party and your luggage requirements. Victor and his team are experienced
Tour Guides who can take you to Guanajuato (about an hour and a half away, it is the birthplace of Diego Rivera and a very interesting Colonial city), to Queretaro (about 45 minutes away and an architecturally beautiful Colonial city with lots of museums, parks,
restaurants, and culture), or to Dolores Hidalgo (forty five minutes by car and the best place to buy pottery). Just let us know when you want to go and we will set up a full day or a half day
tour for you. It is one of our great pleasures here at Casa Quetzal to make your arrival or one of your nights with us very special. To this end, we have a number of Romantic Packages; the essential ingredients to these events are candles and rose petals scattered around your
room. Add to this your choice of chocolates, champagne on ice, a private
dinner, or even a
massage, and the event becomes your very personalized way to add romance to your stay at Casa Quetzal. We want your stay with us to be very relaxing and a time of pampering, so we are pleased to offer in-
suite massages, as well as in-

massage therapists are all well trained and certified and our manicurists are the best in San Miguel de Allende. San Miguel de Allende is the perfect place to come and learn something new. We have discovered and have relationships with all the best teachers and schools, and would love to set up private or group instruction for you; just let us know what you would like to do and how much time you want to spend and we will put together a program for you.
