Fantastic Tour!
I had a fantastic time on my solo tour in the Centro! The experience was both informative and enjoyable, offering a unique perspective from a local's point of view. While visiting the city alone, I really appreciated having a friendly tour guide to show me around and introduce me to the area. I learned so much about the history of Querétaro and the delicious food I got to try.

Wonderful local food tour
Fantastic tour of the local food scene! Edgar was an excellent guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and with a great sense of humour. We loved the insider tour of the Mercado, and it was delightful to stroll around Queretaro’s streets in between locations. Highly recommend for a window into Queretaro’s food traditions.
