I just spent a week in San Miguel de Allende, one of Colonial Mexico's oldest and most charming cities. Having been a travel writer and editor for 10 years, I'm very good at doing research and networking to get the best information about the places I visit. And while I found lots of great things to recommend about San Miguel, I'm only going to share one: Marina von Anrep at SanMiguelConcierge. Whether it's shopping, dining, sightseeing, transportation , entertainment or special requests, Marina knows how to make it happen effortlessly. Her fee is $100 (which covers all phone reservations and communications), plus 20% of the net sightseeing, transportation and miscellaneous services that are conveniently billed through her. She's worth every penny.

Marina is totally the best person to contact. She knows everyone and every nook and cranny in San Miguel. I was there last October and can honestly say that she can enhance your vacation tenfold.

Sounds like "the road less traveled" has been pretty well-trod! LOL
