we had Oscar as a driver and he was super kind and flexible with what we wanted to do. we had no set winery plans, so he had suggestions for which wineries were best and how far or close they were, also which had the best views and photo ops, etc. we ended up booking him for a few more hours to help us get to our dinner reservations and he was so nice about staying on and helping us with the rest of our plans. also we didn’t speak spanish, but we still managed to communicate well and have fun; we even learned some fun spanish phrases from him. overall fun day!

Such a great experience! Ivan was super knowledgable and they were patient and so nice. They let us play our own music and had water for us as well.

This review is for Elias Sandoval. He was so professional and knowledgeable about each winery.

We had such a great time, our tour driver Elias was amazing, gave us excellent tips and took us to best vineyard and did it in a way so we took advantage of the day to see and enjoy

First time venturing out to Valle de Guadalupe, I selected this tour group after pouring through several reviews and youtube videos. We needed round trip transportation from our hotel at Estero Beach for 8 people. Booking on line was easy, I was in constant communication with them from time of booking until they picked us up on our date. Elias was our driver, he was friendly and very accomidating. We didnt know where to go so we let him suggest an itinerary and glad he did. He took us to 3 different wineries, we did a few tastings ate some appetizers and did 1 tour. We suggested a winery and he was able to call and get us in, eventhough we had no reservations. Elias is very resourceful he knows the valle well and can accomadate all your needs. The van was I believe 13 passengers or more, there were 8 of us we had plenty of room. Elias had waters for us. We brought a couple coolers on board, with beer , tequila and seltzers. We also packed snacks for the road. The wineries are spaced out pretty far so expect to only do 3 max. You consume a lot of time getting to each winery, doing the tastings walking around, taking pictures, chatting it up. I would skip breakfast and eat something before your adventure. The tour lasts 8 hrs and you can opt to pay an hourly rate after the 8 allotted hours. I forget the rate but it was very reasonable.

We had an excellent experience with our private driver, Ivan. He was punctual, professional, and had great recommendations for where to visit in Valle de Guadalupe. We had a group of 10, and for many this was our first tie visiting VDG. It rained heavily on the day of our visit and Ivan was great at navigating wet/muddy roads and provided us front-door drop-off and pickup to minimize our exposure to the rain. The 10-person van was clean, comfortable, and spacious. Ivan even cleaned the van out during our trip to get rid of some of the mud/debris we'd tracked in. When we had to pivot because a winery had closed early, Ivan took us to a nearby winery he recommended (Lechuza) which ended up being one of our faves. I highly recommend Ruta del Vino and would use them again.

Antonio was a great guide. At 10am it was too early for wineries and we asked him to take us to a breakfast place for local food because we were tired of fine dining and he took us to a great place for chilequiles. He then took us to three wineries and told us all about the region. We ended the night with dinner at Fauna. Antonio took us to each place and waited for us. I felt safe and relaxed all day. Highly recommend.

Ivan was so good had great suggestions as far as where to eat and the best wineries to visit , Rely attentive and friendly he was on time, we felt safe with his driving

For the amount of money that they were charging, you’d expect that they’ll come up with an itinerary and maybe cover the cost of the wine tasting. But no, this tour is a limo service. They expect you to tell them which wineries to go to, what to do, etc and they’ll take you there. When we get to the winery, they didn’t even help check us in . The driver didn’t speak English either. You are better off renting a van from enterprise and going around the wineries yourself!

Alex made our trip sooo amazing! It was my first time here in Valle de Guadalupe and I didn’t know that most places required reservations. But he knew really cool wineries that didn’t require a reservation and also had such a beautiful scenery. Alex made me and my girlfriends feel so safe and reassured us that we could leave all our items in the van and he would take care of them!! Because of Alex we will be returning very VERY soon. We forgot to bring a cord to connect music in the van and Alex rushed home to bring us a speaker, that was so nice of him. Forever thankful for Alex and Ruta del Vino tours for such an amazing experience!!!!
