Learn the Landmarks - Our guide Elisa was so knowledgeable and we learned such great history about the centro area of San Miguel. She also sent us many recommendations for more things to do after the tour. We enjoyed a lovely lunch and chocolate truffle was an added bonus. A great tour.

Excellent guide - The guide spoke excellent English! There were 9 of us, so no headsets were needed. The lunch was quick and delicious! I highly recommend this tour. The guide said she would send a copy of our group photo. Hope to get that soon. Worth the money!

Wonderful tour! - Guide was very knowledgeable and personable! Tour was about an hour followed by a great lunch. Highly recommend.

A terrific day in SMA - My wife and I signed up for this walking-and-tasting tour and had the great good fortune to be guided by Elisa Torres, a friendly, knowledgeable, English-speaking lifetime local (her family has lived here for generations). Armed with her deep knowledge of SMA history and all the fascinating factoids that bring an ancient place to life, Elisa will have you falling more in love with San Miguel de Allende with every step. The tour began at the parque in front of Templo San Francisco, a place of great historic significance. But don't think this is all work and no fun. The first thing Elisa did was hand us freshly handmade churros tucked under a blanket of delicious cajeta (goat's milk caramel). Best way to start a tour EVER. About midway through the tour she'll take you to a restaurant that already knows your allergies or dietary restrictions. That's planning right there. After lunch, expect to stop by a family-run ice cream stand for a final, delicious treat. Between tastings, you'll get your fill of fun and fascinating info. Elisa seems to know everyone, and they seem to know her. She knows their stories. She knows who is selling genuine artworks and crafts made by hand by indigenous artesans, and where you are likely to run across Chinese-made lookalikes that purport to be the real thing--and that cost even more than the real thing. She'll take you to several must-sees and point out others you shouldn't miss. We've been ticking off the list she gave us and there isn't a clinker in the bunch. If it were possible to give this tour--and this excellent guide--6 stars, we'd do it without hesitation. Book this tour today. The company that operates it, Taste of San Miguel, is a top-flight outfit that offers multiple tours, and we're certain all their guides are excellent; in fact, we've booked the nighttime Ghost Tour with them as well. Our thanks to Elisa and the team at Taste of San Miguel for a terrific day in SMA.

Outstanding - Wonderful tour and guide. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Would recommend it highly. Learned a great deal

Family friendly tour - Our guide Sam was amazing! We opted to book a private tour because we had small children and grandparents. It was very much worth it. We were able to go at a slower and more flexible pace which was perfect with a 2 & 6 year old. Booking was incredibly easy and transparent. Thank you for a wonderful morning, Sam!

The best history tour!! - Our tour was amazing! And it was because of our wonderful guide, Elisa. She took her time with us and is so knowledgeable about the history of SMA. She made it so interesting. We would definitely highly recommend this tour with her. We were a group of 9.

Excellent tour - Amazing experience and definitely recommend it. Learned a lot about the local history and culture. Very knowledgeable tour guide.

Una noche fabulosa, a foodie paradise - Our San Miguel de Allende Landmarks and Gourmet Tour was an unforgettable experience! We explored the city’s most iconic sites—each one brimming with history, color, and charm—before diving into a delicious culinary journey. My favorite dish was the taco de jicama, my favorite drink was the mezcal de frutas de pasión, and my favorite postre was beautifully prepared with pan de muerto. We visited five incredible restaurants, sampling everything from creative appetizers to exquisite main courses and an indulgent dessert.. Our guide Pascal was absolutely spectacular—knowledgeable, a talented musician and passionate about sharing both the city’s history and its vibrant food culture. Their storytelling and attention to detail made the tour come alive. This experience was the perfect blend of culture, flavor, and fun. Highly recommended especially if you’re traveling solo, great way to connect with expats or other travelers.

Architecture - Less was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable. I like his personality. He's kind of dry and direct. He asked what information we were most interested in and stayed focused on that.
