Top Guadalajara Food Tours

We had an excellent time on this tour. In total there we 14 people and 2 guides (Giancarlo and Mel). We left with 14 new friends from all over the world by the end of the tour! We first had lunch and then checked out two distilleries. At the first, we learned about the two processes of making tequila and finished the tour in a tasting room where we learned even more about the different types of tequila. There’s a nice shop where you can buy bottles at the end. I bought two! Then we had lunch at a carnicería where we had carnitas and chorizo. We forgot to tell them in advance that my wife doesn’t eat pork but they still found a way to accommodate us. I don’t think they had beef or chicken at the time we were there. Our next distillery stop was very special. It was literally off the beaten path and without giving too much away, you won’t find a place like this unless you know somebody. I bought three bottles from that distillery because I know I won’t find it in the US. Our final stop was at Cantaritos. It’s a huge outdoor bar space with multiple mariachis spread through the property and people dancing everywhere. We were told it gets super busy so going on a weekday might be best. They had a very large screen for the World Cup as well. Giancarlo and Mel were our guides. They translated in English for us when needed since I can only speak Spanish at a 5 or 6 out of 10 and my wife cannot speak or understand it all. They were extremely informative and I learned so much from them. Highly recommend this tour if you want to experience something unique.

Carlos was our tour guide, he’s very friendly and knowledgeable. Every stop we were given time to enjoy ourselves,no rushing. Then Carlos would tell us more information. It was enjoyable to go to a less crowed, tasty tequila distillery where again Carlos let us enjoy his knowledge. He’s also a great driver.

Our guide was Hernan he did an excellent job of communicating with us, explaining and educating us not only topics pertinent to the tour but also Mexican culture and the country. He did not rush us and gave us recommendations on a restaurant and what food to order once we arrived in Tequila
