Private Tequila Tour: Craft Distillery, Tasting, And Mexican Bbq

Did the private tequila tour with a small group of friends with Humberto as our guide. Humberto was extremely knowledgable and personable (in English and in Spanish) which led to a lot of great tequila, some excellent food, and a little bit of singing in some of the most beautiful places in Jalisco. Would absolutely recommend!

We had such an amazing time! Will do again!

Excellent experience. Fernando was knowledgable, spoke English very well, was flexible and accommodating. El Morro was also a great guide. We appreciated the relaxed nature of the tour and the personable experience. Would recommend to anyone who has a passion for tequila and wants more depth than most other tours. Worth the extra cost.

Excellent visit to Cava De Oro with tons of interesting information and amazing tasting experience. Also had a great recommendation for lunch in Tequilla, which we enjoyed.

Great communication. Easy process to purchase. The tour guide was super knowledgeable, friendly and respectful. The distilleries were awesome. The driver was excellent..

Fernando was great at putting the tour together for us. Our tequila expert was very knowledgeable in the chemistry and history of making tequila.

Jessie, our guide, was amazing! He was very knowledgeable, flexible and fun! The distilleries we stopped at were great and it opened our eyes in a good way to Tequila. Thank you Jessie and Viator, great day

David Arce was an excellent guide and he is also a dedicated family man and intelligent entrepreneur. He showed us the hidden gems of Mexico that people rarely get to see. Although Mexico suffers from violence, there is so much culture, community, and resilience in the Mexican people that David showed us. Additionally, there are so many beautiful nature treks near the Lake Chapala area where we got to see the beauty and kindness of the indigenous culture.

Excellent private tour with the best tour guide, Fernando (the driver was amazing too, sorry dont have his name)!! He was very knowledgeable about the history as well as the process. Our goal was to have a real conversation and learn and he exceeded our expectation. We were not there to get drunk but to experience the most amazing artisanal Tequilas far from the tourist mess. We are Cava de Oro fans and the visit was absolutely amazing

Fernando and Polo were amazing tour guides. They picked us up from the hotel right on time and communicated with me prior to their arrival. They had waters and sodas waiting for us in the van. It was about an hour drive from Guadalajara to the first distillery. Fernando explained the entire tequila distilling process to us, easily answered all of our questions and was extremely knowledgable. Fernando and Polo taught us how to properly taste tequila and made sure everyone was having a good time. They gladly took any photos of our group that we asked. We went to a second distillery, followed by lunch at a local place that they recommended. While our group could speak some Spanish, Fernando easily communicated our needs to the restaurant staff. We ended the tour by visiting some Agave fields. We truly had such a great experience with Fernando and Polo, I would highly recommend this private tour to anyone wanting a more private, hands on experience. If we are ever in Guadalajara again, I will definitely rebook with them!

Our group of four recently enjoyed a tequila tour guided by Fernando, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Fernando's knowledge of tequila and its history was impressive, and his ability to adapt the tour to our interests ensured that it was engaging for everyone in our party. Throughout the tour, Fernando ensured that our group had a private and intimate experience. He carefully managed our time at each stop so that we could savor the tastings and engage in meaningful conversations. His friendly and approachable manner made it easy for us to ask questions and feel comfortable throughout the day. Fernando's expertise, adaptability, and attentiveness made our tequila tour a truly memorable experience. We would like to extend our thanks to both Fernando and our driver (Polo?) for a fantastic day of learning and discovery. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to delve into the world of tequila – you won't be disappointed!

We had an incredible experience at the distilleries as well as in the town of Tequila. Our guide Chava was the best. We highly recommend this tour

David, our private tour guide, was courteous, professional and very knowledgeable about Tequila’s growth & production as well as the town’s history. We thoroughly enjoyed the distilleries we visited, and the taste testings. The distilleries are medium to smaller in production size which allowed more time to know their products. At the larger distilleries, you would not have that luxury. We highly recommend this tour with David! 10 Stars rating!!

Our group had a great time visiting Tequila with these experts. All of the tastings were excellent and we got to experience the Tequila making process and local culture in an interactive way. David was an excellent guide and made sure the group continuously had fun throughout the day, modifying plans as needed to ensure everything we wanted was totally acommodated. Would strongly recommend this tour.

The tour was awesome! Fernando is very knowledgeable not only about tequila and the distilling process but also about history of the area. We had a tight timeline and he worked around our schedule which was amazing! He took us to the most fabulous lunch spot, which had very authentic carnitas. I highly recommend the tour!! Truly such an amazing day!!!

From the day we arrived, the service was incredible. Polo picked us up from and to the airport on time. The next morning we toured a couple of Tequila distilleries. It was a fun and memorable experience. The following day we enjoyed a tour of Guadalajara and Tlaquepaque. Fernando is very knowledgeable and shared a lot of history and fun facts about the places we visited. I would highly recommend Fernando, Polo and Eduardo at Jalisco Trip for your next visit to Guadalajara!

We had a great time with Fernando and Polo. My boyfriend hurt his knee before the trip and they were both so careful and considerate to make sure we went at our own pace but still received the full experience. Both were super nice and empathetic and most importantly, super knowledgeable! We were lucky enough to meet one of the owners of a local tequila and the owner of one of the distilleries. They also gave us so many wonderful recommendations for local places and even checked in on us after the tour was over. Definitely a great experience and we’ll be using them again on our next trip out here! Gracias Fernando y Polo! Fue un placer conocerlos! An added note: we had the tour in both English and Spanish since my boyfriend only speaks English with minimal Spanish understanding.

Our guide Fernando and our driver were excellent! On time, very knowledgeable, professional we had a great day with them! I highly recommend them, one of the best outings of our trip! Splurge and get the private tour...

This tour with Fernando was the best tiur I have ever been on . He and his driver "William" not only knew yhe land and the people but were well versed in the history , politics and economic issues of the land, the peppke and tequila. Very impessive!!!

Fernando was actually a few minutes early picking us up for our tour. The moment we began our trip in a private van for the 5 of us, Fernando was very flexible. If need be, stop to get breakfast (it’s important to have something in your belly before you begin tasting!). We had already eaten, so we were on our way. That’s when great conversation began. We learned about the different areas of Guadalajara and then the tequila we would be tasting. We went to two different, boutique distilleries and learned about the entire process, from planting to bottling to exporting. We even learned a great technique for tasting! After our second tasting, Fernando asked if we’d like to go to a traditional market for lunch. We had some great local food and even a mariachi serenade! There was was an option for a third tequileria after our mini tour of the adorable town of Tequila. Our 20-somethings were pooped out, so we opted to head back. It was sunset, so Fernando even offered to stop near an agave field for a pic for the parents (the only ones willing to get out of the car at that point). Overall, it was a fantastic trip that we definitely recommend to family and friends! Oh, and if you’re curious, Fernando’s command of English is excellent!

Fernando and Guillermo were amazing. Fernando had researched and studied the tequila industry extensively and has developed very deep relationships with the owners. We went to Cava de Oro and Casa Marengo, which are both Artisanal Distilleries. Both visits were excellent and educational. We learned so much more on our full-day adventure than just tequila. We were never rushed in the least and feel like we develop new friends.

Fernando (our guide) and Guillermo (our driver) created a memorable day for us. The 2 tequila distillery visits were excellent and educational. We learned so much more on our full-day adventure than just tequila. We were never rushed in the least. And we enjoyed the pulque as well ! We loved the small town of Tequila ~ it was beautiful and lively. Our lunch stop was really good as well. Muchas gracias, Fernando y Guillermo!

I booked this tour for a group of friends over Thanksgiving weekend. It was our first time in Tequila country, and it was exactly what we wanted. Fernando was a great guide, along with Rocio. It truly was a private tour experience - we didnt encounter any other groups. We moved at our own pace and Fernando adjusted the itinerary accordingly. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend the private tasting tour with Fernando. Excellent off the tourist path tequila tastings and lunch. He’s very knowledgeable about the entire production process and the area.

I have been on many tours covering diverse locations -- this tour with Fernando as our guide was the best I have been on!! There were 9 of us -- mostly chemists -- and Fernando was extremely knowledgeable about the technical details of tequila production yet presented them in a highly informative and interesting format. He came to our place on time. When we mentioned that we had been to one of the distilleries listed on the day's itinerary he seamlessly and immediately changed course and took to one we had not been to. Just an all around great day in a beautiful part of the world. A great value for the money and a must for any serious tequila lover that wants to bypass the more commercial distilleries for the smaller artisanal ones.

I highly recommend this tour! Fernando and Memo are amazing guides. You have a truly private tour so they are able to tailor the experience to your specific taste and style as you go. We learned all about the history of tequila and saw the inner workings of multiple tequlerias, got to sample a variety of tequilas, saw the town of tequila and are amazing local fare. I can’t say enough positive things about this experience!!

Three amigos from California had a great experience on this tour. Fernando's knowledge of the tequila making process improved our knowledge and appreciation forTequila. Private tour is the way to go if you want the full experience! Thanks Fernando!

My family and I loved our Tequila tour!! Fernando is passionate and very knowledgeable about Tequila and the Tequila making process. He was a wonderful guide. I love that he took us to some of the lesser know distilleries. I enjoyed supporting these smaller but amazing companies. Fernando and the driver were very flexible accommodating throughout the day. Fernando communicated with me prior to the trip, and they showed up right on time. I appreciate their punctuality, as that isn’t always the case In Mexico! Great experience overall!

Fernando was an excellent tour guide! Very attentive and informative. He answered all our questions and went above and beyond to help accommodate our special needs. The tequila was fantastic and our visit to the distilleries was a wonderful experience. Highly recommend to anyone who wishes to learn more about this great spirit.

I very rarely leave reviews good or bad, but I definitely feel the need to take a few minutes to leave a review for this trip. My husband and I came to Jalisco for our anniversary, and because we love to drink Tequila and are connoisseurs of it, we wanted to visit some distilleries. We booked this trip, not sure what to expect. Fernando wa our guide, and I can not say enough good things about him. All of the previous reviews of him are 100% true. Fernando is very knowledgeable and educated about Tequila and the process. He has a very strong passion for this amazing spirit and it shows.. He taught us a lot of information we did not know, especially regarding the history of the drink and the blue agave . We never felt rushed or herded like typical tours. Fernando took us to a great place for lunch, and also gave us a good tour of the central town of Tequila, where he introduced us to one of my knew favorite drinks, the Cantarito! We highly recommend this tour, and Fernando as your guide. Professional and passionate about what he does, I think we've got a friend for life.

I highly recommend this tour with Fernando. We were pucked up from our place in Guadalajara. Grandson spoke only English, niece and husband mostly Spanish. Fernando was able to easily go between the two languages to explain Tequila. He was very accommodating and even though my husband was born and raised in Guadalajara, we went to distilleries he had no idea were there. We all learned a lot about tequila and never felt rushed or concerned bout safety. Everyone at rhe distilleries know Fernando and were very kind and willing to let us ask questions and showed us around. It is obvious they are proud of what they do. Thank you very much Fernando.

Excelente trip!!! Fernando knew his stuff and was very friendly and easy going. Would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to visit, learn and explore the magical town of Tequila.

This private tour exceeded my expectations. The guides were very flexible as to what we wanted to see. They were very knowledgable in all things tequila and most importantly they support locals.

From the first minute to the end of the tour Fernando and Polo were great and made sure that we were always taken care of! This is the best tour we have been on! Very educational and fun. They adjust the tour to your interests and what you want to see. Already planning to come back and book these guys again in the future!

My favorite part of this tour was the distillery's I had no idea existed. Our tour guide Fernando helped me and taught me a lot about Tequila, the origins and how it is made. I really recommend this trip for people who like drinking tequila. When making the tour I suggest asking for Fernando. Amazing person and the is willing to work with you on places you want to visit

my friend and i had an incredible time on this tour. francisco is the tequila expert, he is incredibly knowledgable about the region, tequila, and everything else you'd want to know. We went to a big distillery I hadn't even heard of before, and a small artisanal distillery, and they were both so cool. highly recommend this to anyone who wants a fun, great experience that covers pretty much everything you could ever want.

Fernando was one, if not the only, tour I found available on Christmas Eve and lucky for us! He and his driver Polo picked us up promptly at our hotel and headed out to the tequila valley. His English is excellent, he has considerable knowledge not only of the tequila industry but of Mexican history. We stopped at a boutique distillery, and more medium (and touristy) distillery, the town of Tequila, and an agave field. He talked us through every step of the tequila making process and also how to appreciate a tequila tasting. In Tequila, He showed us where to get an authentic Mexican lunch. They were so helpful and changed the tour slightly to accommodate us, also helped us with a completely unrelated issue. Definitely use Fernando if you appreciate history, tequila, and local culture!

We had a great time with Fernando. He is very knowledgeable about tequila and you can tell he enjoys sharing his knowledge . He is also just a very fun and nice guy.

Our private tour with Fernando and our driver Polo was awesome! Fernando is extremely knowledgeable in the process and culture of tequila. He speaks great English and makes it very fun and welcoming to ask any questions! We went to craft distilleries which we throughly enjoyed since we got to be up close with the processes and more private tastings. We then went to the city of Tequila where he taught us about the history and showed us great food. He also let us explore on our own after. Don’t forget to look out for the agave beer! Overall an excellent experience!

This is a personalized tour to premium tequila producers. Our day began with a timely pickup at our hotel by our guide Fernando and our driver Toño. Fernando proved to be very knowledgeable about the tequila production process and also about the history of the area. He is bilingual and was able to transmit his knowledge in a fun and easy to understand way. As part of the tour we also visited the charming town of Tequila where there are ample options to taste local food. Thanks Fernando for a fun learning experience!

I booked the private Tequila tour with Fernando and had a great day. We visited a couple of distilleries and Fernando’s knowledge of the Tequila industry and the history was amazing - so much knowledge- he has a real passion for what he does. Then we went on to the beautiful town of Tequila for a relaxing lunch and a tour of the town - again accompanied by Fernando’s insights. It was a great day and I would highly recommend it !

Our private day trip to Tequila was terrific. Fernando was a great guide: knowledgeable, enthusiastic, curious, well-versed in tequila and Mexican culture and sociology and more. Plus an excellent English speaker. Very good distilleries and tastings. The Town of Tequila is also well worth the visit. Our highest recommendation. 5 stars for sure.

This was an amazing experience! The information that was provided by the guide, Fernando, was top notch. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in tequila and the process. We visited two local distilleries, tasted MANY kinds of tequila, and felt very comfortable asking any question to Fernando, who was extremely knowledgable about the region and tequila. It is sure to be a tour I take many other visitors on.

Experience highly recommended. Both the driver and our guide Sergio made our tour more than pleasant. We visited distilleries with premium Tequilas tasting, well advised at all times, and in Tequila village we ate at the local market, very lively and good food.

Very good experience, everything very well organized and planned. Very good teamwork between Chava and Polo, they made the ride very pleasant. The two tequila houses that we visited help a lot to contrast types of bases and flavors. The private tour is highly recommended

I loved Fernando and Polo are excellent in the customer service and how they explain the whole route to you the truth that we are going super happy and eager to repeat again
