This day trip was the whole enchilada! - We had a driver and a tour guide, Ramon, who is very knowledgeable about tequila. We were picked up at our hotel at 8:30 and our 1st stop was the Campo Agavero Ribeño agave fields in Amititan, where we were presented with a session on the agave growing process, then given a tasting of the some ery good artisinal tequilas. We then visited an artisinal tequila distiller, "Los Tres Tonios," where we had a comprehensive tour of the artisan and modern production facilities followed by an excellent tasting session. We then visited the town of tequila for a delicious lunch. I wish we had a bit more time to experience the town before our tour of the Jose Cuervo facilities. It was a great tour, but not as intimate and detailed as the one at Los Tres Tonios. The entire trip was 9 hours, with 3 hours on the road. I highly recommend this tour. We took a hotel booked tour to Lake Chapala a few days later and it was awful.

Great tour, highly recommend - Our guide was Hernan he did an excellent job of communicating with us, explaining and educating us not only topics pertinent to the tour but also Mexican culture and the country. He did not rush us and gave us recommendations on a restaurant and what food to order once we arrived in Tequila

Tequila Time - Our tequila tour was absolutely amazing, and our guide Ramon made the entire experience unforgettable! He was funny, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain every step of the process in a way that kept us engaged and entertained. The first stop at a family farm with Roberto was a standout—he walked us through how agave is grown and harvested, and his explanations really brought the process to life. The second part of the tour showed us how agave becomes tequila, and the tasting that followed was elegant, informative, and surrounded by beautiful scenery. Ramon’s presentation was spot-on throughout. The final stop was a tour of the charming city of Tequila itself. Definitely take Ramon’s recommendation for lunch and grab a drink at the pavilion—everything there was excellent. The only thing I’d change would be to allow a bit more free time to shop around town, since the schedule gets tight after lunch. Overall, this tour is a must-do for anyone who wants to see the tequila-making process up close, taste incredible drinks, and learn from passionate guides like Ramon and Roberto!

Great Tequila Tour with Ramon - We had an incredible experience touring the city of Tequila with Ramon! He was amazing—super knowledgeable and made the entire tour so much fun. Ramon gave the tour in English, and his explanations were clear, engaging, and full of interesting details about the history and culture. He also had a great sense of humor, which made everyone feel comfortable and entertained the whole time. If you’re visiting Tequila, I highly recommend booking a tour with Ramon—you’ll learn a lot and have a great time doing it!

Everything was running yesterday.... - Everything was running yesterday. They picked us up at 10:15. No one called us, and when I wrote, they told us to be downstairs right away, and that was at 9:30 AM. The bus was full, so we had to sit apart. Then we arrived at the first distillery for the tasting, and we couldn't stay because we had to rush to José Cuervo to be there by 3. Then they told us that at 5:40 PM sharp, we would leave for Guadalajara, and many people didn't get to eat because the guide stated that we would leave at that time without waiting, but that was not the case. I ended up waiting for some people.

Stood up - I booked the tour well in advance. The tour bus was supossed to pick us up at our hotel. We were waiting outside 15 minutes early and waited 45 minutes. No call no show. Ruined our vacation day. No apologies from the company no offers of restitution. But, they took our money instantly, and when we requested a refund through the app, they said 3-5 business days. What a sham.
