San Miguel de Allende isn’t just a city to be seen—it’s a place to be tasted. Every street holds a story, every dish carries history, and every bite connects past and present.

This tour goes beyond sightseeing, blending history, tradition, and gastronomy. Each stop is an invitation to discover the city’s culinary identity.

Food selections will depend on the time of day, adapting to what is traditionally enjoyed at each moment.

· Breakfast: Start with warm atole and tamales, fresh-baked bread with coffee, or a vibrant fruit smoothie—comforting and full of tradition.

· Lunch: Enjoy a market antojito, a taco with craft beer on a scenic terrace, and a cocktail or artisanal ice cream to welcome the golden hour.

· Dinner: As night falls, San Miguel transforms. The vibrant street food scene reflects the energy and flavors of its people. Enjoy authentic antojitos, tacos and cocktails.

Every dish tells a story. Let San Miguel’s flavors guide you, and experience the city beyond the streets.

Susana Ojeda Orranti was our tour guide in Historic Guanajuato- she was flexible with the time we met & planned an outstanding tour of the city to meet our needs. Susana is a very pleasant, knowledgeable, patient tour guide- we learned about the Revolution & those involved- her story telling brought the history & city alive for us- she shared tips on where to eat, find special treats & other must see sights. I highly recommend Susana O when you are in Guanajuato! Thank you Susana
