Join us for seven nights and six full days as we explore the culturally rich beauty of San Miguel de Allende as the region prepares for and celebrates Dia de los Muertos.

This special tour is scheduled to coincide with the famous Day of the Dead celebrations that take place throughout Mexico October 30th through November 2nd. This tour is created with flexibility in mind, allowing each guest to determine the speed and structure they desire, while providing access to a wide variety of experiences.

All of our tours offer a wide variety of unique experiences while also providing chances for guests to adjust the plans to match their desired speed and intensity.

Read the tour Itinerary summary below for more details.

Throughout the trip we will have the opportunity to dine at a wide variety of extraordinary restaurants (from casual street food to fine dining). While the tour offers many unique scheduled experiences, its casual structure also provides daily opportunities for guests to adjust the plans to match their interests and desired speed and intensity.

IDENTIFICATION ~ A valid passport is required.

ALTITUDE ~ San Miguel de Allende: 6,234 ft

WEATHER ~ Because of its higher altitude, weather and temperatures are moderate year round. Typical daytime temperatures are in the upper 70s and nighttime temperatures around 50f. October and November are traditionally very dry.

ACCOMMODATIONS ~ We stay at Casa Carly, a wonderfully located charming boutique hotel with an authentic San Miguel feel. Each suite is unique and opens up to an extensive courtyard that makes for a great meeting point and wonderful evening happy hours.

PHYSICAL EXERTION ~ Moderate Exertion (2 of 5) – This tour consists of mostly in- town, moderately paced walking on hilly cobblestone streets. Guests with step-tracking devices often find they walk more than 10,000 steps on most days.

The arrival day of the San Miguel de Allende tour adjoins the departure day of the Queretaro tour (25-10-20-MX-QRO), making it easy to do them together and receive an extra night of accommodations at no additional cost. Simply book both tours and we'll take care of combining the packages and reserving your extra night at the hotel.

Troy and Rene thought of every detail and made sure we enjoyed ourselves as we met local artists, experienced the culinary scene and participated in the day of the dead activities. We made new friends that we will definitely see again. ~ Andrew M.

We enjoyed every minute of the tour including seeing the city as it is every day to the build up of the celebration. The tours were informative as well advise on shopping, eating, etc. The visit to the cemetery was moving and special. I would not have known to visit on my own and really appreciated the insight. ~ Danae S.

Mar 2017 •
Troy Campa and Rene Ibarra put together a great six-day exploration of the art, food, music, and brilliant colors of San Miguel. Our small-group tour was fun, educational, reasonably priced, and professionally done. We ate at superb restaurants, met emerging and accomplished artists in private studio tours, saw an exceptional collection of folk art at Galeria Atotonilco, visited shops and markets, made new friends... and much, much more. The tour gave me a feel for life in San Miguel, and spending a week with Troy and Rene was like being with family. ~ Carmen
