Great opportunity for tequila tasting and education!
It was a great opportunity to visit Old Town neighborhood of SanDiego, taste a bit of local food,and receive an expansive education on tequila with the fantastic host and guide Nate! You will walk away feeling like you will be the most knowledgeable person in your friend group and beyond when it comes to the nuances of tequila creation and tasting! Would highly recommend this tour with Nate!

San Diego Tequila Tour in Old Town: A Must-Do Adventure for San Diego Travelers
If you enjoy tequila or are new to tequila tasting, this guided tour is a fantastic choice. My daughter took us on the tour for Father’s Day, and it was a fabulous experience. You’ll learn about the best tequilas from a seasoned expert, including how they are made and what to look for when tasting. It’s a highly personal experience unlike any other adventure. Nate, our personal guide, is one of the most knowledgeable connoisseurs of fine tequila I’ve ever met.
The walking tour through Old Town San Diego covers about two miles and takes most of the afternoon to complete. We stopped at three restaurants, including the world famous El Agave Tequileria, where we sampled five excellent tequilas, a Sangrita chaser, and enjoyed some awesome fish tacos. My wife and I have already recommended this tour to our close friends and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area looking for something different and fun to do.

Great Tour, highly recommend!
Great tour! Super informative, our Tour guide Nate was awesome too! Went to three amazing spots while seeing Old Town. I wasn’t into tequila but after learning about the best type of tequila without any additives and the benefits I think I’ll be drinking tequila more! Lol

Oh...so you think you know tequila since you swiped that añejo from your parent's stash under the sink twenty years ago and that's all you drink in your margaritas ever since? Well Willy Wonka meme face tell me again how you only drink top shelf, etc., etc. ad nauseum...
It's true you may know a thing or two about tequila... but it's not highly likely you're going to complete this tour without learning something new. Not only is Nate knowledgeable about the process, from tequila terroir to the how and why of bottling- but, even better, he's great with questions... even challenging ones! He's passionate about tequila! Seriously, this gentleman takes tequila... seriously.
Can you take this tour and have a good time and just enjoy this tour without feeling like you have to take a quiz at the end? Hell yeah. Can you take this tour at any level from newbie to connoisseur and learn something new if that's your jam? Absolutely!
We went as a couple, just because we had the weekend free. We had the pleasure of company on our tour- a couple who were celebrating a birthday. Shout out to Lisa and Lupe! This activity would also be great for singles to groups of any size, for any reason. Thanks, Nate!

Do you think you know everything about tequila since you stole the añejo from under your parents' sink twenty years ago and it's the only thing you drink in your margaritas ever since? Willy Wonka meme face, amix, tell me again how you only drink "top shelf", etc., etc.
It's true that you may know a few things about tequila... but you probably don't know more than Nate - even if you're Mexi, from the state of Jalisco - on this tour, you're going to learn something new. Not only does Nate know the process, from the terroir of tequila to the hows and whys of bottling, but even better, he's great with questions... even challenging ones! He is passionate about tequila! Seriously, this man takes tequila... seriously.
Can you take this tour, have a good time, and just enjoy it without feeling like you have to pass a test at the end? O mai gath, yaaaasss. Can you take this tour at any level, from novice to skilled, and learn something new if that's what turns you on? Absolutely!
My partner and I went, we had the weekend off. We had the pleasure of having company on our adventure: a couple who were celebrating a birthday. Shout out to Lisa and Lupe! This activity would also be ideal for singles and groups of all sizes and for any reason. Thanks, Nate!
