A day of culture & fun! - The tour was exactly as described and more! Octavio was wonderful and very friendly, knowledgeable, personable, and a great driver. We appreciated the local cultural experiences, information and details, as well as the beauty in the towns we visited. We had great conversation between stops, found a lot of common interests and enjoyed a great selection of music in the car. We loved the food places he took us to and even the little side attractions along the way.
Our tour was a few days after Xmas so it was a busy holiday time and Octavio was patient and understanding with traffic and a lot of people. We can’t thank him enough for making our day awesome! Definitely a better tour option than the others. Even after the tour, Octavio gave food recommendations based on earlier conversations in the car and that was such an “above & beyond” service that I have never received from other tour operators.
We traveled with 4 adults and a child and everyone had a great time and was given attention to - all inclusive service for the whole family!
BOOK THIS TOUR! You won’t regret it!

Great tour guide and private driver. - I was looking for a driver for our trip on 12/15/25. I came across Octavio's post and contacted him. He provided me his car insurance, INE, and his license to ensure we felt safe hiring him. Octavio was our driver for 4 days while visiting GDL, Arandas, Tequila and surrounding areas. He was reliable, on time, and very trustworthy. He waited for us while we were on our tours making it easy for us to travel from place to place with piece of mind. If you are a foody, he has some great local gems to eat at as well. He also took us to places of interest that were not on our agenda. I would recommend Octavio.

Excellent experience, as a bonus we took to Rancho de Vicente Fernández - Excellent treatment, you know every point visited, Tonala had breakfast, in Chapala we ate and tasted the famous Charal, makes recommendations of places to eat, and as an extra bonus took us to the Rancho the 3 colts of Vicente Fernández, complete the experience with a Sweet bread and a freshly baked Salt Birote, it is not a conventional tour, it is an experience as if you were his Familiar, Octavio an excellent host, native of Guadalajara.
