Picturesque and very entertaining tour. - The tour was very entertaining and picturesque. We went on this tour to see the 3 Potrillos ranch, but the additional destinations and stops were very good. The attention from our guide Santia Novia was great; she always had an excellent attitude and was ready to help with whatever was necessary. I would rate the service at the restaurant recommended for lunch; the waiter had a rude attitude, as if we were asking for things for free. But the food was good and the facilities are wonderful. Recommended plan to get to know these destinations and towns. Keep in mind that there is little time if you like to go shopping.

Take the tour! - We had an amazing time on this tour! The vibes and locations were absolutely awesome. Everything was well organized, and the experience was both interesting and fun. Our tour guide, Carmen, was the best! She was knowledgeable and made the whole experience even better with her energy and explanations. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and driver. 100% Highly recommend this tour!

Promises Delivered - We had a great tour guide who spoke both English and Spanish. The tour was everything promised and our driver did a superb job navigating the narrow roads in the towns. We had a wonderful time.

Very nice - Ronny was very knowledgeable about the history of Mexico, Guadalajara, the towns we visited and Vicente Fernandez. Unfortunately the Tres Potrillos ranch was closed and we were very disappointed. The place that we stopped at for lunch was delicious!

Good. - I have mixed feelings. I bought the tour because it appeared that the entrance to Tres Potrillos was included and my mom and I wanted to go. And then we arrive before 11 o'clock which is the time they open to the public:( . But very friendly driver and cute little villages.
