What are people saying about Guadalajara

Corina_M, Oct 2026

Norberto was the greatest tour guide. He made us feel like we learned so much about this town.

Norberto took us on a beautiful drive with his knowledge to go along with us. Every stop was part of our tour that came with much knowledge from Norberto and made it fun at the same time. He gave us a decent amount of time for our free time and gave us the best recommendation to have lunch at as well, LA CUEVA DON CENOBIO RESTAURANT, it’s an old Hacienda smack down in the middle of the little town but you wouldn’t know it because it’s covered by its own walls. It just made our day after just sitting and enjoying a delicious lunch in such a beautiful town. Afterward we walked and explored the quaint town that made me feel like time has not touched it. It was a full day that’s for sure so pack your patience and energy. Don’t miss this tour with Norberto.

Tour Tequila/Guachimontones Route UNESCO

Patricia_I, Oct 2026

Believe all the other reviews! This is definitely the best Guadalajara tour!

There’s one thing that I would really like to say about this tour: All the 5-star reviews are accurate! Daniel has been such an amazing driver and tour guide to us! He was able to immerse us in the rich culture and history of Guachimontones and Tequila. If you ask me what’s my favourite part of the tour, I wouldn’t be able to give you a straight answer. Everything about it was perfect; from the pre-hispanic drinks we got to try from a local who was recognized by the University of Mexico for preserving the recipes from over 500 years ago, to having to try all kinds of Tequila and learning the proper technique to drinking it… my heart is sooo full and I feel blessed for having to choose this tour and experience. Daniel also mentioned that he limits the tourists to 7 pax per tour, so it felt very luxurious and personal. All in all, no words can describe just how much I would like to recommend this tour to everyone. If you’re thinking of going to Guadalajara, book this tour. You won’t regret it. 🙏🏼

Tour to Lake Chapala, MAGIC TOWN of Ajijic from Guadalajara

ANAKAREN_D, Oct 2026

Our tour guide did a...

Our tour guide did a great job throughout the whole trip. It was interesting learning the process for making tequila. I had taken another tour the day before at another tequila distillery in Amatitán, but some of the facts learned during this tour were not mentioned the day before. I liked that people weren't pressured into drinking as not everyone wanted to participate in the tequila tasting, and who were also able to choose how full of a shot glass we wanted. I think we could have been at the restaurant a little less time as once we were done eating we had to wait a while to move on to the next town. I also expected to get a free drink for the boat ride since it was mentioned in the post, but we ended up getting it after lunch for our ride to Ajijic, once we were in the van. It was tequila with squirt, but you couldn't really taste the tequila. Overall, it was a great experience.

Full Day in Tequila with Tasting and party in Cantaritos

Gloria_V, Sept 2026

Super Fun Day Trip in Tequila

Hector brought the fun vibes, playing great music throughout the day. And Don Arturo was a great driver, incredibly knowledgeable about tequila, recommending his favorites throughout the day. Both were bilingual and able to answer questions and help guests. Would definitely recommend this tour again if you're looking to learn more about how tequila is made, explore markets in Tequila, and visit the famous Cantaritos El Guero!

The Fire TOUR - Pyramids, Volcanoes, Agaves & Tequila

Jillian_C, Sept 2026

Fantastic experience for solo traveler!

Rodrigo was an amazing guide and I had a fantastic time on the Fire tour! I was expecting “small group” to mean a van with 10 people, but we only had 3 guests in a regular car, making for a very personal experience. I only speak English, one customer only speaks Spanish and one spoke both. Rodrigo did an amazing job of switching between languages effortlessly without making anyone felt left out. The tour was educational, well worth the price, and was a full day of experiences. We learned about the ancestral and industrial production techniques for making tequila (and the difference between tequila and mescal), had time to wander around the town of Tequila, and had a great morning at the pyramids learning about the ancient civilizations. Highly recommend!

Chapala & Ajijic Pueblo Magica Premium Tour from Guadalajara

Bryan_F, Sept 2026

A Must Do in Jalisco

Love this scenic tour in which I got to see the Chapala Lake and two beautiful towns by the lake. Pick up was easy and on time and the entire trip was well paced- not rushed at all! The van was spacious and comfortable while our guide, Ronny, was very knowledgeable. He was not only an informative guide but also an amazing photographer! He helped all of us take lots and lots of gorgeous photos. I had a lot of fun and befriended many wonderful people along my trip!

Charreria heritage tour be a charro for a day

Edward_R, Sept 2026

I had the chance to visit...

I had the chance to visit Lienzo Charros de Jalisco and learn more about the tradition, values, and heart behind charreria. What stood out to me most was the relationship between the charro and the horse; the trust, discipline, respect, patience, and connection it takes to move together as one. I learned that being a charro is about much more than the clothing or the sport. It represents honor, courage, loyalty, respect, tradition, and pride in where you come from. This experience also made me think about the way I've always loved; deeply, passionately, and especially the women who have been important in my life. Maybe that comes from something rooted even deeper in me. In my genes, I have the heart of a Mexican and the soul of a charro. Being there reminded me just how beautiful and powerful my culture is. There is something special about experiencing traditions that have been passed down through generations and seeing them kept alive with so much pride. And the saying is true: when you come to Lienzo Charros de Jalisco, you leave a more Mexican than when you came.

Sidney_C, Jul 2026

I don't think I fully...

I don't think I fully knew what I was getting myself into when I booked this tour, but I would highly recommend. They take you to several spots where you get a variety of tequila tastings. If you're not really a drinker, just be mindful that this a big component to this tour (if you couldn't tell from the name). Our guide was super knowledgeable and provided a very comfortable experience for the whole group. Great activity to do solo, as a couple, or with a group of friends.

Luxury Tequila Experience: VIP Tastings & Boutique Distilleries

JuanDiego_J, Jul 2026

10/10 – Worth every...

10/10 – Worth every penny! This tour was absolutely worth the value. Our guide, Mich, was fantastic — fun, knowledgeable, and able to answer every question we threw at her, whether it was about the local area or the ins and outs of the tequila distillery process. The group size was small enough to keep things intimate, and by the end everyone genuinely felt like friends. We visited two distilleries, and both were memorable in their own way. The first was a small-batch operation where the owners themselves greeted us and spoke with real passion about their craft — you could tell how much love went into every bottle, and the tequila was delicious. The second distillery was more developed and polished, with genuinely beautiful grounds. Breakfast was a highlight too — a local, no-frills spot on the side of the road where you could order as many gorditas, tacos, and quesadillas as you wanted. Absolutely delicious. One heads up: be prepared to be out for about 12 hours, so pace yourself! But honestly, it was worth every minute. Highly recommend requesting Mich as your guide!

Dora, Nov 2025

The José Cuervo Express...

The José Cuervo Express tour was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The service was exceptional, the staff was warm, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about tequila and the history behind it. The entire experience felt organized, welcoming, and full of energy. The train itself is beautiful and comfortable, with excellent drinks and attention throughout the journey. The tour of the José Cuervo distillery was fascinating—informative, interactive, and full of unforgettable moments. We learned so much about the tequila-making process, from the agave fields to the final tasting. The tequila tastings were outstanding, and every drink we tried was top quality. The food provided during the experience was delicious and exceeded expectations. You can feel the pride and tradition in every detail of the tour. Overall, this is a must-do experience for anyone visiting Tequila or Guadalajara. Highly recommended for couples, families, and anyone who wants a unique and memorable cultural adventure.
