Private Full-Day Tour to Tequila and Guachimontones

This was a fun day! Packed with a tour of the pyramids. Perfect for going with my 13 year old. And we were able to customize our day in tequila with a private driver which was great. Our driver was on time and very personable and we felt very safe.

We were personally led on this tour by Juan. His enthusiasm and knowledge was outstanding and professional. His English was perfect and he was able to communicate nuances and describe all facets of history and myth associated with the unique circular pyramids. A fantastic tour all around! Highly recommend!!!

I’m extremely grateful to the Irazú Travel Club and my guide Renzo for this activity! Normally the tour requires a minimum of two people but I’m here for work by myself and they made an exception. They also politely forewarned me that they only had a Spanish-speaking guide and asked if this was okay, and I agreed. My Spanish is basic and while I couldn’t have extended conversations with Renzo, we managed to get by and he was very patient and understanding. He’s an excellent driver and knowledgeable about the areas surrounding Guadalajara, taking me through the sugar cane fields to Guachimontones. The site is magnificent! The hike up from the museum is very steep but short and the views are spectacular. My distillery tour was at Tres Mujeres, a small artisanal facility and it’s fantastic! The showroom, cellars, the underground tasting room and surrounding agave fields are amazing. We then stopped at Cantaritos Cheche’s for a drink, another awesome stop that’s popular with locals. They have a large open patio and there was even a mariachi band performing but be warned, they free pour so if you’re a lightweight like me one drink if more than enough. We stopped once more for lunch before heading into Tequila itself. It’s picturesque but very touristy. The Jose Cuervo distillery has three tours a day that run 90 minutes, but the only English tour is at 11am so I skipped it. I’ll go back in the future because it seems like the kind of place that’s better to explore with friends rather than doing it solo. It was a lot to see in one day but worth it, especially with someone like Renzo to guide you along. Definite recommendation!
