About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- I3233MUpaulf0 contributionsWonderful journeyDaniel was very prompt, courteous and professional. Our ride was absolutely wonderful. You have to remember you are driving through where people live and there needs to be some way of knowing how much we have.Written June 16, 2024
- jmorgan26080 contributionsGreat transferOur transfer was excellent. Great communication with our driver Fabrisio; Our meeting point and what he was wearing so we could easily identify him. Would highly recommend. He also provided us with some good touristy information.Written March 4, 2024
- Companion380043764730 contributionsCancels without warning!DO NOT USE TEBJX, They did not show up to pick up a family of 4 with children for a transfer from BJX to San Miguel de Allende without any explanation. And when calling them to reconfirm the return, nobody answered the phone after many attempts! Very bad business practice!Written February 12, 2024
- francisc0hernandezr0 contributionsSilver Wheels to your door.since 2018, Letty and Sergio with Viajes San Miguel and Silver Wheels have made sure I got to visit dad every month and since he passed, twice a month. never a missed pick up, mechanical failure.Written November 28, 2023
- 384ramiros0 contributionsA super Tour guide.I hesitated to review our trip because I've forgotten our tour guide's name. But he was courteous and helpful above and beyond. Views and places visited are either things I allways wanted to do or thing's I didn't know I wanted to do. As a Mexican, the house and tomb of JA Jimenez is a must do, the historic value of Dolores, and the amazing views of San Miguel de Allende are memories to be cherised.Written July 31, 2023
- Shaynatj0 contributionsHistory, scenery and good wine!My husband and I had a great time on the wine tour! Our guide, Fabricio, was excellent! He was very polite and attentive and his driving was excellent. He spoke great English and taught us all about the history of the area. The itinerary was a perfect mix of history, scenery and good food. We opted to upgrade to the tour that included both winery's and are glad we did! Both winery's were beautiful, but we especially liked the first one with the cheese plate pairing. Our total tour time ended up being 11 hours, which was a long day, but with plenty of rest and food stops it was a perfect way to spend the day!Written January 28, 2023
- 528atih0 contributionsFelt like we were kidnapped !We are American citizens, and traveled to San Miguel de Allende and were looking for a transportation service from the airport to the city. Granted we used violator for our trip, and this company was completely unprofessional from the start. When we finally got things settled and were picked up from the airport, it was a random car with a random young man in it. When we asked him who he was, he claimed he was with this company and was a friend helping out. I was absolutely mortified, thinking that we were being kidnapped. I had no way of knowing who the kid was. Eventually, we got to the hotel, and on our return we were randomly canceled. I have advised by Viator to remove this company, but I would like for you guys to know to not use them as well. They are unprofessional and scary as far as I’m concernedWritten December 20, 2022
- Mariaenher19730 contributionsGreat guide & Awesome Tour!Fabri was the tour guide. He was super informative and friendly! This was a full day tour and he kept us engaged the entire day! I had my elderly mom with me who has trouble walking sometimes and he helped her in and out of the car. He would drop us right in front of the museums or churches so she would not need to walk. He would run and get the car for her as well. We had taken a taxi to Guanajuato from San Pancho an hour away. After the tour he drove us directly to the hotel in San Pancho so we wouldn't need to wait on a taxi. When I return I will definitely be using this service again. Excellent work!Written November 14, 2022
- Celia P0 contributionsSeemless rideFabricó got us to our destination to Guanajuato City. Some of us even napped. He also called the hotel so make sure someone was waiting for us.Written October 17, 2022
- U2564AFfrankiec0 contributionsOmar was AMAZING!Fantastic! We stayed in communication with our driver before both of our pick up times. When we arrived Omar was waiting for us ready to go. We felt safe the whole drive. Definitely will be using this company every time we travel back to San Miguel!Written October 7, 2022
- ChinaFanNYC0 contributionsGreat driver; frustrating booking experienceFabrizio was an excellent, friendly and informative driver. However I had real issues with booking this via Viator/TripAdvisor: NO WHERE was there a space to indicate time of pickup, not whilst booking or in the confirmation. We had to research the company and call ourselves: twice!Written April 10, 2022
- charliewQ6829PW0 contributionsHorribleThe driver did not show up and I had to call an Uber. I will never book anything through TripAdvisorWritten January 16, 2022
- Cind2me0 contributionsJACOB was a wonderful driver and very accommodating with my scheduleJacob, the owner of the company was awesome...I needed transportation between San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato and transportation from Guanajuato to Leon and ultimately the airport for my flight out. So I had 2 separate legs of transportation... wanted to see sights along the way and he was so accommodating. He showed me some wonderful sites between cities and we enjoyed eating at some of the local places. I will definitely remain in contact with Jacob and when I come back to the area I will use his servicesWritten September 1, 2021
- B8900BOmaryl0 contributionstourist trapGot scammed big time. please avoid. especially Transportes Turisticos Linares. they abandoned us outside of town. very bad experienceWritten July 22, 2021
- Melissa_queen0 contributionsReliable TransportLast month I had roundtrip transfer from Leon airport to my hotel in San Miguel de Allende and then back to Airport. I can't say enough good things. Both drivers were there promptly at scheduled time waiting for me. The drive is about 90 minutes through beautiful Mexican landscape. I had wonderful chats with both guys (I am apologize for not remembering name of my first driver! He was great!) Fabrizio was my return trip and same, he made the ride enjoyable. They were both excellent drivers and we talked about many things. They shared so much of their area's history and points of interest, it made me even more enthusiastic about my visit and Mexico in general. I would highly recommend to anyone and will use next time I come back (which I will) :-)Written June 27, 2021

Daniel demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge about the area, blending history, culture, and local anecdotes. What set him apart was his intuitive understanding of our group’s dynamic. We were a bit of a wandering bunch, easily distracted by unexpected sights and detours, yet he remained patient and flexible throughout. He skillfully adapted the itinerary on the go, ensuring we never felt rushed while still covering all the highlights.

Fabricio is a native of Guanajuato and knowledgeable about the town and local history. He came directly to our isolated to AirBnB in San Miguel and drove us just over an hour to his lovely home city. His tour includes a tour of local residence who were naturally mummified (we declined), a visit down into an old silver mine, several historic churches, an explanation and tour of the unique tunnels within the city used now for local traffic, a visit to the Diego Rivera museum, finished by a stroll through the historic old city center and a ride up the funicular railway for a magnificent view of the city. Fabricio was accommodating and a pleasant guide to this charming city.

Our tour guide picked us up on time, he took us to see the sights that we wanted to see. His knowledge of the Rivera Museum and the city history made the tour extra special. He took us to a great local market for an amazing late lunch, another hour of sight seeing then we had a nice drive back to San Miguel.

Fabricio drove a comfortable car, picking my friend and I up in San Miguel de Allende. He was informative about the city of Guanajuato and the surrounding areas as we drove there. He knows the history of Guanajuato and its importance to the nation of Mexico. The stops he chose were fun and interesting, including a place for lunch in the city center’s garden. It’s a long tour and there are lots of stairs, but we’ll worth the effort. He gave us our tour in both English (me) and Spanish (my friend). I highly recommend this tour.

Well I thought Guanajuato was a lot closer to San Miguel de Allende but I was wrong! Lol.. some of us got a bit car sick and the driver was extremely nice and patient. We definitely went at our pace. No rushing us in and out of anywhere. Stopped for us to get off and buy some meds and water. They have a set itinerary but you go at your own pace and can modify any part of it.
Very informative and kept my father entertained! He loves to talk and the driver was his perfect match! Driver definitely went the extra mile by dropping off my parents at their hotel after he dropped us off.
I would definitely book them all over again.

Fabri was an excellent guide, very pleasant, good and safe driving, knows a lot about his city and the area, and adjusted the pace and order of the tour to accommodate our preferences. highly recommend. We were able to visit places that would have been hard to find and access on our own and definitely would not have learned as much.

We had a fantastic tour of Guanajuato with Fabricio! He was very knowledgeable about the culture and history of the city and let us customize the tour based on our preferences. It's a beautiful and interesting city, not to be missed. Fabricio was a safe driver, speaks excellent English, and was fun to spend the day with.

One of the worst tours ever. Driver was not on time, we paid for a van instead got a small car, our guide Kevin spoke limited English. We did not learn about the history of Guanajuato or the important architecture. At one point our guide put us on a funicular and then abandoned us. We paid $260 dollars for a ride to Guanajuato and to walk around. A total scam, and a rip off. I will never use trip advisor again for booking a tour!!

Was expecting a cultural tour, rich in history. Instead it was a $320 USD Uber ride from San Miguel to Guanajuato for 3 people.
Con expectativas de un tour cultural lleno de historia. En vez fue un viaje de uber de $6,400 pesos para 3 personas.
Save your money and most importantly your time.
Ps. Tour operator if you are interested in knowing details about my experience you can contact me directly.

We are not sure if you contracted with us since we do not have such high costs and our guides are local so they know perfectly the history and culture of our city so it is a surprise to read these comments.

The trip started a little frustrating. We were told we were going to be picked up by 10 AM, we waited in the lobby and nobody was showing up. The hotel representative tried calling the number that was on our voucher and the number was disconnected. I tried calling Trip advisory to get some help. All they could say is that they could confirm that the trip was booked. We needed to know if we had somebody coming to pick us up or not because we had already waited for an hour. The representative could not get a hold of the company either. We waited a bit longer and finally decided to call and cancel our trip. As soon as I hung up the phone with the representative, the driver pulled up. And at the same time, I got a call from the tour company saying that the driver they had originally contracted had stomach issues and could not make it so at the last minute they got Fernando. After all this, Fernando gave us the tour that we paid for. It was a wonderful tour wonderful site. He had a lot of knowledge. The actual tour was a great experience and we would totally do it again.
The only complaint we have is that we were not notified earlier that it was going to take longer to pick us up. If we would’ve known this would’ve not been such a nightmare.
