Review of Querétaro’s Bernal and Tequisquiapan day trip, with guided town tours, vineyard wine tasting, and Bocanegra cheese tasting.

The lady at the winery was friendly, informative and patient with us. The way the day was organized worked perfectly; however, the guide and the staff at the Oh Truism office lack warmth.”

“Alejandro is an outstanding guide with perfect English. I would definitely use his services again. The cheese tasting had a selection of 6 cheeses and a glass of wine. We enjoyed it. The visit to Bernal was fun and we enjoyed our time to shop, lunch, or whatever. The wine “tasting” was just ok. We expected a full wine tasting with different varieties, not just a glass of red and a port sample when the winery produces more than a dozen varietals.”
