This is a well-regarded tour in San Miguel, and the proceeds help fund a good cause:
Patronato Pro Niños - Guided Tours
I don't have personal experience with these guys, just found them doing a different search. I also don't know if their tours are in English. You'd think so, since their page has the English option:
Touristic guides Querétaro - Querétaro through the Centuries - Between Colonial houses and Squares Queretaro, México - Aqueduct Route Querétaro - Bernal Magic Town Queretaro, Mexico - Visit the Sierra Gorda, Querétaro - San Miguel, Guanajuato thoroug
There is also a tourist tranvia here in Queretaro, but in Spanish. Likewise in San Miguel. Most weekend evenings here they do the Leyendas De Querétaro, but again, in Spanish.
In Guanajuato, the tour guides will find you. Most speak English, some better than others. There are tourist kiosks around town, one being by the Jardin De Union.

There was a guy who posts on gto.com a excellent expat site offering tours of GTO and as Baldie stated several kiosks around where you can hire guides although some have limited English. I personally would pick up a free map at the Jardin location and go on my own. GTO is small with narrow steep streets, alleys etc. that are best done at one's own pace. Great museums such as Diego Rivera' s boyhood home that includes his portraits of his wife Frieda & his mistress hung side by side, and of course the Infamous Mummies Mueso, kissing alley among many others.

Stewbear, might the site you refer to be gtolist.com? I found it, not the other. An opportunity to visit the area has come up and I'm looking for reasons to take it. So many places, limited funds. Sigh.

You are correct. Old guy's brain fart although my former landlord owns the site.
GTO is a very reasonable priced city with average full breakfast at $3 US and a Fillet minion at the best place in town (Brisas de la Presa) for about $12 US. In fact I spend under $700 US a month total expenses there.
PS Will be traveling soon to Mexico so will be out of touch.

Stewbear, is there a particular place you stay when you're in GTO?
