Very tasty though. Other than that, everything was very enjoyable. Sarah Johnson”
Review of the San Miguel de Allende day trip from Mexico City, with colonial streets, artisan markets, guide insights, timing, costs, and practical tips.

“Go horseback riding and enjoy a window into a vanishing way of life in Mexico on this ranch which has been in the family for 70 years. We do this for fun and a change of pace from city life, but the trails we cover were once the only way for this family to get provisions, go to church or visit a novia. A cobblestone road has paved the way for vehicles to replace the work that horses and donkeys used to do. You will be chauffeured from your pick up location in San Miguel and back home again after the adventure. Once you pay, Viator will provide you with…”

“We were picked from our home on time and driven to the ranch. The horses are healthy and well cared for, unlike some of the pathetic horses I have seen in other destinations. There was one cowboy (vaquero) to assist every two riders, making this a very safe ride. We were given an orientation on how to manage the horses and off we went on a walk through 12,000 private acres of arid landscape and also through creeks. We did a rest stop half way through the 3 hour ride on a high ridge with an amazing view. On the return, our group split up for a time so that…”
