3 Hours of Guided La Paz Street Food Tour

This is a three-hour guided walking food tour through the historic downtown of La Paz, in Baja California Sur. The idea is to eat your way through the city: Baja-style tacos, empanadas and burritos, fresh seafood such as chocolata clams or ceviche, plus a dessert and one drink, all included.

The walk starts at a landmark building, where the guide gives historical context for the rest of the tour (about 15 minutes), then moves to a permanent art installation behind the museum, where you hear about the current exhibition (about 15 minutes). The first real tasting is a traditional Baja-style fish taco (about 45 minutes).

Next is Mercado Madero, a traditional downtown market where the guide shows you the fish market and you can buy local candy, crafts and more (about 20 minutes). You then learn about the cultural relevance of a plaza and its kiosk (about 10 minutes), and taste empanadas and burritos (about 45 minutes). The route also includes a traditional ranch-style butcher shop that produces machaca, a regional delicacy, where you get a sample of fresh machaca (about 20 minutes), a gourmet bakery for pastry (about 20 minutes), and a final tasting of traditional machaca or shredded beef burritos (about 45 minutes). The description also mentions the Malecón, the cathedral and a traditional ranch store among the places visited. Along the way, you hear about the history of La Paz and the origins of California. The listed stop times add up to more than three hours, so confirm the exact schedule when you book.

The tour is suited to all ages and all physical fitness levels, and it can be adapted for vegetarians. Service animals are allowed, and public transportation options are available nearby.

Plan to arrive hungry: the food is abundant, and you should expect it to cover both breakfast and lunch. The listing recommends bringing a hat, sunscreen and comfortable shoes. All food, dessert and one complementary drink are included; private transportation and gratuities are not. The listing does not list a meeting point, so ask for it when you reserve.
