We had such a great time on our tequila tour! The entire experience was so much fun, and we really enjoyed exploring the beautiful plaza and learning more about tequila. One of my favorite parts was tasting the cantaritos — absolutely delicious! Such a fun and memorable experience in Tequila, Jalisco. Highly recommend!
We had a driver and a tour guide, Ramon, who is very knowledgeable about tequila. We were picked up at our hotel at 8:30 and our 1st stop was the Campo Agavero Ribeño agave fields in Amititan, where we were presented with a session on the agave growing process, then given a tasting of the some ery good artisinal tequilas. We then visited an artisinal tequila distiller, "Los Tres Tonios," where we had a comprehensive tour of the artisan and modern production facilities followed by an excellent tasting session. We then visited the town of tequila for a delicious lunch. I wish we had a bit more time to experience the town before our tour of the Jose Cuervo facilities. It was a great tour, but not as intimate and detailed as the one at Los Tres Tonios. The entire trip was 9 hours, with 3 hours on the road. I highly recommend this tour. We took a hotel booked tour to Lake Chapala a few days later and it was awful.
Very informative in the short amount of time you have. The day flys by and I wish we had more time to simply enjoy the town of Tequila. Ramon was an excellent tour guide and assured everyone had a great time.
This tour exceeded my expectations, thanks to Ramon. He did a phenomenal job guiding us—his deep knowledge of the sites, combined with engaging storytelling, made every stop meaningful and memorable. I really appreciated how he explained not just what we were seeing, but also the processes behind it, adding an extra layer of insight. His passion and attention to detail made the whole experience truly stand out. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!
I booked the tour well in advance. The tour bus was supossed to pick us up at our hotel. We were waiting outside 15 minutes early and waited 45 minutes. No call no show. Ruined our vacation day. No apologies from the company no offers of restitution. But, they took our money instantly, and when we requested a refund through the app, they said 3-5 business days. What a sham.
Our guide was Hernan he did an excellent job of communicating with us, explaining and educating us not only topics pertinent to the tour but also Mexican culture and the country. He did not rush us and gave us recommendations on a restaurant and what food to order once we arrived in Tequila
Our tequila tour was absolutely amazing, and our guide Ramon made the entire experience unforgettable! He was funny, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain every step of the process in a way that kept us engaged and entertained. The first stop at a family farm with Roberto was a standout—he walked us through how agave is grown and harvested, and his explanations really brought the process to life. The second part of the tour showed us how agave becomes tequila, and the tasting that followed was elegant, informative, and surrounded by beautiful scenery. Ramon’s presentation was spot-on throughout. The final stop was a tour of the charming city of Tequila itself. Definitely take Ramon’s recommendation for lunch and grab a drink at the pavilion—everything there was excellent. The only thing I’d change would be to allow a bit more free time to shop around town, since the schedule gets tight after lunch. Overall, this tour is a must-do for anyone who wants to see the tequila-making process up close, taste incredible drinks, and learn from passionate guides like Ramon and Roberto!
We had an incredible experience touring the city of Tequila with Ramon! He was amazing—super knowledgeable and made the entire tour so much fun. Ramon gave the tour in English, and his explanations were clear, engaging, and full of interesting details about the history and culture. He also had a great sense of humor, which made everyone feel comfortable and entertained the whole time. If you’re visiting Tequila, I highly recommend booking a tour with Ramon—you’ll learn a lot and have a great time doing it!
Our guide, Ramon, was amazing! He made our trip wonderful and very interesting. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is looking to learn about the tequila industry in Jalisco.
It was an excellent experience in Tequila, and I especially appreciated our local guide, who shared a wealth of information about both Tequila and Mexico. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the real Mexico.
I totally loved this tour! The guide was very helpful, patient and he was very knowledgeable about the places and the history with a positive attitude. We were picked up at our hotel in the historic downtown and also we were left there when we came back and the tour was very complete, we went to Amatitán to see the blue agaves and to the Jose Cuervo des tillers in Tequila with free time to walk and to the Hacienda Tequilera Los tres Toños. Definitely I’ll do again this same tour when I come back again to Jalisco.
The Jose Cuervo train looked interesting, but as it only runs on weekends we too a mid-day bus tour, which worked out great. We were able to visit an agave field and talk to the owners, a boutique distillery, and finally the Big Dog distillery Jose Cuervo. In many ways the process is similar to the Kentucky bourbon Trail. The transit to and from Tequila is a bit long, one-hour going from Guadalajara and two-hours, (with traffic) returning. Still a very enjoyable and educational day.
Dante our tour guide was awesome. He was so informative about the area, history, culture- anything we asked he was happy to explain. The first distillery was a charming tour. Beautiful buildings. Second distillery was La Rojena- wow what an operation! Tequila town square was small and easy to wander around. We wandered off and it with the locals near the church. Would recommend the trip to anyone.
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)
Very cool tour of the agave fields and tequila factories. I wish we had more time in Tequila, but the guide was very nice and gave very good information.
The places we visite where very interesting. The information I was trying to learn was there, but the tour guide was pretty bad.
The trip to Tequila was a very fun filled and educational day. The two highlights for us were learning how the agave plant is grown and harvested and visiting the artisanal Tequila plant. We learned a lot about the varieties of Tequila and now know what to buy. The trip to the more industrial Jose Cuervo factory was okay, but not really a highlight, especially since the tastings were very limited. Most of the tour attendees were Spanish speakers but the guide did an excellent job of explaining things to the English speakers.
It was an awesome tour, had plenty tequila, every visit was amazing with our tour guide giving us info and answering our questions.
Trip was okay, went to find tequila farm and was very interesting. Very informative. Next went to first distillery and was great. Took us through how tequila is made. , had lots of samples tour guide there was awesome. Went on to Tequila had free time , then went to Jose Cuervo distillery, left after a few minutes , repeat of first distillery.
Excellent tour operator. Great guide, could have had a tiny bit better with his translation of Spanish to English but no problem really what so ever. Comfortable motor coach, excellent driver. Great sites to see and place to eat. I wish I had 2 stomachs because the food at the restaurant in the town of Tequila was amazing. Loved visiting the 2 Tequila plants and the Agave farm.
We had a great time learning about the entire process of making Tequila. The locations that we visited prior to Jose Cuervo distillery were really nice too. Our tour guide Ramon was great and made sure we enjoyed our day.
That you will experience 2 tequila tastings along with explanations as well as a video explaining the process. It felt redundant. We also felt it was too long and maybe that’s because of tours of the facilities. The drive home was close to 2 hours making it a long day.
We had a great experience Don Ramon was very informative with tequila. Answered all my questions. Over all the experience was great and I would do it again.
Great guides, vehicle was impeccably clean. Would recommend this to any family or a couple trip. The best experience in my opinion.
I had an incredible time on the tequila tour! It was not only fun but also very informative. I learned so much about the tequila-making process, from the harvesting of agave to the distillation and aging techniques. The guides were knowledgeable, engaging, and made the experience even more enjoyable. The tasting session was a real highlight, allowing us to appreciate the flavors and craftsmanship behind each tequila. Whether you’re a tequila enthusiast or just curious, this tour is an absolute must-do. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fun, educational, and memorable experience! Don’t miss out!
Very good experience avoiding the crowds and experiencing Tequila. Guides were knowledgeable and very helpful.
Fantastic day trip. Ramon and Alejandro helped us to have an enjoyable and safe. Delivery the service they offer including picking us up and taking us back to hour hotel. The agave field visit was #1 in my list.
This tour is just amazing. The explanation given by Ramon and then by the people at the distillery Selecto were great and in very good detail. They are much better than the tour that you can take at Cuervo.
The tour guide and driver were extremely patient & attentive. My 1st time to Guadalajara & I didn't speak the language, so even with all of my planning, I still had mishaps and wasn't able to eat. They waited for me to arrive & also did a quick OXXO stop for me to grab something quick. Our guide was engaging and personable throughout the tour. She was also very knowledgeable, and the structure of the tour was well thought out, allowing for pictures and questions (didn'tfeel rushed). So, any comments you read about needing improvement because the guide didn't do the entire tour... that's what you would call a private tour. She gave a wonderful presentation and clear directions to keep us on task. It was only 3 of us that day, but I'm sure larger crowds can be a challenge. All involved in explaining the process (in Spanish & English) were professional and attentive to any inquiries. I loved the opportunity to purchase the products we tasted & souvenirs and the great picture taking opportunities in the factories and around the town. I definitely recommend the tour... you'll enjoy it.
Our tour guide did a good job being informative. Our driver did a good job getting us to a from and watching some of our belongings we left on the bus
We had a fun group of about 10 to the beautiful and charming town of Tequila. Our driver, Carlos was amazing and our guide was energetic and helpful with street food tips, but she struggled with English so we missed a lot about the agave farming and tequila distilling details.
We had a wonderful time with my family easy to understand easy to navigate highly recommend recommended
Well spent day! Be ready to get an intense experience but without rush. Beautiful tequileria snd the town of Tequila are gems for photographers. Plus realistic food and energy of our guide Francesca! Wouldn’t get it if you went on your own.
A bit rushed, return takes a couple of hours (2-3h) due to huge traffic to reach the city. It would be better to stay in Tequila for more hours to avoid rush hour in GDL
Great tour guide good explanation ,good tours tequila beautiful sights are some good food.drinks out of this world
All good but dropping area was a disappointment , we were picked up at our hotel. it we dropped about 08 blocks away ,
Our guide and driver were very kind! The trip was fun, informative, and the perfect amount of time. We had a great day!
Very enjoyable tour for those who want to learn about roots of this beverage in a no- rush trip to couple of tequila distilleries where you can sample their products. Highly recommend tequila Selecto distillery and their products. Our tour guide made excellent suggestions where to eat in town of Tequila. They pick you up and drop-off at your hotel which is a plus.
Have your “gaviota” moment at the first stop! If you know, you know! If you have time, go to Cantaritos El Güero on the last stop. Appreciated the hospitality and good vibes from the town .
I thought its supposed to be a English tour but because I'm with a family of 8 who speak mainly Spanish, alot of information was missed out during the trip, thou the guide did try to do some bilingual sharing, I still feel very much short changed and out of place and make my overall experience less pleasant. The operator could be more thoughtful when arranging of such. And when I lost my wrist band (was not informed of the purpose), I need to re pay in order to get into last distillery, which I give it a miss in the end. Lastly, the return journey met with Traffic Jam of over an hour. Thought as a season operator, they should know better how to avoid peak hours (guide says due to off work timing). Of so many Viator tours I had booked, this really give me biggest disappointment yet the most expensive trip.
Great tour!! Loved we stop in Amatitan first !! Tanya was a great guide and very friendly, same as Ramon the driver.
Excellent excursion. The guides spoke both great English and Spanish and we very knowledgeable regarding how tequila is made, along with the history of the distilleries. In addition, my girlfriend and I loved the tequila tasting. We had a great time!
This tour served more as a transportation service to tequila than as a tour guide of the city of tequila. We were picked up from our hotel and transported via a van to the meet up location, where we meet with the other tour takers. On the 30 minute drive to our first stop there was a brief overview (10 min) of the different kinds of tequila (silver, añejo, etc). We then stopped in a field of agaves where they walked us through the planting, caretaking and harvesting of the agaves. We were given about 10 minutes to take pictures and then we headed out to the next stop, a tequila distillery. They gave us a ~25 minute tour on how the distillery processes the agave to produce tequila. And then we were given a tasting of about 5-6 different tequilas. After the tasting we had some time (~20min) to walk around to purchase tequila produced there. We then headed of to the city of tequila where the tour guide dropped the tour group off in the city center and announced that she would meet with us again at the same location in about 1.5 hours. I feel like this would have been a great opportunity for the tour guide to walk us around and provide some historical facts or stories about the city of tequila however they left us on our own to walk around and to find a place for lunch. After we meet up again the tour guide walked us into the jose cuervo building and left us with the jose cuervo staff. We then parted again with the tour guide while the jose cuervo staff showed us around the interior of the building and met up with the tour guide after the jose cuervo staff had shown us around. Our tour guides then took us back to our hotels. I feel like the tour part of this TripAdvisor trip ended after the distillery tour and served more as a means of transportstion to tequila from guadalajara, since we were left on our own in the tequila city center. I do want to note that there are cheaper methods of transportation to tequila. To improve this tour service they should provide details about the rich history of tequila city while we are there and they should not rely on other tour guides to complete this experience.
The tour was amazing, fun, our guide Ramon was nice, patient, taught us a lot about the history of the city. I highly recommend ✨❤️
The first distillery stop was amazing, but the Jose Cuervo distillery was a waste of time. We ended up not leaving Tequila until 5 and traffic was so bad it took 3 hours to get back. So beware that this tour can actually take 11 or 12 hours.
Great tout! You can see really agave farm, learn how the tequila produced and taste all kind of tequila. Also have enough time to explore the Tequila town.
Had a great time! The car was on time, comfortable and the guide knowledgeable. We made two stops a really good tasting at the first one and the Jose Cuervo tour is really great with lots of details of the whole process and history.
Marco is a wonderful tour guide! He is knowledgeable, accommodating, and professional. Will definitely recommend. ✨✨
The guide was not insightful. Did not talk too much. Slept on the bus on the way back. We would like a refund.
