Incredible A+ Experience! Food, Culture, History...everything we hoped for! - What a great experience! Wonderful food, and were blown away about the rich, diverse history of Mexican cuisine as well as San Miguel de Allende's significance in the history of Mexico's independence. Omar was a fantastic guide and super knowledgeable; he enlightened us with insights, a little humor, and great stories of the past. We thought the amount of stops and 3.5 duration was perfect for what we wanted. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in a local tour.

Tasty Food Tour of SMA - Our tour guide was a SMA local Elisa, whose commentary during our tour perfectly described the history and food culture of this region in the wider context of Mexico. We made 4 stops trying an appetizer of guacamole, chips, Aztec soup with Hibiscus water…followed by an entree of Black Mole Chicken Enmoladas with Melon (cantaloupe) water…then Sope with Cochinita Pibil…and for 2 desserts Churros and Ice Cream! All very tasty and I’m stuffed! Elisa’s company made the tour unforgettable!

Great time to be had - Elisia was our guide. The tour was just me and my husband. She is a local and extremely knowledgeable about the history of San Miguel de Allende and the history of food in the area. All of the restaurant choices were wonderful, the food delicious and you end with fresh, hot churros and locally made ice cream. This tour makes for a very fun afternoon. I highly recommend others try it.
