Private day tour of Guachimontones & Tequila

To guarantee a personalized experience only you and your travel companions will participate in this fully-private tour

* Min. 2 persons required

My name is Diego. I hold a bachelor's degree in tourism and a master's degree in social studies from the University of Guadalajara.

I created this experience to introduce travelers to the history and culture of one of the most representative regions of Mexico: the Tequila Valley.

In a fun and relaxed way you will learn how the inhabitants of the valley managed to build a complex biocultural system of production of agave, from which tequila is made.

With a private guide and a private driver you will visit:
• The circular pyramids of Guachimontones.
• The agave fields.
• A family-owned distillery of artisanal tequila.
• The village of Tequila

During our guided tasting experience and private distillery tour you will learn how to properly drink tequila, the differences between commercial vs artisanal tequila, and the latest industry trends
