Fantastic experience of Lake Chapala and the Magic Town of Ajijic. - We had a fantastic experience visiting Lake Chapala and Ajijic. Our guide Rony was very friendly and knowledgeable. Took his time giving us extensive explanations in local history. Transportation was also very comfortable and safe. I would strongly recommend this tour when you visit Guadalajara.

Chapala- Ajijic - Highly recommended!!! The entire experience with Panoramex is 10/10!!! We took 4 tours with them and all of them were excellent! The Ajijic/Chapala one was super well attended by Norberto and Edgar… the tour is very complete… the way Norberto tells the story of each stop, each church, each hotel is super clear… the food recommendation was at Iguana! Delicious food with that special touch of Guadalajara!!! Definitely recommended with family!!

100/10 highly recommend! - Our tour guide was just amazing. He explained everything in full detail and even shared some of his favorite memories and locations of the beautiful city. Mr. Novia (iykyk) was very friendly and made the experience feel very local and exclusive.

Edgar is the best guide. Tour with beautiful landscapes and with the guide's recommendations you can enjoy it twice as much - The truth is that from the beginning of the Tour, the guide Edgar makes you feel like you are enjoying your tour, in addition to giving information and recommendations about each place so that you enjoy your visit more, one of the best guides I have ever had. The tour is highly recommended if you like to see landscapes. It is ideal for couples, family and friends

Could have been better - Pros: They pick you up and drop you off at your location. Our guide was knowledgeable and flexible. The two towns are beautiful. Cons: The tour description doesn’t say anything about pick up location neither does the email confirmation. I booked it at night and couldn’t get hold of anyone. They called me around 8 am to get my address…the stop at the ranch is useless. Access to almost everything is closed to tourists. You just see some horses from behind fences…I was the only English speaking person on the tour. I had to ask the guide several times to speak in English too. The restaurant that they took us for lunch is nothing special. They could just give us time in Ajijic to eat at the restaurant of our choice.
