Best Tour I’ve Experienced - Ive traveled around the world and this tour now rates as the BEST tour experience I’ve ever had. Noemi had an abundance of knowledge that catered to the specific interest I preferred. She was also very accommodating in adding more time to preferred locations and shortening others as needed. I felt the tour was planned properly to exhibit key locations in Guadalajara. The food location she has selected are very unique to the area and promote the culture. The value she brings to this tour is unrivaled I spent the entire day with her and she provided breakfast, lunch, snacks, treats, drinks and music. Noemi also made me feel safe but more so like a friend you know very well that you haven’t seen in a few years. Yes you will walk and yes it’s the best way to enjoy Guadalajara! 100% recommend this full day tour. If I get the opportunity to be part of another tour she offers I will do so in the future.

😀 Super tour - Noemi gives a spectacular tour very cultural, you eat delicious, but if you have to walk 10 thousand steps but these are worth it, you know everything in detail with very detailed explanations.

Best day ever on the food and culture tour with Noemi! - My adult daughter and I just finished our tour with Noemi and it was by far the most enjoyable tour we’ve taken. We learned so much about the local food and history of Guadalajara and Noemi was so entertaining in her stories of the past. She has a great sense of humour and is so knowledgeable about this city. We tried many different drinks and food! Her English was excellent and we strongly recommend this tour for anyone interested in learning more about this incredible city from a local who is passionate about her culture and city. Thank you Noemi for an incredible day!!

Fantastic food experience - This tour was the highlight of our 3 night stay in Guadalajara. Noemi was a delight to be with touring the city highlights and food stops. You can tell she is very proud of her city and her knowledge reflects that passion. She is very professional, has a great sense of humour, and seems to be well recognized by staff at all the sites visited. My wife and I, and our friends thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Best birthday! - We had a magnificent time, and Noemi was a fabulous host, she is a remarkable ambassador for Guadalajara. She is passionate about the history and culture of the city and it's founders. The day of our tour was the same day as my birthday. Noemi had a small, tasty little cake for me, it was so nice and thoughtful, and even ended with another little cake at the end of the tour. It was a fantastic day, and I didn't think it could have been better Noemi was very patient, she explained everything to me in English and what my friend didn't understand she would repeat to him in Espanol with no problem. She is a wonderful person, and I felt very safe and comfortable walking everywhere with her.

The absolute best way to spend a day in Guadalajara!!! - This is not just a food tour. This is a celebration of the food and culture that make Guadalajara what it is and Noemi is the most enthusiastic and informative guide. The food is wonderfully paced throughout the tour and takes advantage of fresh seasonal specialties, fresh pitaya is an experience. The tour provides ample opportunity to try food from preferred street vendors as well as dishes from restaurants that have been generational institutions for families in Guadalajara. Noemi won’t just take you to get birria. She will take you to get birria from the best birria spot in the best birria neighborhood in town and when a local asks you where you went they’ll usually mention that that’s their favorite spot too while nodding approvingly. If you have the opportunity to try Tejuino go for it; so refreshing! Providing breaks from eating there is the culture part. While walking around Guadalajara you’ll visit churches, museums, and the odd government building, if you’re lucky. Together they, with Noemi as a translator, tell the story of the history and people of Guadalajara from the very beginnings of the city to the present day. Again I can’t think of a better way to spend a day in Guadalajara. You get so much from this tour. The food is amazing. The drinks are amazing. The culture is amazing and Noemi is by far the best ambassador Guadalajara could ask for. Do yourself a favor and spend a day falling in love with Guadalajara.

Average tour and it is not recommended. - This tour only includes two restaurants and does not provide an abundance of food to sample from a variety of restaurants. The majority of the time was spent on a walking cultural tour in the heat. This tour is not recommended.
