killed. Tour ended and headed back to San Miguel. Got back hour earlier than advertised. Also was told i would not be returned home as advertised .Fernandos calling is not that of a tour guide. I enjoyed the day mainly because of the 2 others on the tour. Wish I would have been bewitched.
