We had an amazing walking (with one taxi) food tour with Diego! My husband and I love exploring the local food culture and he took us to some great local markets we never would have been able to navigate on our own. We tried tacos, meats, fruits and other treats. At the places he picked he knew the owners. Diego even brought his own plates and silverware for us. He is really knowledgeable about the history of the food culture of San Miguel De Allende. He also went with us to the local craft market. All in all a great day!

Guanajuato is an amazing city located in the mountains, where people built their colorful houses. Starting as a mining town in the 16th century, you will be impressed by its colorful houses, the streets that run underneath the city and the mountains, the museums and historical buildings. This is a 9 hours tour starting from San Miguel de Allende or Queretaro, where we'll visit Teatro Juarez, University of Guanajuato, Hidalgo market, the kissing alley. As an option we can see Diego Rivera House museum, or Mummy museum, and you can choose between the tourist mine or the Ex Hacienda de San Gabriel Barrera. This is an unique city in Mexico with a strong architectural European influence.

Did two tours with Aaron in Queretaro, the city walking tour and the wine and cheese tours. His english is excellent and his knowledge of the region and its history wonderful. He regaled us with stories of the history of the region, but was also a wealth of knowledge of the businesses and economic engines of the region. He drove us for the wine tour in his newish Nissan. He is a careful solid driver and we felt comfortable the whole day. We especially enjoyed the town of Bernal and the Freixenet winery. We felt very well cared for the entire time with Aaron. Would strongly recommend him and his tours and plan to come back one day to further explore the region.
