A Memorable Experience of our time in San Miguel! - Our group of 10 friends enjoyed our Downtown Tour of food, tequila/mescal tastings, and history of San Miguel. Leslie did an amazing job presenting the food and tequila/mescal history of San Miguel! The food was great. He was also easy to communicate and plan our tour with. We would definitely use this company again!

More than a food tour! - Omar was a great guide and taught us many things about the town and the food. Along the walk, he recommended places to see and try and was spot on about all of them. Very helpful! We will recommend the tour to friends when they visit San Miguel de Allende.

Great Food Tour in SMA - My wife, adult daughter and I did the SMA original food tour in May 2024. Elisa was our tour guide and she was fabulous. She was very knowledgeable about the history of SMA and the history of the food. Elisa took us to 3 restaurants that specialized in certain cuisine . To finish off the day we went to an ice cream stand then had churros. Portion sizes were quite a bit bigger than I expected. Between all stops it was a full lunch. I highly recommend this tour and if you can Select Elisa as your guide.

Memorable San Miguel - Another San Miguel gem. I took the tour with seven girlfriends and genuinely enjoyed a splendid and colorful blend of food and the historically correct stories of their origins. The walking was minimal but satisfied the urge to walk off each course. The churros alone would have me coming back again.

Great Way to Spend an Afternoon in San Miguel de Allende - We loved learning more about San Miguel de Allende while having great food and drinks! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the city and its history, as well as the local food and customs. Conversation flowed very smoothly and we had a deeper appreciation for what we were seeing around the city after the tour. All of the food was great, the tour involved some but not too much walking. The guide will make sure to keep you hydrated throughout the tour with delicious aguas frescas. We left the tour with additional recommendations for where to go for food later which we took advantage of on our subsequent days. Highlights were the ice cream stand with flavors you can't get in the US like mamey, and the churro shop which had the best churros I ever had.

Great time! - Omar did an excellent job for just the 2 of us! Raised in Atlanta of Mexican immigrants, his English is excellent and his knowledge of SMA and Mexican history is incredible! The food was good also, especially the tortilla soup.
