Great tour for the family
Joseph was a fantastic and knowledgeable tour guide. We took his History and Culture tour which moved through several churches and plazas in the centro of San Miguel. He made the experience accessible to the entire group including my 8 and 10 year old kids.

A Must!
I’m a cultural anthropologist from NYC and found this two-hour tour amazingly fascinating and rich. A wonderful description of indigenous, iconography, and meeting combined with the Catholic traditions of the area!

Walking Tour
Joseph is very personable and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the history of San Miguel by visiting various churches in the central area. Many details and many interesting facts about saints and the intermingling of indigenous peoples, and the Catholic Church in Mexico‘s history.

Highlight of the trip!!
My husband and I had never been to San Miguel and Joseph's tour brought this beautiful city to life for us!! We enjoyed it so much that we booked another tour during the same trip and we were only there for four days!! He is a walking encyclopedia for history, culture, food of San Miguel! I highly recommend that you include his tour in your San Miguel itinerary!

Excellent tour
Joseph Toone's tour was amazing! We all thoroughly enjoyed this tour. To better understand the influencing factors of San Miguel de Allende's beginning and why you see many of the events and festivites that occur, I highly recommend this tour. Mr Toone is a wealth of knowledge and certainly will give you further insight on what has made the town what it is today.

Great tour and an excellent star to our visit to San Miguel de Allende
My wife and I had a wonderful time on Joseph Toone's "History and Culture" tour in San Miguel de Allende this past week! Josehp is an expat from Pennsylvania who has lived in SMA for many years and has immersed himself in the traditions and ways of life there. He is very knowledgeable about the area's rich culture, it religious impact and history and expresses this knowledge quite eloquently. The tour opened our eyes in a number of ways and was a fantastic way to star our 5-day visit. We highly recommend this tour!

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.
