This was a Wonderful experience, I learned a lot about cooking, mexican history of food, and ate delicious plates.
Victor was an incredible guide. Friendly, bubbly, funny, passionate, and full of stories. He took us through time as we ate each meal and told us the history and tradition of each dish. We got some great views of the city as well. It was an experience I’ll never forget. I would absolutely recommend Victor to a friend traveling to San Miguel.
Thank you so much for your beautiful words! It truly means the world to me to know that the experience stayed with you in such a special way. Guiding you through the flavors, stories, and traditions of San Miguel and Mexico is something I’m deeply passionate about, so reading that you felt taken “through time” with each dish makes me incredibly happy. That’s exactly the kind of magic I hope to create in every tour. I’m also so glad you enjoyed the views of our charming city, San Miguel has a way of stealing hearts, especially at sunset. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and I would be honored to welcome you (or any friends you send my way!) anytime in the future. Warmest regards, Victor

Victor took us to five different restaurants and each served an incredible option. We had a traveler with dietary restrictions and he went out of his way to ensure their experience was just a good. Overall he was an amazing guide with a wealth of knowledge to share
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a joy hosting your beautiful family. I’m especially happy to hear that everyone felt comfortable and well cared for, especially when it comes to dietary restrictions, which are always very important to me. Sharing these culinary experiences and stories with such a lovely family made the day even more special. I hope to welcome you all again for another delicious adventure in the future!
Our tour guide, Victor, brought us 5 different local restaurants, and all of them served us their signature plates. Taste and atmosphere were unforgettable and we highly recommend to take this great experience. He was very professional and knowledgeable, and we learned lots about Mexican food and its history.

We joined this food tour in San Miguel de Allende and it ended up being a highlight of our trip to Mexico. Everything was well organized, the pace was relaxed, and we always felt safe and taken care of. Our chef‑guide, chef Victor was amazing. Victor didn’t just point out dishes; he explained how they’re prepared, which ingredients are truly local, and how families here really eat. You can feel how passionate he is about Mexican food and his job of being a tour guide. We tasted everything from Soup, Chilies en Nogada, Jicama Taco and finished with tasting Mexican chocolate. Places we never would have found on our own. My favorite stop was at El Pegaso Restaurant and we appreciated that Victor offered alternatives to one of us who had food allergies. The group size small it felt like a private tour, and we learned so much about the history and culture behind the food without ever feeling rushed. It felt like spending the day with a very talented friend who knows all the secrets of the city. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves food and wants a more authentic experience in SAN Miguel de Allende. If you can, book a tour with chef Victor, you’ll leave full, happy, and with a new appreciation for Mexican cuisine.
Your words truly mean more to us than I can express. Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and generous review. Knowing that the experience was a highlight of your trip fills my heart. What I love most about what I do is creating genuine connections, sharing stories, and welcoming guests as friends. It was a joy spending the day with you, and I am so grateful our paths crossed here in San Miguel de Allende. I hope this is not goodbye, but simply “until next time.” With warm gratitude, Chef Victor
The food was incredible. We returned to one of the restaurants the very next evening! Victor was a great guide. He chose the most mouthwatering food at locals only places with dishes we had never eaten - and we eat a lot of Mexican dishes! The variety of tastes were superb!
Thank you so much for your beautiful words. It truly makes me smile knowing you enjoyed the experience so much that you returned to one of the restaurants the very next evening — that is the greatest compliment. Sharing hidden culinary gems and creating memorable moments with fellow food lovers is what I cherish most. I’m so grateful our paths crossed, and I hope to welcome you back to San Miguel again someday. With warm appreciation, Chef Victor
