Forever Changed - My brother and I had an absolutely wonderful evening yesterday. My expectation of this tour is that we would have a nice time and experience some good cuisine. But, thats not what happened at all. Instead, we met this amazing chef/restauranteur/historian named Victor. Victor is an incredibly brilliant, kind and humble man who loves the beauty and delicacy of food and sharing it with people. Victor even went out of his way to accommodate a family who wanted to participate in the tour but missed the deadline to purchase the package. This spoke volumes to the kind of person he is. I learned so much. The food and the history behind it was magical coupled with the culinary tips he provided. I felt as if I were tracing my family tree through all of the rich history I was learning. Thank you, Victor! Because of you and this wonderful experience I am forever changed for the better.

JUST BOOK IT ALREADY - We absolutely loved our food tasting experience!!!! There are so many fantastic restaurants in San Miguel de Allende, but to spend an evening with a former chef with an amazing sense of humor and a keen knowledge of authentic Mexican cuisine was priceless. We enjoyed some delicious meals in several locations, and even had a few history lessons along the way. Grateful for such a fun time with Victor

Fabulous tasting experience! - One of the best tours we’ve ever taken. Victor was fabulous…incredible stories and great food. We had so much fun exploring San Miguel de Allende, and learning the history and culture of the city. We really can’t recommend Victor enough. Ready to come back with friends and take the tour again.

Unique, lovely evening out - Victor was the perfect guide for our food experience. Not only knowledgable about Mexican cuisine, but the history behind it. Nice, friendly, small group of 6 made for a more intimate evening. The 3 1/2 hours flew by.

A exceptional SMA food and cultural experience with an exceptional host! - A great SMA taste experience with an exceptional host! Pascal made the evening with his 5 course selection at different local restaurants AND in depth knowledge of the food/spices/preparation- and bonus - has deep knowledge of SMA -Spain-Mexico history and culture. He has close personal relationships with the owners, managers and employees. Also, passionate knowledge of the city and surrounding areas. All courses were simply delicious and great variety. My favorite was the traditional Chile en Nogada. Viva la Mexico. Close second mole enchiladas. Highly recommend it and ask for Jean Pascal!!

Miguel was very... - Miguel was very knowledgeable about the food and the history of the town and many other things. I think we were a bit taken back when it was only my wife and I. It would be best with a small group but it was very good otherwise.
