This was our last tour of our trip and a great way to end a great stay in Guadalajara. It was a full day spent getting to know the surroundings of Guadalajara with excellent historical information, a great visit to the Guachimontones pyramids, a great no pressure tequila tasting and enough free time to enjoy the actual town of tequila. Alejandro was a fabulous guide!
It has been a very cool excursion! Our guide Alejandro treated us very well and explained everything thoroughly, making it a fun day where time flew by.
Very good tour, Alejandro the guide was very kind. Throughout the tour, they provided us with cold drinks to help us cope with the heat. The van that transported us was very comfortable. The overall experience, the information provided by the guide, and the town of Tequila were very good.
As our guide Alejandro says.... SUPER!!! Very complete tour, with great attention to detail, a fantastic full-day experience!
Carlos was a superb guide,very knowledgeable and passed on the information really well
Could not have asked for a better day. Perfect mix of culture, learning, food and drink. Rodrigo was the best guide. He is a true Tapatio (local) with a deep knowledge of all areas that we drove through, food and the tequila. We learned so much and had the best time doing it. He communicated very well on pick-up and drop off. Since we were a small group, he worked with us on time and stops. I am so happy we chose the tour where we learned about and saw Guachimontones. He took us to a great distillery (Tequila Selecto) that had such a variety of additive-free tequilas. And we got to see so many steps of the tequila making process in action. If you have the choice between this and one of those big bus tours of Tequila, 100% do this and hopefully you get Rodrigo too!
It was a very enjoyable experience and our tour guide Alejandro was very knowledgeable and friendly. It rained on the day but that did not significantly affect the tour.
We had an amazing private tour to the pyramids, volcanoes, agave fields, and tequila distilleries. The entire experience was well organized, enjoyable, and exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide and driver, Rodrigo, was outstanding. He explained everything in great detail, shared fascinating information about each location, and patiently answered every question we had throughout the day. His knowledge, professionalism, and friendly attitude made the tour even more enjoyable. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to explore, take pictures, and truly enjoy each stop. If you're looking for a private tour with excellent service and a knowledgeable guide, we highly recommend this experience. Thank you, Rodrigo, for making our day unforgettable!
A great day that begins with historical experiences with the round pyramids and descriptions around it. Then lunch and time for the community of Tequila. So the actual preparation and tasting of tequila. Even the trip itself and seeing the landscape. Alejandro is a knowledgeable, helpful and very nice guide!
Alejandro was top notch guide, spoke fluent English, took his time going between Spanish speaker and English speakers ensuring everyone was well Informed. The pyramids are a must see, he even did the guide in the distillery. We had about an hour in The Tequila town which to me was good. Pick up and drop off was at the hotel, overall a great experience which I highly recommend.
