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.
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
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
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.
Hi Naveen, it was a pleasure to serve you. We appreciate your incredible review and feedback. We hope to see you soon again. Big hug from Guadalajara!
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
Hi Montserrat. It was a pleasure to be your local guide through the Tequila Valley. You and Emmanuel are very nice people. I appreciate your amazing review and feedback. We look forward to seeing you back at GDL soon!
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!
Hi Tyler, it was a pleasure to be your local guide in the Tequila Valley, we had a great time. I appreciate your amazing feedback and hope to see you again soon!
