Best tour money can buy - I highly recommend this tour to everyone I had the best experience in visiting many different locations in one day and our tour guide Jesus was the best tour guide I've ever had. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and punctual. I couldn't ask for a better tour guide so I highly recommend you request Jesus on any of your tours in Jalisco

Great Day Sightseeing (and Drinking) Across Jalisco - We had a great time on this tour! We were one of the first visitors to Guachimontones and had the entire site nearly all to ourselves. The guide they connected us with at Guachimontones was very knowledgeable and gave us a much richer understanding of the site. La Fortaleza was a unique experience compared to all of the other enormous tequila factories in the area. Throughout the entire experience, our driver Ricardo gave us some great info on the area and other local points of interest. He also gave us suggestions for changes to our itinerary to really help us get the most out of this day trip. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see multiple different aspects of Jalisco in a single day.
