Monica_V, Nov 2022

What a fun experience on the tequila train! We went with two other couples and enjoyed every minute, from the tamales, agave farm, distillery and mariachi show. The perfect ending was riding on the train with breathtaking views and sampling different tequilas.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic time on the Jose Cuervo Express. It sounds like you and your companions had a truly enjoyable experience, exploring the agave farm and distillery. The mariachi show must have added an extra touch of excitement and entertainment.

We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for more memorable adventures in the future! Cheers! 🍹🚂

No tequila on the tequila tour

Letty_A, Aug 2022

I added an additional passenger a couple of weeks in advance and my credit card was charged. The day prior to departure when I was confirming my pick up time I was informed an error had been made and that the additional passenger had been cancelled and my money was going to be refunded back to me. This was a tequila tour with hardly any tequila. We were picked up on a tour bus that carried no alcohol. Our tour guide spoke very bad broken English. It would have been better if we would have taken the Spanish tour and I could of tried to translate the presentation for my partner. The tour dragged on with hardly any tequila. We had a presentation on how to drink the tequila but because our group was combined they did not have enough tequila and we had to share. The rest of the dry tour continued to drag on. Once we were finally finished it was an hour and a half past our lunch reservations and everything was booked up. Once we proceeded to board the train at 6pm is when the drinks finally started. We lost our English speaking tour guide and the Spanish speaker took over. My boyfriend was unable to understand the presentation but we were able to drink and enjoy the ride with the view of the country side.

We greatly appreciate your comments, we are continuously working to improve our Service and our experiences, we will review the points you mention to improve our service. We greatly appreciate your understanding.

Well worth it but be prepared.

hibah_q, Jul 2022

If you choose English, beware. 75% into the tour you are left guideless. You're given some final set of instructions on what to do next and then where to go. Sooooo you're just supposed to know how to get to a spot because you've been there when you first arrived? Not cool at all. Actually criminal to leave us when we booked a guide in English because we don't know Spanish. On the bus ride up, I was asked if we wanted them to make us lunch reservations at a restaurant during the few hours we had free. I said yes. She asked if 2:20 would be okay. Ummm how in the world am I supposed to know when the tour will break for lunch????? Turns out, it was later than 2:20 and we lost our reservation spot. So you have to wait in line for 30 minutes in the sweltering sun. Overall, the staff was amazing and the train ride back was sssooooooo fun. Prepare yourself for a 14 hour day, door to door. With many glitches, it was still worth it.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Free tour.

Glades_V, Jul 2022

We didn't get the entire train experience and they offered a free tour. Can I book the next tour? They claimed they had a train accident.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

To Jose Cuervo, there's no higher priority than our passengers' experience quality. We regret that the event of a freight train derailment has affected the use of the track and that our "Sunset" experience, scheduled for Saturday, June 25, could not be completed. As a result, we are offering all our affected passengers may request to change the date of their trip until Saturday, December 17, 2022, at no extra charge (this doesn’t apply to special run dates). Please, request your change by sending your boarding pass thrue the email in your reservation or contact us to the phone number provide on your voucher. We appreciate your understanding.

Unhappy with Train Tour

Patricia_V, Jul 2022

The review is low because we were told we would have a train experience and it was cut short. We were also told we would get a credit to return and nothing has been received. The train experience was the reason we booked the tour to begin with

Response from Host, Jul 2022

First time of many!

YOCM_Y, Jun 2022

The tour was amazing, the detail, the wealth of knowledge Jocelyn had of the tequila process. I wish there was more tastings so I could have made a better more informed decision. Train ride needed more wait staff, drinks and food were slow to come but all in all, I would do it again The concert was the best part!!!!

Unforgettable Tequila Tour

Michael_H, Mar 2022

This tour gives many opportunities to learn about tequila production first-hand. We saw the agave farms and then visited the famous Jose Cuervo distillery in Tequila, After touring the site, we had 2 hours to visit the town of Tequila and have lunch. I enjoyed being able to explore on my own. We returned to the distillery where we saw a great mariachi presentation. Throughout the tour, we sampled great tequila cocktails and tequila shots, as many as we wanted. I loved that! The return Guadalajara on the train was unforgettable. people were so friendly, and we enjoyed drinks and snacks together. Pickup at the hotel and at the train station was perfect. I will never forget the tour, and I highly recommend it!

Beware of False Advertising

Antonio_F, Apr 2019

While the service and tour was fine, the Viator Management sold us a tour that didn't exist and ruined our experience trying to get the matter sorted out with the Jose Cuervo people. No one wanted to take responsibility and what we got was NOT what we paid for! Go directly through Jose Cuervo, NOT through Viator!

Fabulous experience but be careful of the cabs

GeraldineOttawa, Jan 2019

All round an incredible experience of having fun at its best while learning something new about Jalisco's special liquor. One note of caution. If you take the morning train from the station you are not brought back there at night. They deliver you to the parking lot at Expo Guardalajara. We had no idea where we were and had to take a cab. there were a number wanting to pick up passengers. We were really unfortunate and got pick up by a driver whose intention was to rob us. Here's what he did. As there were four of us three were squashed in the back. Under the pretext of making us more comfortable he offered to p[ut our friend's bag in the trunk. She thought he was being considerate and gave it to him. After we had driven a little way he said he needed gas. He drove up to what he said was a "natural gas" station. Once there he said we had to get out and sit at some tables while he went to fill the gas for safety reasons. He went off out of sight. We gave him a generous tip thinking he was so helpful. Discovered the missing wallet next day as out friend was not the one paying for the cab! Be warned! It is the first time something like this has happened top me in Mexico so I write the experience off but he was very smooth and obviously this was not the first time he has done this. Can't identify the cab only tio say it was properly marked.

Girls getaway

rosareisin, Jul 2018

We had an awesome experience aboard the tequila express, tequila tasting was very educational and delicious, food was typical and tasty. When we arrived Tequila Jalisco, we were greeted with Mariachi band, soon after we joined the destilery tour and the highlight of the evening was a special folkloric show with Mariachi music 🎶

Todo bien !!

조금 과하다고 느껴질 가격이 전혀 아깝지 않게 느껴질 최고의...

KYUWON_K, Feb 2017

조금 과하다고 느껴질 가격이 전혀 아깝지 않게 느껴질 최고의 여행입니다!!! 여행의 출발부터 최고의 서비스를 받게 됩니다. Sunset 코스를 이용한 저는 집결지에서의 환영쇼 관람 후 최고급 리무진 버스를 타고 여행을 출발했습니다.간단한 간식과 물도 제공 먼저 아가베 농장에 들러 Jimador가 피냐를 만드는 과정 시연을 봤습니다. 드넓은 아가베 농장은 그 자체로 장관이었습니다. 그리고나서 도착한 Jose Cuervo 공장박물관에서는 Jose Cuervo 가문의 역사, Tequila의 종류와 등급에 대한 설명을 듣고 제조 공정과 저장 시설을 견학했습니다. 그리고 Tequila를 좀더 잘 즐기는 법에 대한 시음 실습도 했습니다. Jose Cuervo 박물관을 나오기 전에 기념품 샵에서 Tequila도 구매했습니다.기념품샵의 Tequila가격은 시중 가격보다 10 정도 저렴합니다. 이후 주어진 자유시간에는 Tequila 마을에 있는 한 해산물 음식점에서 점심을 맛있게 먹었습니다. 시간이 좀 남아 마을 이곳저곳을 둘러보았고 성당과 광장, 벼룩시장, 마을청사 건물, 다른 작은 박물관에도 들렀습니다. 이어지는 Tequila 마을 Mariachi 음악과 전통춤 공연도 볼만 했습니다. 공연을 보며 무료로 제공되는 음료도 마실 수 있습니다. 돌아오는 길에는 Jose Cuervo 열차를 탔습니다.열차를 타기 전에 작은 아이스크림도 줍니다. 객차의 의자는 굉장히 편안했고 다른 시설도 좋았습니다. 간단한 요기거리가 제공되었고 Tequila 음료는 정말 요청하는 대로 무한 제공되었습니다. 편안하게 차창 경치를 구경하며 과달라하라에 저녁 8:00경 도착해 여행을 마쳤습니다. 멕시코를 여행하는 모든 사람들에게 적극적으로 추천하는 관광코스입니다. 저는 기회가 되면 한 번 가보고 싶을 정도로 만족스러웠습니다.
