Recommended experience - The tour was excellent in several things. We could learn the whole process of creating tequila in different stops or seasons, the process of agave and then distillation. We had the traditional tasting and had from Guia to Ramon which was exceptional throughout the tour. A recommended tour.

Fun in Tequila - Had a great time! The car was on time, comfortable and the guide knowledgeable. We made two stops a really good tasting at the first one and the Jose Cuervo tour is really great with lots of details of the whole process and history.

The tour can use some improvement - This tour served more as a transportation service to tequila than as a tour guide of the city of tequila. We were picked up from our hotel and transported via a van to the meet up location, where we meet with the other tour takers. On the 30 minute drive to our first stop there was a brief overview (10 min) of the different kinds of tequila (silver, añejo, etc). We then stopped in a field of agaves where they walked us through the planting, caretaking and harvesting of the agaves. We were given about 10 minutes to take pictures and then we headed out to the next stop, a tequila distillery. They gave us a ~25 minute tour on how the distillery processes the agave to produce tequila. And then we were given a tasting of about 5-6 different tequilas. After the tasting we had some time (~20min) to walk around to purchase tequila produced there. We then headed of to the city of tequila where the tour guide dropped the tour group off in the city center and announced that she would meet with us again at the same location in about 1.5 hours. I feel like this would have been a great opportunity for the tour guide to walk us around and provide some historical facts or stories about the city of tequila however they left us on our own to walk around and to find a place for lunch. After we meet up again the tour guide walked us into the jose cuervo building and left us with the jose cuervo staff. We then parted again with the tour guide while the jose cuervo staff showed us around the interior of the building and met up with the tour guide after the jose cuervo staff had shown us around. Our tour guides then took us back to our hotels. I feel like the tour part of this TripAdvisor trip ended after the distillery tour and served more as a means of transportstion to tequila from guadalajara, since we were left on our own in the tequila city center. I do want to note that there are cheaper methods of transportation to tequila. To improve this tour service they should provide details about the rich history of tequila city while we are there and they should not rely on other tour guides to complete this experience.

One good distillery, don’t go to Jose Cuervo - The first distillery stop was amazing, but the Jose Cuervo distillery was a waste of time. We ended up not leaving Tequila until 5 and traffic was so bad it took 3 hours to get back. So beware that this tour can actually take 11 or 12 hours.
