The Quality of this Tour Depends on the Guide!
The owner of the company that offers this tour is reputable and will take great pains to correct any problems one might encounter on the tour. The guide on our tour was far below average and I wrote a scathing review, but the owner of the company gave me a full refund and offered to provide another tour with a different guide. Sadly, I was unable to take advantage of the tour because I was no longer in Mexico, but I would not hesitate to book another tour with this company. They went above an beyond to make me happy!
Response from the operator: Hola Linda Thank you so much for taking the time to update your review and for your kind words regarding our commitment to service. As we mentioned before, your experience as a fellow professional in the travel industry is very important to us. While we were deeply saddened that the initial tour didn't meet our standards, we are very happy that we could reach a resolution that left you satisfied. We are constantly working to ensure that our team represents the best of San Miguel de Allende, and your feedback was the catalyst for the positive changes we’ve made recently. We truly missed the opportunity to show you the "magic" on a second tour this time, but please know that you have a friend and a reliable tour company waiting for you whenever you decide to return to Mexico. Safe travels, Jesus Rodríguez

Not Bewitched
After booking this tour I was notified that I would not be picked up at my location as advertised. I was told it was a private tour yet 2 others were booked. They finally agreed to picking me up. I was taken to their tour office where Fernando our tour guide met us. A charming personality was not a trait to be had. Not until we got to Queretaro did Fernando tell us anything but only with us asking questions about the city. There were a few highlights. First was by accident when we visited convento de Santa cruz. A dance troop of Indians was performing. It was amazing but Fernando gave no real information about this special happening. We googled it to get answers. We walked around and saw squares with historical importance. Had lunch at a nice restaurant on our own. Finally went to site where Maximillian had been killed. Tour ended and headed back to San Miguel. Got back hour earlier than advertised. Also was told i would not be returned home as advertised .Fernandos calling is not that of a tour guide. I enjoyed the day mainly because of the 2 others on the tour. Wish I would have been bewitched.
Response from the operator: Hi Anne Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us maintain the high standards we strive for in San Miguel de Allende. I would like to start by clarifying a very important point regarding your booking. We checked our records and the platform where you booked clearly lists this as a "Shared Group Tour." We never intend to mislead our guests; the shared nature of the tour is specified in the description to keep our prices accessible for everyone. Regarding the transportation, although shared tours typically have a central meeting point, we agreed to pick you up as a special courtesy to make your day easier. However, we are very sorry that the service provided by the guide did not live up to the "magic" we promise. We agree that a guide should be a storyteller, not just a driver. Hearing that you had to use Google to learn about the dancers at Santa Cruz is not acceptable to us. Because we take these reports very seriously, we want to inform you that Mr. Fernando is no longer working with our company. Your experience, along with another report from the same day, led us to take immediate action to ensure our guests are always "bewitched" by our culture, as they should be. We would love to make this right. Please contact us directly so we can discuss how to compensate you for the lack of enthusiasm and the early return. We want you to leave Mexico with the amazing experience you expected. Best regards,

Tour canceled at the last minute
Did not go. The tour was canceled at the last minute. Less than 24 hours before. We had to scramble to find another tour on the same day.
Response from the operator: Hello Gary, Thank you for your review so, it is important to clarify tell few points. The cancellation was not made at the last minute; you were informed long time in advance. As clearly stated in the tour description, a minimum of two participants is required for the experience runs. Since you were the only passenger, you should have been aware that, without additional reservations, the tour could not proceed. We kindly ask you to carefully read the full description of the products before doing a booking, as misunderstandings like this can negatively impact small local businesses. Thank you, Gary, and we hope you enjoy your time in Mexico.

Bewitched with our tour to Queretaro: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Miguel de Allende.
How much does Bewitched with our tour to Queretaro cost?
+
Prices start at $120 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Miguel de Allende usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bewitched with our tour to Queretaro take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Miguel de Allende is not rushed.
Is Bewitched with our tour to Queretaro worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Miguel de Allende, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bewitched with our tour to Queretaro?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bewitched with our tour to Queretaro suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bewitched with our tour to Queretaro?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Miguel de Allende can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Miguel de Allende and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bewitched with our tour to Queretaro start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Miguel de Allende within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in San Miguel de Allende?
+
On Outty we rank every San Miguel de Allende experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Historical and Cultural Walking Tour of San Miguel de Allende, Tacos and Tequila Walking Tour with Taste of Miguel, Original Downtown Food Tour with Taste of San Miguel. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit San Miguel de Allende?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in San Miguel de Allende?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
