Very Fun - Excellent tour, we were at Vicente Fernández's Hacienda and his store, then we went to a tequila and liqueur tasting at Casa Calera, they took us to have lunch at Arcas restaurant on the shore of Lake Chapala, upon finishing we took a boat ride on the lake, from there to the very picturesque town of Ajijic, and we finished with the town of Chapala, thanks to the guide Javi with his energy and good service we had a great time

Wonderful trip and experience!!! - Javier is the absolute best and we loved this trip! He is a great driver, has a wonderful sense of humor, and helped make the trip so much fun! The only thing we didn't care for was the restaurant where we stopped for lunch and do suggest they find a new one. I highly recommend this trip, it is a fun-filled day!!

Worth the Experience - Such a fun and scenic experience. Our guide, Javi, knows his stuff. He shared great insights of the locations visited and offered to assist finding anything we desired. The trip is concentrated about an hour from the city center and the ride can be a bit bumpy, but well worth it. The towns were relaxing and beautiful to wander around in. I traveled solo and wanted to join a small group of others and this was a great option. Overall there were two couples and two solo travelers. If you want a day trip to escape the city, this is your best bet. Drink lots of tequila and ask lots of questions. Guaranteed good time! Total time was 10:30-7pm take-off to return.

Good option - The experience was good, we were late leaving and perhaps we lacked some explanation of the places Even so, the guide was very good and the places were fine

Wrong expectation - Anyone who would like to go for a walk somewhere else and loves to shop, e.g., for souvenirs, is in the right place here. Anyone who expects in-depth information or a guided tour through Ajijic or Chapala expects too much. Unfortunately, we had the wrong expectations.

The price is not equivalent to the experience - We couldn't get into the Rancho de los Tres Potrillos :( The restaurant they took us to didn't have good flavor and is expensive, besides the fact that they leave you there for a long time, time that could be used to explore the place more calmly or do other activities. The lake is beautiful, walking along the boardwalk is very nice but they left us between 50 and 40 minutes, honestly it is not enough time to get to know the sites. Despite that, the guide is very attentive, kind, and has a great attitude.

Tequila tasting part of the tour needs alot of improvement!! - The tequila tasting was held in a run down property. That place needs to be cleaned up. I recommend paying a little more for a better quality tequila tasting.

Think twice before booking. Your booking can be cancelled - DO NOT BOOK with this company. I was cancelled on the day of the tour due to lack of more bookings. It is not a reliable tour company. I received a called from Juan Pablo the assigned tourist guide the night before the tour to let me know there was no other reservations besides mine and if no one booked between then and the next morning the tour had to be canceled. I just don’t appreciate this kind of situation. I had to improvise and change plans.
