What a wonderful tour! Our guide and host, Omar, took us on a journey both gastronomically and historically, introducing us to food and drink that was both delicious and refreshing. And his presentation of the history of San Miguel and area, as well as Mexico was informative and entertaining. We had a great time. Thank you!
