Franco was awesome. We discussed a lot of the history and it was very informative. Great guide. Jacob was also awesome. The food was amazing and we had a great time.
Chema gave an amazing tour, the history of the different periods, and food journey with each period. The recommendations for drinks. Making the salsas and mole was awesome. Some of the best Carne asada and guacamole ever! Omar was an amazing captain who kept us well hydrated!
Hola Natalia, Sounds like Chema turned the Pueblos Tour into a true journey through Mexico—one story and flavor at a time! From making salsas and mole to that unforgettable carne asada and guacamole, it’s wonderful to know the food experience stood out just as much as the history. And Omar making sure everyone stayed hydrated definitely completed the team effort! Cheers to a delicious day! 🙌 Warm regards,

Enjoyed this tour with my family. We really had a great time listening to Chema. As he explained the history of the little towns that we visited we were all engaged. Ages in this family ranged from preteen to 80’s , as he showed us everything about cooking, he shared that cooking brings families together. He showed us where homemade tortillas were created, and also we went to an incredible farmhouse with a lake. While we were there, he helped us put together some mole sauce and make salsa. This was an experience that my family and I will not forget!

Chema was informative and engaging. He made sure to ask what everyone was looking to get out of the tour and point out details and facts that aligned to their interests. He wanted to make sure nobody was bored or uninvolved. Learned tons of information, but never felt it was a lecture. Ismael made sure we were safe and comfortable with good music, cold drinks, and safe driving.
