Great informative tour

Irina_C, Nov 2025

Tour was very informative, we learned a lot about the tequila making process and tasted some awesome high quality tequila. Lunch stop was just ok, food was overpriced and they could not get my meal request correctly although I explained it to the waitress in Spanish. We had 2 hours in the town of Tequila which was a little long for 4 block tourist area. Drive back in traffic took about 3 hours! Overall I would still recommend this tour.

Great tour guide and carefully scheduled stops!

Carmen was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable and passionate about her work. Carmen did an excellent job explaining the distillation process in the making of tequila.

Long but fun tour

Darlene_T, Sep 2025

It was a long fun day. Loved the Don Elias distillery tour. Lunch was good but at a remote place with nothing to see while eating. The town of Tequila wasn't much but loved the sign and got great photos there. I think having lunch there on your own would have been much better. 2 hours wandering around vendor tents was too long. Lots of driving but still a fun time.l Traffic was awful but that's not the drivers fault

Great experience

Erika_D, Jul 2025

José Luis was our guide and he was great. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the tequila process. We had kids with us and Jose Luis was patient and he even helped us see some horses that the kids had been wanting to see during the tour. Would definitely recommend.

Best Tequila tour

MariePierre_D, Jul 2025

Carmen the guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. Her professional make this adventure unforgettable. We felt very safe with her and the driver

If you only have one day in Guadalajara, try a day trip to Tequila!

Rachel_J, Jun 2025

Our tour guide was Jose and he was fantastic. He was informative and patient. He would say everything in Spanish and English for the whole group. He was happy to answer any questions and was pretty funny. The tour is an all day experience. Highly recommend.

Definitely recommend!

Claudia_D, Feb 2025

We picked this your for its clarity and description and it delivered to its promise. We all enjoyed a full day of fun activity. Hector was our tour guide and he was an amazing guide.

Overall a good day...

Jeffrey_S, Feb 2025

Overall a good day visiting Tequila and a tequila distillery along the way in spite of a couple of hiccups regarding pickup. The tour was with pickup at our hotel, but I wasn't asked where my hotel was and wasn't provided with any information about it until I wrote and asked about it. On the day, the pickup was somewhat late, so I was left wondering whether we had been forgotten.

Wonderful day trip to tequila distillery and to Tequila!

Patricia_O, Jan 2025

We really enjoyed the day trip to the blue agave fields, and the craft tequila distillery, and time to stroll around the town squares in Tequila! Our driver Jose was wonderful and we sincerely appreciated that he could give us the distillery tour in English. He is very knowledgeable.

Tequila, distillery and more!

JOHN_Z, Jan 2025

The tour was very well organized and I appreciate that they picked me up at my Airbnb. The visit to the Don Elias distillery was very informative and fun. Also enjoyed the lunch and ample free time in the town of Tequila, so we could roam the central plaza, local markets and take pictures of the historic streets near Jose Cuervo distillery which is beautiful and incredibly well preserved.

It was fun!

Deborah_V, Nov 2024

It was a fun itinerary and small group made it nice also. We made several stops for food and special drinks and of course a stop at a tequila factory and tasting and explanation of the process. The stop at the town of Tequila offered many cultural things to see and experience in the plaza and outdoor market The Jose Cuervo plant is a nice place to visit on the Main Street which offers a video of the process. This town has restaurants, museums and shops. It was fun!

Great tour

nora_r, Oct 2024

The tour was fun and informative. The tour guide Sebastian and Miguel the driver were the best! We had lots of fun, we highly recommend this tour.

a relaxed tour that wasnt...

Catherine_L, Sep 2024

a relaxed tour that wasnt packed with itineraries. tour guides were friendly and provided good service and information throughout the tour. just to take note that the pick up time stated on the website differs from the actual pick up time (ie: website stated 10am however when chatting with the helpline on whatsapp they said 9am) good job to Carmen our tour guide and Martin our driver who got us around safe and sound.

Love IT !

Cynthia_V, Jul 2024

Carmen was amazing 🤩 ! Tour expectacular Will defetnely do IT a gain ! My family was very happy with the whole tour

Great tour, easy, fun, worth every penny

Joshua_C, May 2024

Carmen was a great guide. Everything went perfectly from confirmations to drop off. They were early for estimated pick up time. Went to first small distillery to learn and have 3 tastings then went to stop on the road for clay jar cocktails. Photo op of agave fields, donkey, swing, horse. Drive into tequila for 3+ hours of free time. Jose cuervo tour optional might not be worth it since the first stop taught you everything. Lots of shops, bars, stalls for food, drinks, items. Depart at 430p and 3 central stops for exit.

!Carmen fue magnifica! / !Carmen was awesome!

Karl_K, Feb 2024

Dear Viatoros: This trip was a GREAT value for us! Certainly the ambiance of the boutique distillery and the charm of the Magical Puebla Tequila. After a week in Guada, doing El Centro, Tlaquepaque, Tequila, Lake Chapala, & Zapopan (Basilica de Nuestra Señora - UNESCO site), this tour was an unexpected delight! That is because....Carmen was the differentiator! She rocks with awesomeness! She made us laugh the whole way there. Since I understand Spanish, I laughed when she alternated her explanations and delivered the punchlines en Espanol also. We pulled her aside for some 1 to 1 chats and she is has lovely soul. Muy bueno Alma! She even went out of her way to help us track down Tequila ice cream in Tequila! She's the best! Team Karezoo (my wife and I) will do another tour with this company next time we visit Guada so we hope to see Carmen again soon!

Great Excursion

JoseEnrique_S, Oct 2024

Fue muy bien explicado, bastante agradable y maravilloso recorrido, sin embargo no me gustó el lugar para elegir comer, creo había más posibilidades gastronómicas y fue muy limitada la variedad de alimentos.
