Exceptional tour. If you love to learn the history and culture of a place so that you understand the significance and background of every thing you see, Joseph is your man. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about San Miguel Allende. He gave me a depth of understanding about the town that made me appreciate and love it even more. He answered all of my questions and inspired my curiosity and love of learning. I was sad when the tour came to an end!

San Miguel Walking Tour As with all of my travel, I highly suggest hiring a guide and doing a walking tour on the first day of your trip. Once everyone arrived, we hired Joseph Toone who has also written many books about San Miguel. In fact, this book was part of my Christmas gift to all the couples. He did a fabulous 2 hour walking tour to introduce us to San Miguel’s history, culture and many churches. He has numerous tours, which you can find on his website. There is so much to do and see in San MIguel that it will take several trips to do it all. Joseph has lived in San Miguel for many years and knows the ins and outs of the city.We highly recommend booking with him.

The best cemetary tour! Great tour! The living have much to teach the dead. This cemetary is off the beaten track of tours. And the tour guide was so literate and knew so much about current and past. We were enthralled.

Great tour! This was my second "History and Cultural" tour with Joseph in San Miguel de Allende. This time was with my family including my YA daughters. We appreciated learning more about the origination of the city and its influences, especially as it related to the churches we visited. Joseph has a wealth of knowledge and shares his love of stories and history. Children and adults would enjoy this tour.

Wonderful history tour of San Miguel James was knowledgeable and an amazing storyteller. He was fun and gave a great history of the local area and insight into many of the local treasures. He was personable and spending time with him was a pleasure and very interesting and informative. Do not hesitate to book with James.

A must walking tour We are locals from SMA and we had the opportunity to know this amazing person, he is not only a good storyteller but he is also and artist, he has a lot of knowledge that we did not know about our own culture, he is not like a robot (like other tourist guides), he does anything to you enjoy all the tour!! I highly recommend this tour, if you are a foreigner or Mexican you will love it ☺️And his books by him which you can find them in Amazon. Isabel and Jaime 😊

Excellent tour I’d highly recommend Joseph’s ‘History and Culture tour’; he provided an extremely interesting historical insight into San Miguel de Allende’s religious roots and iconic churches, and the resultant impact on the city’s identity. We were fortunate to be the only people on the tour, so book now while group numbers are still low post-pandemic!

A great tour experience! Highly recommend a tour with Joseph. We took the history and culture walking tour.In two and a half hours, Joseph was able to put so much of what you see (or never notice) in perspective. This is my second trip to SMA and now I will look at it this beautiful city with new appreciation.

We learned so much! My husband and I were in San Miguel for only a couple of days and we wanted to get as much out of our short trip as possible. The tours with Joseph were incredible! He was so informative and had such a lovely personality. We learned so much and really enjoyed our time exploring the city with him. I highly recommend any of his tours. We did the History and the cemetery tour with him and loved both of them!
