Good day out - Mexican Town like the movies
brett_v
, May 2022
been a good day out - ,Eric the driver and guide was friendly enough and repeated everything in Spanish and English. OK I read the reviews and was concerned but yes the bus was bumping on the roads. and the drive was long but not too long. ith plenty to see and Eric stopped a couple of times for coffee break and taco tasting. we went to main area for history lessons and sight seeing. and some time for gift shopping. then for the included Mexican meal which included soft drink ( pineapple or hipcuss flower drink) then off for tequila tasting. bit tight on the samples and cost too much 70cl bottles were 800 pesos and the stronger stuff was 1200 peso - for over £40 a bottle I will get 2 bottles smirking ff on plane for £25

The tour guide was very nice, but the van’s A/C did not work and there was a screaming baby with one of the couples that was on the tour. The tequila distillery was very short and the town of San Sebastián didn’t have anything to do. The drive there was long and again nothing to see along the route.

What an awesome full day tour! There were so many stops and cultural experiences. Our guide, Thomas, was phenomenal! We learned so much and had a lot of fun! San Sebastián was a quaint, beautiful little town nestled in the mountains. Everyone we met was friendly and kind. I recommend this tour 100%! It is worth every penny you pay!

An enjoyable day spent away from the beach
Terry_M
, Mar 2022
My wife and I enjoyed a very nice day with Eric, our personal driver and tour guide. Eric has lived here for years so knows the area like the back of his hand and speaking very good English, quickly answered any/all questions. My wife has mobility issues, so Eric took great care to assist and we felt very safe in his hands, not to mention his careful driving. While a visit, lunch and a walk around the village of San Sebastian del Oeste was our primary objective we made a number of pleasant stops on our way to and from (for Mexican coffee/breakfast; making/tasting tortillas; a coffee plantation; and a Raicilla tasting (Raicilla is a traditional beverage with about 300 years of history)). Eric made our tour and visit to San Sebastian del Oeste special for us. He was an excellent tour guide! Thank you Eric.

Intentions good, experience not good
ToddPorter
, Feb 2022
While it was no one’s fault, the van broke down in the middle of the mountains, the took off the radiator cap and hot coolant gushed everywhere including on me, tour guide had to climb a hill to get cell service, had to wait for other tour groups to pick us up, so our original group was split into three and crammed into already full vans. And because they split us up, the people in our van were on the other side of the city from us, adding an additional two hours to our trip. What should have been a 6 hour trip was a 9.5 hour trip. They all did the best they could given the circumstances, but the experience was exhausting.

Great trip! Our tour guides Carlos and Noah did a wonderful job. Lots to see, lots to learn. San Sebastián is a beautiful little town with a rich history. The church is beautiful, the jail is not. Seeing it all is a must.

Great day journey to countryside. Excellent family-owned organic blue agave tequila stop, plus coffee & homemade tortillas. Lunch was good. Silver town of San Sebastián small but interesting. Timing 6 hours plus transfers. Ours was 9:30-. 5:30. Ceilo was excellent guide.

Make sure you are physically able/fit to do this trip
Denise_S
, Jan 2022
Interesting and the guide and driver were great but this trip is only for the physically able- anyone with walking difficulties cannot do this trip and so cannot recommend- we were told it was okay for us with a person in a wheelchair- it definitely is a very hard walk on cobbles and broken concrete - not our scene at all

The beauty of the Sierra Madre mountains in San Sabastian
Amy_E
, Oct 2021
We loved the entire San Sabastian tour! The entire experience, from making homemade tortillas to the bakery to the tequila distillery to an authentic Mexican meal at a local San Sebastián restaurant and the local coffee plantation was wonderful. San Sabastian is located up in the beautiful Sierra Madre mountains. If you enjoy getting to see local scenery and local businesses in the area you’ll enjoy this tour. Our guide was excellent explaining the history of the area.

Not Covid safe, long road trip, interesting destination
Andrew_F
, Sep 2021
First and foremost, this tour is NOT Covid safe. Within 15 minutes of being picked up, the tour guide had his mask under his chin on an enclosed mini bus. Then the driver had his mask hanging from his ear. As the day proceeded, most passengers dropped their mask while on the mini bus. This is not a covid safe tour. It is doubtful that perfect mask wearing is adequate with so many on such a small vehicle, but the lack of masks within enclosed spaces was just terrible. There is a 2 hour ride to get to the site and 2 hour return. These were americans and all have to test negative to return to the USA. I just don't understand the lack of concern. Overall, this is a very very long day trip to a site that is pretty interesting. The guide was pretty good, the site is interesting, however, it is a very very long mini bus ride. I would wait until after Covid to do this tour. And, you really have to be ok with a very long road trip.

There's not just one thing to single out about this experience. My husband and I enjoyed it all. The culture was so impressive. Food was authentic, delicious, and well prepared. The views of the mountains were unreal. Highly recommended tour.
