Jorge was amazing!! We learned such fascinating history about charros. He was patient, fun and a wonderful teacher roping and riding the horse. The surprises at the end of the tour really were special and ended on such a beautiful note!! Highly recommend this tour and would bring my entire family should we visit again.

This was one of the best cultural experiences I’ve ever booked while on vacation! We learned so much about charro culture and history, and it gave me such a deeper insight into Mexico and the Mexican people. The talk was informative, inspiring, funny, and engaging. The lasso lesson and horse-riding was so fun and made me want to continue learning to ride at home. I fell in love with Mexico and the charro way!

This was an amazing experience! We learned about the rich history and origins of Charrería through engaging demonstrations and hands-on activities, including the opportunity to learn how to throw a lasso. We also enjoyed a tequila tasting and were serenaded with traditional music, which made the experience even more memorable. It was a unique, authentic, and wonderful cultural experience that I would highly recommend.

This experience is fun, informative, and the charros do a great job of making you feel a part of their culture. Great history lessons, engaging experiences (lasso roping, eg) and terrific memory making!

Amazing experience! Was one of the highlights of our stay in GDL. A great opportunity to learn about the cultural significance and impact of Charreria in its birthplace. Great value for money. Educational and hands-on… worth it! Jorge was amazing!

Our visit to this family-run ranch was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, we could feel the warmth and pride that generations have poured into this place. Our guide, Jorge, went above and beyond—patiently answering all our questions, making sure everyone in our family was comfortable, and helping us truly enjoy every moment.
We learned about the rich history of the ranch and its skilled riders, practiced roping and lassoing, rode beautiful horses, and even got a taste of authentic tequila. The highlight was the personal touch—a private, intimate moment with guitar music and singing that made the day magical.
This tour offered fun, culture, and genuine hospitality all wrapped into one unforgettable day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic and heartwarming ranch experience!

What a wonderful experience! Having the opportunity to learn the history of the Charro, practice with a lasso and ride horseback in the arena where Charros compete was an experience that will stay with me forever.
Highly recommend if you have an interest in deeply-rooted cultural experiences or just wish to spend some time with horses :)

The experience was very nice from start to finish. It started with us getting picked up at our Airbnb which I will admit was a little scary at first but our driver was nothing but nice. We were then taken to Charros de Jalisco where we got to be a charro for a day. We learned how ride a horse like a charro, how to use a lasso, and got to experience our very first charreada and Jorge the charro, even sang to us and gave us tequila. We would definitely recommend anyone to experience this tour at least once.

An experience like no other! I learned a lot about the history of Charros, got to practice lassoing (don’t know if that’s a word) a horse, made friends with other tourists over tequila tasting and listening to wonderful story of Jorge our tour guide while he played guitar and sang. ❤️
Irma_R, Oct 2024
Jorge was an excellent guide and at the end of the tour it definitely felt like he was a close friend. The tour was excellent from all the history to the horses. I can’t recommend this enough and can’t wait to come back with family.
Oscar_A, Aug 2024
An excellent detailed history of what it means to be a Charro. Historical evidence as well as activities that give you a taste of what is Charreria. Jorge Torres is authentic and a very patient guide, bilingual, and an excellent singer!
Kiara_L, Aug 2024
The whole experience was amazing. Jorge was amazing explaining the history and teachings us how to be a charro. Specifically the meaning behind it. My boys are 12 and 16 and they had a great time. The driver pick us up on time prior to the service at our location and drove us to the lienzo charro. Just a tip** Make sure to eat prior of your tour. It lasted a little bit and we were very hungry afterwards.
Danielle_T, Jun 2024
This was a great 1/2 day excursion. We wanted to do something different and this was perfect. We learned a lot about the charro (and Mexican) culture. The guide, Jorge, was fantastic. He was a great teacher of all things charro. The roping was hilarious and the horses gentle. Jorge even treated us to his amazing voice. Highly recommend.

Incredibly fun learning and being a Charro. Jorges the host is a real life Charro and was excellent. The tour included learning about the history, being able to lasso and then ride horse. Finally drinks and a special performance from Jorges. Definitely recommended doing this tour as it's a real cultural experience getting to be part of such a traditional Mexican activity. Thanks Jorges!

Jorge Torres was our Charro trainer.
Excellent!
Learned about the history of Charreria, got to ride the horse and we had a great time. After that Jorge played the guitar and sang. I recommend this to everyone visiting Gudalajara.
