Lauren was a fantastic tour guide and her venue choices were amazing. Everything from tacos to champagne to churros. Who knew there was a churro bar! Great fun afternoon eating, drinking and learning!

Fabulous

Paula_A, Apr 2024

This was a great tour of historical features as well as New Mexico food experience. The food was fabulous. I had a hard time finding parking, but other than that it was a perfect tour. Our guide Lauren was so much fun and made the experience even better.

Great way to spend an afternoon in Santa Fe!

Bill_J, Mar 2024

Although there are cheaper tours of Santa Fe, this walking/eating tour is excellent. The guide gives insights to the development of food in the Southwest that you get to taste and experience from great places around downtown Santa Fe. Come hungry and don't worry about lunch or dinner that day.

Do this tour!

Fabulous Santa Fe Food Tour

S_K, May 2023

This food tour is one of the most fabulous I have taken. Lauren was a knowledgeable, passionate guide - she share the history of Santa Fe mingled with delicious food and drink stops. We had four sit down food stops - three included alcoholic beverages. The food and drink was more than plentiful - no need to have dinner that evening. Lauren also provided many other recommendations for food, sightseeing and other sage advice. Book this - it will be a highlight of your Santa Fe visit.

Wonderful few hours with Lauren sampling great food and drink! Got insights into the colorful history of Santa Fe. And tips for exploring many more hidden restaurant gems known only to locals.

Best food tour you will ever experience!

Christopher_E, Feb 2023

We’ve traveled to many cities and enjoy taking a food tour to get a little history and taste of the local food scene. This food tour was over the top and by far the best food tour we’ve ever done! I love and appreciate our guide, Lauren working in the culinary arts. She has an in-depth understanding and palate for the local food scene. I love all the restaurants we experienced from the amazing food and drinks, the architecture and decor. All our tastings were high quality dishes, beautiful presentation and I appreciate the chefs taking a few minutes from their busy day to introduce themselves and explain their dishes. This chef experience was quite an unexpected and wonderful surprise! I love learning a bit of Santa Fe history along the way. Thank you for the best food tour ever!

Our tour guide, Lauren, from Wander NM, provided a great experience of the food and culture of Santa Fe. We enjoyed her commentary and choices of food and drink. Lauren’s food service industry background was a real plus adding more insight to the local food scene in SF.

This tour was a highlight of my trip to New Mexico. Lauren was a knowledgeable guide in both the history and food scene of Santa Fe. She was very personable and engaging with all the members of our group. She took us to amazing restaurants that I'm sure I wouldn't have found on my own.

Santa Fe half day food tasting

Dhiggerson, Feb 2020

This was a wonderful afternoon of tasting and learning some history. Our guide, Jay, did an outstanding job of moving our small group along and explaining things as we walked. We enjoyed tamales, green chili cheeseburgers, sangria, margaritas, wine and cheese tasting, and cannolis. Excellent!
