“Last minute trip to Mexico and a day to make the most of my time I am so glad I booked this tour! They picked me up/ dropped me off at my hotel and from start to finish were incredibly kind and courteous to me. Our group was comprised of 7 of us total and our guides were Andy and Pedro. We had so much fun cultivating relationships and they made us feel welcomed and took the time to get to know us. We traveled to two distilleries and then into Tequila with a final stop to the famous Cantaritos El Guero. The day was so enjoyable and am so…”
Review of a full-day Lake Chapala and Ajijic tour from Guadalajara with tequila tasting, boat ride, lunch, guides, costs, and practical tips.
“Over all it is good trip. Majority of guests are Spanish speakers. Only 2 included me in English. The tour guide/driver did take time to give instructions in English. The pre communications need to be improved. The operator did not responded either email or What'sApp. The trip could start earlier than 10:30am. It took almost 2.5 hrs to get back due to the poor highway condition. Got back to the hotel 9:30pm. Long day!”
Explore Guadalajara’s historic center with a local guide, Orozco murals, the cathedral, San Juan de Dios Market, and a taste of tejuino.
“Carlos was very pleasant and knowledgeable. He only had the 2 of us just like a personalized tour guide. Only thing is I paid for walking tour with photoshoot but there was no photoshoot involved. Overall great experience.”
Spend a full day exploring tequila-making, agave fields, Tequila town, a scenic swing, and the giant Cantaritos party near Guadalajara.
“This tour left us kinda disappointed. We ended up running behind schedule because the tour guide ended up spending more time at the distillery bar rather than moving on to the downtown area of Tequila which made the rest of us not have enough time to shop around the area before heading to Cantaritos. We didn’t eat until 3 Pm, and the food we had in Tequila was not the worth the money either. The only good thing was that we were able to stay longer at Cantaritos and we had our table reserved with our own waiter without having to wait in the long lines.”

“My sister and I had a truly wonderful time on this tour, and Fernando was an absolute highlight of the experience. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and kind, making the entire day both enjoyable and enriching. There is so much to see and learn on this tour—from fascinating architecture to vibrant murals—and Fernando brought each stop to life with his insights. I also had the chance to try Tejuino for the first time, which I personally loved! I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore and understand the local culture more deeply. I’m so grateful to have met Fernando and to have shared this memorable experience with such…”

Walk from Colonia Americana to Guadalajara’s historic center with Diego, visiting churches, markets, plazas, and Museo Cabañas.
“Diego was awesome and extremely knowledgeable about the historic sites we visited. He was extremely accommodating and at no time, did we feel pressured to move at a faster pace. During the time we were there. an issue with international cell service caused us to be "disconnected" outside of hotel WiFi. He helped us find a place to remedy the issue, so we had cell service during the rest of our stay. Diego is also excellent in keeping in touch with you. We chose to do this tour as a couple and that was one of the best decisions we have made compared to other tours elsewhere we have taken…”

“Nice drive south of Guadalajara, cool to see the lake and lake shore. Actually a 3 not a 5 star. Stopped at places just ro buy things. Guide and driver wer very nice. The restaurant we were taken to had good food but an unpleasantly loud band, attacked by seagulls while eating and I couldn't wait to leave. The towns had great shops and galleries however.”
