“Daniel Lara is an excellent tour guide who offers something interesting besides the typical tours to Tequila. Daniel's knowledge of Guadalajara and Jalisco is very impressive. His customer service is outstanding. It began with immaculate SUV that picked us up at our hotel, the non-alcoholic drinks offered during the ride, his courteous driving to the top of Guahcimontones pyramids so that we wouldn't have to walk up the hill (he drove the car down and then ran up to join us!), then taking us into nearby Teuchitlan puebla for a refreshment break before driving us to Tres Mujeres distillery for his private tour and tequila tastings (bypassing hordes of tourists)…”

Explore Oaxaca mezcal with a private Matatlán tour featuring agave fields, family production, tastings, and a traditional comal lunch.

“We highly recommend this special tour! Verónica was a spectacular and knowledgeable guide and also a delightful person to spend the afternoon with. We were particularly impressed by the obviously authentic relationship she has built and nurtured with the family/owners of the farm and factory we visited. We could not believe we got to taste mezcal in the field with the Don himself!! From the history, to cutting agave in the field with the Don, to the factory tour and tasting, to the delicious meal in a local restaurant following the tour, it was an excellent experience. We recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and unique mezcal…”

Explore Guachimontones, agave fields, and Tequila on a private Guadalajara day tour with Daniel, transport, tastings, and local stops.

“My friend and I had an AMAZING time on this tour with Daniel as our guide. We couldn't have been more pleased. There are many Tequila tours available, but this one caught our eye since it combined a visit to the town of Tequila with an archaeological tour of the ancient pyramids of Guachimontones, a UNESCO heritage site. Daniel was an excellent, knowledgeable, and patient guide; we learned so much from him about this ancient civilization, the culture, and the people who created and lived in this historical site. Daniel then took us to a small, local distillery in Tequila (our preference over a larger more commercial one) with gorgeous…”
