Explore Jalisco’s tequila country with breakfast, two distilleries, eight tastings, agave views, Tequila Town, and local cocktails.
“This tour starts off with a great local breakfast and you'll surely need it. This is a day of tasting some great Tequila. Andrea was great. She explained the distillation process from start to finish and what goes into to making a great Tequila on to the best way to consume it. I left the tour with a better appreciation of each style from the Blonco to the extra Anjeo and what to pair them with. We got a chance to cruise around Tequila town and finish the tour at the well known spot El Guero. Don't pass up on this tour.”

Review of the 7-hour Tequila tour from Guadalajara, with agave fields, José Cuervo, tastings, town time, transport, costs, and practical tips.
“First - Ramon was excellent. Great communication for the pick up at the hotel. The explanations and answering questions was much appreciated. Tequila is a beautiful little town. The three stops - the blue agave field, Selecto Distillery and Jose Cuervo tour were informative and entertaining. Many tastings and explanation of how best to taste. Just a really great day. Be prepared, bring snacks and water as they are not provided. (Except at the very beginning). It can be pretty hot so dress lightly. The roads are extremely bumpy and especially on a holiday weekend like I went - the traffic was horrendous. (Roman did his best to navigate around)”

Tour Tequila from Guadalajara with agave views, five tastings, mariachi lunch, Pueblo Mágico streets, and lively Cantaritos El Guero.
“Pros: reasonable price, friendly guide, convenient transportation to pick up at hotels Cons: guides available basically only in Spanish(the guide made efforts to give explanation also in English, but information unfortunately quite limited), very redundant itinerary(more than 10 hours spent due to too much pick-up at different locations for the large group and many stops at tourist traps incl. stopping twice at the same restaurant for both ways)”

The tequila tasting was amazing paired with different foods. The best part was the Cantaritos de Guero at the end with the giant tequila drinks and live music! Had a great time and highly recommend to anyone visiting Guadalajara”

Explore Tequila from Guadalajara with agave fields, distillery tours, tastings, hotel pickup, and a small group capped at 16 people.
“Nice tour, nice insight into Tequila making. Good atmosphere among the guests, friendly and competent driver (Charlie). The only negative thing (and the reason for the rating): I booked and paid for the tour from/to my hotel. Pickup from the hotel in the morning with a taxi was fine, upon return, I was left in the city on my own, the driver stating my hotel is too far away from the city. If you are not willing to deliver pickup/drop off service to there, just don't sell it.”

“Our tour with Daniel was a highlight of our Guadalajara trip: we learned, we laughed, we ate and drank while touring the beautiful countryside and small towns of the Tequila region. Daniel went above and beyond to provide a unique experience for us, stopping along the way to introduce us to pre-columbian beverages and taking us directly into an agave farm to meet a jimador and try our hand at agave pina harvesting. The tour was intimate with only one other couple along. Highly recommend!”
