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.

Top notch tour of San Miguel de Allende with Sam! - Sam was our tour guide for the day and was ext ordinarily friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating! In addition to the local sights included on the tour he pointed out many other places of interest that we might be interested in visiting and exploring. The lunch and chocolate shop he took us to were outstanding! However, the best part of the tour was his knowledge of the area, its history, and his recommendations for the many other places we might want to explore during our month in San Miguel de Allende. We feel that we’ve made a friend in San Miguel and will definitely recommend him to others!

Very knowledgeable guide! - We learned a lot about the history and culture of San Miguel de Allende in a short amount of time. We never felt rushed. The meal at the conclusion was the perfect lunch and a visit to the chocolate shop capped it off beautifully.

Wonderful taste of … - Sam is incredibly knowledgeable about SMA and has many stories and historical facts to share. His deep understanding of life in Mexico .. with all its glory and problems … enriched our tour. He is American (from MN originally) and has lived in this land for more than a decade. He speaks fluent Spanish and Finnish also. Lunch was delicious at a typical SMA restaurant, as was ice cream at a vendor outside the Vince t.
