Pascal is the Best!

Dan_M, Apr 2024

Passionate, engaging, and knowledgeable about Mexican and San Miguel history. Pascal is a wonderful singer/guitarist and a great ambassador for music and the local community. Loved meeting several local artists in their galleries. Tour ended at his home with music, stories, tequila, and a home cooked lunch. Recommended!

Pascal was a delightful entertainer and musician who was customized our trip to our needs and wants and was a thoughtful host. He introduced us to various interesting artists and gave us a slice of life of a true renaissance man who lives in a this beautiful Mexican town. He serenaded us with history and music while we enjoyed a delicious home cooked meal and insisted on walking us to the corner to meet our Uber. A delight!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Great meeting you! It was indeed my pleasure to customize the experience for you! Take care and see you soon in San Miguel. All the best!

Great Experience

Leo_G, Apr 2023

Wow! What an incredible experience. Pascal has a great personality and includes everyone in the music and just makes it fun. It is a little awkward at first but becomes really enjoyable. Art walking was just a tad long but overall great experience. Good Job Pascal!

Thanks for your feedback, fantastic meeting you! Hope to see you again in San Miguel! Take care : )

Good Times in San Miguel De Allende - Art, History, Music, and Food

Karen_K, Mar 2023

What a great time. We weren't sure how this might turn out but we were 'wowed' by the experience. Pascal is great! He is very personable, talented, and a genuinely nice guy. We learned a bit of history, viewed interesting art pieces (we were able to speak with several of the artists about their work), were serenaded with great songs, and finished the tour with a wonderful (gastronomic) lunch. It was definitely time well spent and we each were a bit more educated about San Miguel, art, food, and music as a result. Ron Kohl on behalf of Karen, Mike and Linda.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

So, great to meet you guys! I'm delighted that you had a wonderful time! Also your interesting questions and engagement made my day! Hope to see you all again in San Miguel! Be well! : )

We had the most enjoyable day thanks to Pascal, listening to him play his guitar & sing, looking at art, enjoying his colorful stories and seeing beautiful sites. What a great day!

Really unique and great way to spend an afternoon

Jennifer_Y, Apr 2022

Pascal had great stories and we had a great time learning about the artists in Fabrica Aurora and some of the history of the music. He has a great voice and we had our two children with us and they got to participate in the music making.

Traditional music, entertaining source

Wonderful experience of music, story, art, strolling and food.

Pascal is a lovely human being, multi talented and gifted in his art. It was a delight listening to his singing and playing guitar and flute, taking us through the history of Mexico through music and storytelling. We highly recommend this experience. You will be glad you did!

Delightful

Roubina_R, Nov 2021

Pascal was a great guide and a wonderful musician. His Planning, Organizing, coordinating, ability to communicate and direct was good and with ease. We did plenty of activities including art galleries and the artisans market. He also presented San Miguel Allende’s History in an interesting manner and excellent knowledge. He added wonderful songs from the region to spice it up beautifully

Great and unique experience for art and music lovers.

Erick_T, May 2021

This was a very different kind of tour. A very good kind. Its intended for people that love art and music. Pascal is a very knowledgeable person. He talks french, spanish and english and sings in those three languages as well. He appreciate art very well. It was a very special way to start my vacations in SMA. He ended the tour with lunch at a beautiful small and hidden gem of a restaurant. The owners were beautiful people. That was my first lunch in SMA, and to tell you the truth, it was one of my best during the rest of the week in SMA. I strongly recommend this tour.

A perfect day!

elisa_m, Apr 2021

We loved our tour! It was a fun way to see a different part of San Miguel de Allende. Pascal is a very talented musician who knows a lot about the history of all music. We listened to music, saw beautiful art and then capped it off with a delicious meal. What a perfect day!

Great Musical San Miguel Tour

Alberto_V, Mar 2020

This tour is highly entertaining, fun and informative! Jean Paschel is an excellent musical man, very knowledgeable with the city and carries the tour with ease and humor! Almost five hours and came by fast. Lots of walking but with several timely stops where he will be singing with his guitar and invite everyone to participate. The food stops are very good as well, local food and drinks. The artistic shop stops are amazing. This is the only tour we did while in San Miguel and we feel we had the true flavor of the city. We were there for 4 days. This tour enabled us to explore the city on our own as we we felt we had the framework to see the city ourselves after the tour. I highly recommend the tour to everyone! It will not disappoint.

The dream music walk
