  • Tim took us on an educational and tasty tour of Guanajuato’s city center. It was a delight to experience the variety of street foods the city has to offer with an experienced guide.

  • We tried out this street food tour in Guanajuato and can warmly recommend it. It’s a great way to familiarize yourself with the city and find places you wouldn’t find just by yourself.

  • We linked up with Tim for his Guanajuato food tour and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Not only did we get to try some great street food and learn where all the choice vendors are, but we really got to know our way around the city.
