Chapala - The tour followed the itinerary presented in the description. Javi was our charismatic tour guide and he did a fine job providing information of the spots we went to. My suggestions to the tour planner is to cut time from the Ranch and tequila tasting visit by 15 minutes each and add those to Chapala. The town of Chapala is a lovely spot to watch the sunset.

Lake Chapala and Ajijic private tour - Very well organized and delightful day. Our guide Javi was very knowledgeable, kind and open to our schedule. He was very punctual. His English was very good even though we also spoke Spanish.

A pleasant discovery of the Guadalajara region - The tour allows us to get to know the region better and Javis guided us through each step. However, the bus was noisy and uncomfortable Thank you for the explanations and for the cool water.

Charming city of Chapala - When booking the tour it said it was an English tour with a guide. In the end it turned out to be just a driver who only spoke Spanish. But he tried. There's no need to lie about the tour description, even if it says that there's a driver, not a guide, and that the tour isn't offered in English, people will know whether to book under those conditions or not. The trip itself was relatively ok. The walk through the town of Chapala is beautiful, charming.

Do not recommend! - If you are looking to spend a day at Lake Chapala — visiting the towns of Chapala and Ajijic — do not do this tour. This was a complete waste of a day on vacation. The communication was poor from the start; we were told three different times to meet. The tour bus was too small and everyone was complaining about being crammed in like sardines. Our first stop was at a ranch and everyone felt we went only to get people to spend money at their gift shop. Then we went to a distillery and the group stood around doing nothing, wasting time waiting to leave while the tour guide chatted with employees. Then we went to a bad lunch. By the time we finally got to visit the towns, it was close to 4pm and we had maybe 45 minutes at each of the two locations. The guide was fine but the tour was poorly executed and a waste of a day. Find a better tour if you want to explore Chapala and Ajijic!
