One might say that I practically grew up in San Miguel Allende. It is where I learned to speak Spanish in my youth. My mother was an artist and every waking moment that I wasn't in school in Arizona, we were here! She painted and I studied Spanish at the Instituto Allende. We lived among the locals and submerged ourselves in the culture. I have seen the town grow. Progress changes everything yet San Miguel and its people have managed to preserve the essence of this treasure of a town. I have yet to meet a single person who once they have visited, hasn't returned. let me show you some of the not so well known places that still exist as they did 50 years ago, a different side of San Miguel. It's hidden treasures if you will. Thank You for taking the time to read this and regardless of where your travels take you, Happy Trails To You Betty L. Certification from University of Arizona's Summer Institute for Court Interpreting under the instruction of Dr. Rosanne Gonzalez 1992 Certification from Alameda Counties legal language Access Program 2001 Certified TESL/TEFL/ESL Oxford Seminars 2013 I learned to speak Spanish here, my friends and family are here, I volunteer in the rural San Miguel Viejo ( original San Miguel) I can show you much more than you hoped for! I am not a licensed historical guide. If you are looking for strictly a historical guide, I am happy to direct you to the city's own historical tour.

Overview of your San Miguel De Allende tour

This is a shorter tour yet will still give you the feel of the magic with a great overview and history. I love to share some of the not so well-known places also. I can bring a different perspective to the tour as I lived here as a child and now as an adult. It may be shorter, but you won't feel rushed.

Betty, our tour guide, was beyond knowledgeable and accommodating. Her knowledge of the San Miguel area and its history was beyond extensive. Our party of four San Miguel tourists thoroughly enjoyed this tour and we will definitely use Betty over and over again. Should you choose to be led on a city tour by Betty, you will not be disappointed and you will leave with a greater understanding of the city and it’s surroundings. Also, Betty provided us with a map and education about how to spend the rest of our time San Miguel. Highly recommend this tour guide.

Betty Lopez was the perfect tour guide! She was very communicative before our tour, she was on time, she was respectful of my disability, she was full of enthusiasm and a joy to be with! She took us to places we'd never have known of--such as the bull ring! She even help us after our tour. She arranged a driver for us to go to the "sistine chapel". I wish there were more tour guides as delightful as Betty!

Betty was the most knowledgeable and friendly guide I have experienced in a very very long time. She was so flexible and accommodated all of our requests. Since she lives in San Miguel and has for quite some time she is capable of delivering a personable and well versed tour full of history, stories and little known facts of the historic town. Betty was fabulous with recommendations for all things San Miguel, would highly recommend her as your go to when visiting this magical place. Thanks again Betty for a SPECTACULAR day!!! Stephnie

Betty was fabulous! She has lived in the area for years and knew all of the history of the buildings and area. Pointed out good restaurants, shops and places for us to spend more time. She was the perfect introduction to San Miquel… ❤️

Betty was fabulous! It was very refreshing to have a guide that was so enthusiastic and caring for the community she lives and works in. Her knowledge of the city, its history and the artists who lived and worked there is quite impressive. She took us behind many closed doors that we never would have gotten to see without her. She was also a wealth of suggestions for the remainder of our stay including restaurants and other sites to explore. Cindy and Ron
