There are plenty of high-quality tours and experiences in Guadalajara. According to previous travelers, here are the best tours to book right now:
Yes, guided tours in Guadalajara are worth it. For starters, having a guide can help you avoid places and situations that aren't the safest. Guided tours are also your ticket to unique cultural experiences that require a Spanish-speaker to coordinate. It's usually more fun to do tequila tastings as a group, too, and they typically cover transportation, which is ideal when you've been drinking.
Per one customer who booked the Full-Day Tour to Tequila and Amatitán With Fun and Culture, "Had a great time on this tour. Our guide, Francisco, was very knowledgeable and theatrical—especially as he spoke in both English and Spanish throughout the day. Lots of great tequila tastings and local information, plus some free time in the town of Tequila."
Some trips in Guadalajara are remarkably affordable, while others are quite expensive. For example, local tequila tastings in the city start around US$15 per person, while private all-day tours in and around Guadalajara can set you back from US$175 per person.
For example, the popular Full-Day Private Tour in Guadalajara costs US$505 for a group of up to 11 people. It includes round-trip transportation to the town of Tequila, where you'll tour an award-winning factory, learn how the famous distilled spirit is produced, and of course, taste it. For a more budget-friendly tour, consider the Guided Tour With Tasting in Tequilera Hacienda de Oro. It lasts around one hour, costs US$15 per person, and includes a distillery tour and tastings.
Considering its reputation as the birthplace of tequila, many tour activities center around visiting Jalisco's top distilleries and enjoying tastings, and you'll find plenty of day trips to the town of Tequila. However, Guadalajara has a rich and varied history, so you'll also find city walking tours that focus on art, culture, food, and local markets.
Consider an all-day or multi-day tour to pack in as many sights and activities as possible. For example, the Full-Day Tour to Tequila and Amatitán With Fun and Culture lasts approximately 9.5 hours, and the itinerary includes visiting agave fields, seeing the Amatitán caves, tasting tequila, and dancing (or simply listening) to live music.
Most travelers find 3–4 days is the perfect amount of time to spend in Guadalajara. As the capital of Jalisco and a focal point of Mexican culture, there’s so much to see and do in the city itself. You’ll want at least 1–2 days to do things within walking distance. Then, give yourself 1–2 days for excursions out to Tequila, Lake Chapala, the Guachimontones Pyramids, and Mazamitla.
