If you’re looking for high-quality small-batch artisanal tequila away from the crowds, don’t look further! We'll take you to two of the most exclusive distilleries in the Valley, those that no other tours are willing to splurge on. Distilleries that are rich in history and that were born on the principle that the best agave plants, time-honored techniques, and great attention to detail can produce extraordinary results. We'll pick you up at 9.30 and we'll have a very local breakfast that'll get you ready for the day. On our way, we'll stop at a beautiful field where I'll tell you all about the cultivation process and how it affects the taste of your tequila. We’ll visit the best of the best family-run artisanal distilleries, where you’ll get a very generous taste of what tequila is supposed to be like. And of course, we'll stop at Tequila’s main square, where you’ll have time to explore the town, enjoy lunch, or indulge in an extra tequila tasting.
Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Cooler with drinks and snacks for the day, Entrance to two distilleries, Tequila tastings

I really like the Fernanda's tour. She's so passionate about what she is doing. She told us a lot of interesting facts about street art which we would never know without her! All of them are unique and memorable. A special thanks to our guide for her charming persona and beautiful eyes. Especially now that we are all in masks, eyes are really a "mirror of the soul", as we, Russians, say.

This a very customized and helpful trip to take. It will be helping the multiple talented artisans in Jalisco by giving them more exposure. There are a number of artisan villages that fail to achieve the recognition they deserve. The originality of the artists is impressive and the value of multiple purchases being shipped to you is beyond convenient. Very eye-opening trip and I would do it again.
5. Private Tequila Tour By Mickey Marentes

The private version offers you: exclusive visit to different distilleries than the ones visited on the group tour, more flexibility, personalized attention, no waiting on the rest of the group and a schedule tailored to your needs. This tour is ideal for couples and small groups of friends, family and co-workers. Wedding Anniversary, honeymoon, birthday, bachelor(ette) party - whatever your reason to celebrate, we can help make your special occasion even more memorable! Both distilleries visited are family-owned and have long standing tradition of producing tequila; one was established in 1904. Once in a while, you may have the chance to meet the producers or distillery owners and exchange with them. The Tour is all-yours: photo stops, breaks and return time are at your convenience. Most importantly, you have the guide’s full attention; there’s no “sharing” with other people!
Inclusions: Lunch, Private transportation, Bottled water, Alcoholic Beverages
Exclusions: Gratuities

I had an excellent experience on a private tour for my girlfriend and I with our guides, Melissa and Tony. They are very friendly people and very familiar with the area which means that they can show you the hidden gems in your tour that not every tourist gets to see. Melisa is fluent in both English and Spanish, therefore I enjoyed communicating with a local in my native language...”Spanglish”...lol. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great experience and learn about the culture. I took the tour to Tequila with them. I had an opportunity to go inside different tequila distilleries and understand the process behind the tequila bottles that we all know. It was very educational, I learned about the different styles of tequilas, including a different trend of “crystal” tequila. I feel that know I can claim to be an expert on tequila... or at least I am certain they will think I am with everything I learned on this trip. I had lots of fun with my girlfriend and our guide.

The best tequila tour available. The more commercial tours take you to the boring places. Giancarlo's tour takes you to the real authentic distillery's that have been operating for years. He is very knowledgeable and great at entertaining. This was a great time and the best tequila I've ever had!

My wife & I visited our daughter who lives & works in Guadalajara the first week of February 2021. Daughter had to work during the week so I went to the TripAdvisor website two days before my wife & needed something to do. We selected and signed up for the half day Guachimotones Pyramid tour. A total of $78 was posted to our credit card. That evening we got an email from tripadvisor saying that tour is of a State run museum that was closed due to the pandemic. As an alternative, the email suggested a day long tour to include brunch at a Hacienda on the way to other not yet State run and commercial pyramids in the area and then on to Tequila Town to tour a local privately owned distillery in addition to the town itself. My wife & I agreed. Alex & Rodriguez picked us up at our airB&B about 9:30 am in a nice clean privately owned vehicle – I think it was Rodriguez’s because he drove and Alex did most of the talking. So it was just the four of us. They were nice, both spoke fluent English and had plenty of hand sanitizer and bottled water. We did wear our masks while riding in the car. Alex & Rodriguez were awesome! We thoroughly enjoyed lunch at the Hacienda El Carmen. Alex obviously knew his way around in addition to the local history & politics taking us (walking) down dirt roads (paths) that no one-else was on or seemed to know about to both pyramids and Aztec temples. We then went on to Tequila stopping at a locally owned & operated distillery – again that few other tourists seemed to be interested in – on the out-skirts of town. We took a self guided and un-chaperoned tour of the operation and sampled some of the finished product before departing. We, however, chose not to purchase any at the distillery’s store as we normally do not drink alcohol and it’s difficult to get back to the US. We then went on into Tequila and parked to stroll around the historic and beautiful little town with Alex pointing out high-lights and answering any questions along the way. Finally, we headed back to Guadalajara and were dropped off back at our place about 5 pm. It was the BEST tour we have ever been on! That’s saying something as we have been on such tours all over north America and Europe. Before departing, we gave them a well deserved generous tip. We suspect that they spoiled us because business was still slow due to the pandemic but, would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a guided tour of Guadalajara’s surrounding attractions. The photo is of tour-guide Alex and driver Rodriguez next to our ride for the day.
