Delicious Food Tour - This tour was amazing. It was an easy walk that showed us many sights in the city. We learned so much about the history of Guadalajara and how that influences the food in the city. We also tasted a lot of delicious and interesting food. But the highlight of the tour was Eliza she was warm and engaging and she was very knowledgeable about the culture and food. She was very good at making everyone comfortable and encouraging conversation. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in the food and culture of Guadalajara.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ABSOLUTE PERFECTION - This Tour Will Change Your Life! - Holy moly! Where do I even BEGIN with Eliza?! This woman isn't just a tour guide - she's a food whisperer, a cultural ambassador, and honestly, she's now permanently etched into my heart as one of the most incredible humans I've ever encountered! From the very first bite of that life-altering torta ahogada (seriously, I'm STILL dreaming about it), I knew this wasn't just a tour - this was a culinary awakening. Eliza has this magical ability to make you feel like you've been best friends forever within the first five minutes. Her energy is absolutely infectious - the kind that makes you smile so hard your cheeks hurt! The way she curated every single stop, every single bite, every single moment? Chef's kiss - PURE GENIUS! She didn't just show us Guadalajara's backstreets; she opened her soul and shared the beating heart of this incredible city with us. The pacing was flawless, the food was transcendent, and that final bar stop? I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it! I'm not exaggerating when I say this tour ruined me for all other food experiences. Eliza set the bar so astronomically high that I'm already planning my return trip AND dragging every single person I know along with me. Book this tour NOW. Your taste buds will thank me, your heart will thank me, and you'll walk away with not just incredible memories, but a genuine friendship that extends far beyond food. Eliza, you absolute legend - THANK YOU for sharing your magic with us! 🌮✨❤️

We love Culinary Backstreet Tours - This is our sixth Culinary Backsteet Tour and it was right up there with all of them. Jasmine was a wonderful guide. Great selection of stops and food treats.

More then Just Food! - The entire experience was fantastic. Our guide was so knowledgeable about not only the food, but the history and the culture. We went to places and tried foods I would never have found on my own no matter how many guidebooks I read. this was my first experience with Culinary Backstreets and it definitely won't be my last. I'm already planning my next culinary adventure for my next trip!

Más birria. Más ahogada! - We were so happy to blend history, culture and food on this tour. We could not have been more grateful for the time and thoroughness with which Eliza tied the food to the state of Jalisco in the past and present. This was one of our top tour experiences around the world. We can’t wait to come back and explore other cities with Culinary Backstreets.

A memorable day of Guadalajara culinary history - Eliza was a wonderful guide for the whole day; her vitality was very special. The food could not have been more delicious, and also fascinating in its historical origins. Even the teenager of my friend became engaged, enjoying the tour. I will make every effort in the future to take friends who are visiting me on a tour with Eliza.

Amazing history and culinary experience - This was such a cool deep dive into the rich cultural history of Guadalajara and the Western region of Mexico, and the food was just a bonus! I love how the guide wove together the history of the sites we visited with the background of the food. We tried SO many different foods and drinks in one experience, and the walk took us through parts of the city I wouldn't have found on my own. Couldn't recommend this tour or the guide highly enough!
