What you can expect
Embark on a 3-hour walking and eating adventure through the heart of Querétaro’s UNESCO-listed historic center, where centuries of Mexican history meet the flavors and traditions of everyday life.
Taste your way between small, locally loved eateries, sampling a delicious variety of tacos, tamales, gorditas, and more, with vegetarian-friendly options available. Sip tequila at one of the city’s oldest cantinas, meet beloved local vendors, and discover the ingredients, origins, and traditions behind the dishes you taste.
But this is much more than a food tour. Querétaro has played a pivotal role in the story of Mexico. As you walk its plazas and historic streets, discover how the city developed during the colonial period and hear about the people and events connected to Mexico’s struggle for independence and the Reform era. Along the way, local legends, curious tales, and unexpected details reveal another side of the city.
Querétaro’s historic center was recognized by UNESCO for its exceptional cultural heritage, including its distinctive urban layout and extraordinary colonial architecture. Today, it remains a living historic center, where centuries-old buildings, traditions, local businesses, food, and daily life continue to exist side by side.
With a maximum of just 6 guests, the experience is personal and relaxed. There’s time to ask questions, talk with your guide, meet the people behind the food, and notice the details that are easily missed when exploring alone. Your local guide brings together history, legends, food, and everyday life to help you understand not only what you’re seeing and tasting, but why it matters.
Leave with a full belly, a deeper understanding of Querétaro, and the confidence to continue exploring its food and historic center on your own.
Come discover the Querétaro we locals know and love.
