We were on a business trip and for a day of the weekend it was super awesome. Tour guide was superb and the drinks were great. Mugs to take with you to drink anywhere was a huge plus.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Dear Piret_T, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your review, it is a pleasure for all of us to know that the service met your expectations. We hope to see you again! Kind regards from Amigo Tours. Alma

Visit to Tequila

Viviana_B, Jan 2024

Worth the day trip! We learned a lot, got to do a tequila tasting, try a cantarito and still had time to explore the town of Tequila and grab a delicious lunch.

Superb!

Rodrigo_H, Dec 2023

This tour was amazing. Everything was just perfect. I went with my wife and we had a blast. Our tour guides, Sebastian and Edgar, were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful to accommodate our every request. We will certainly book any tour with this Company. Thank you so much!

DISAPPOINTED

Elsie_V, Oct 2023

I’m very disappointed by the fact that Viator refuses to reimburse my $200 since my flight got canceled and I was unable to attend this four. I will tell everyone I know not to use this Agency as they are very dishonest

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear Elsie, we deeply regret your disappointment, however, our cancellation and refund policy is mentioned in the product. To get a refund you must contact your airline since they cancelled your flight. Thanks for your understanding. Mariana, Amigo tours

WORSE TOUR EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE

Cornelius_D, Nov 2022

Do not go on this tour it will surely disappoint you. We paid almost $500 for the four in our group and we were all disappointed and felt we were ripped off. Issues: #1 The bus arrived late to pick us up from our rental property. #2 The tour guide spoke mostly in Spanish and excluded us from the discussion or information she was sharing with the group. #3. We paid for a tour/distillery tasting at Jose Cuervo but we were not offered to taste any of their tequilas. #4. We were picked up at 9:30 AM and we weren't dropped off until 7:30 PM, we lost a whole day in Guadalajara to this awful awful tour. #5. We felt that we were dropped at certain spots at the convenience of the tour operator as a favor to their friends to provide business.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Dear Cornelius_D, we are very sorry to read you had a bad experience with us, we have investigated your case and we would like to inform you that on this tour we do not offer tequila tasting, on the onther hand about the late drop-off since your tour was on the day of the death festivity, the city was chaotic and was out of our control, we do apologize if you felt excluded by the guide, we will talk to her, thank you for leaving your review. Have an excellent day! Ivana, Amigo Tour

Great experience in Tequila Town

Donovan_W, Aug 2022

Carmen was amazing and our group was really fun. Even the roadside cantina stop turned into a party. We visited 3 distilleries and tasted some very excellent tequila. The company did a great job of communicating with us before the trip and our pickup and drop off was flawless. The only thing I would say is that it’s more like a 12 hour day than a 6 hour day if you are coming from GDL cento

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Dear Amig@ Donovan_W, We are grateful that you have chosen us for an amazing an unforgettable trip, and we want to continue to be the favorite for those days of adventure and fun. We hope you back soon! Best wishes!! Michelle, Amigo Tours

Great day and would recommend to all my friends

Sarah_P, Feb 2022

It was brilliant and well worth the money in free tequila alone. However if you don’t drink tequila it’s still worth it. Carmen the guide was amazing and not only had all the info but made the experience enjoyable.

Dear Amig@ It has been a real pleasure to have been at your service, thank you for sharing your comments and experiences, we hope to be at your service again on your next trip. Dulce, Amigo Tours

Great day trip out of Guadalajara

FLORENTINO_R, Nov 2021

Great day-trip out of Guadalajara. Pick-up at hotel was on time. Our guide Carmen was knowledgeable and entertaining and went out of her way to provide a good experience. The majority of the tour was conducted in Spanish. Stopped at agave fields and then toured a tequila distillery, with tastings. Another stop for refreshments and then had a few hours free time in Tequila. I had less free time because I opted for the add-on tour of the Jose Cuervo hacienda in Tequila, which was great because it is a world unto itself, plus that tour was completely in English, and had the opportunity to taste even more tequila! I still had time for a very nice lunch in Tequila. A few things to mention: they greatly underestimate the time required for this day trip; I had initially been told that I would be dropped off at the end at 430pm, but that is when we left the town of Tequila to drive back to Guadalajara. Also there was a misunderstanding on the drop-off, I was under the impression that I would be brought back to my hotel, but it turned out you are supposed to be dropped off at one of a few main centers in town. Carmen and the bus driver were kind enough to swing by my hotel to drop me off. This trip was one of the highlights of my time in Guadalajara, thank you!

Dear Amig@ It has been a pleasure to read from you, you contagious us with the good experience you had, it has been a pleasure to attend you. Thank you very much for letting us know about your experience. Dulce, Amigo Tours

They do not bring you to Jose Cuervo.

Jonathan_H, Oct 2021

The overall experience was great! Driver was good and Verenice our tour guide was amazing. We went with friends. Only reason I did not put 5 star is that we did not go to Jose Cuervo. We went to a different tequila factory. If this is the case then the title of this booking needs to be changed. We traveled to visit this distillery and we got something else. Not the tour guides fault but the booking company.

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Dear Amig@ Thank you very much for your comments. Berenice is a great colleague. We are very sorry that this detail of Jose Cuervo has reduced points to your experience, we certainly understand, we have investigated and there was an issue with the capacity of the site. We have already worked on this issue with the distillery so that this will not happen again. We appreciate your comments, they help us to continue to improve. We hope we can count on your trust on your next trip. Dulce, Amigo Tours

Lots of fun

Toni_P, Aug 2021

Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We started with a visit to local distillery, where we tried 6 different tequilas and learnt more about their production. Afterwards, we went to Tequila town which had a very cool vibe and live music on the streets. Only bad thing was that the visit to Jose Cuervo distillery was scheduled at 3pm (optional) and we arrived there at 2:15 super hungry. Therefore, you need to choose between going to a restaurant or visiting the distillery. Our group was lots of fun and continued hanging out even after the tour. I would recommend this tour

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Dear Amig@ Thank you very much for your recommendation, it is a great joy for us to know that we were able to provide you with an extraordinary experience. We look forward to serving you again on your next trip. Dulce, Amigo Tours

Great day in tequila

christophe_k, Jul 2021

Superbe day with our guide Berenice who was super knowledgeable in Tequila and Tequila fabrication. She also ré ommended great restaurant in Tequila where food was amazing. The only con is the comfort of the bus which is worth in term of space between seats than travelling on spirits airlines

Response from Host, Jul 2021

Dear Amig@ Thank you very much for letting us know about your experience on our tour, we love to read you, we also thank you for the comment, we will share it with our team to work on it. We hope to see you again soon. Dulce, Amigo Tours

Belen_j, Jun 2021

Luis made all the difference. He was great. It would be nicer if the tour was in either Spanish or English, not both, but not a deal breaker. Including water in the van would’ve been nice.

Response from Host, Jun 2021

Dear Amig@ Thank you very much for your comments, it gives us great pleasure to know that you had a pleasant experience. We take your comments into consideration and will share them with the team. Dulce, Amigo Tours

Very Informative

Brian_S, Jun 2021

Why did we not go to the Jose Cuervo Farm? We paid for that trip? Not the place we actually toured? Our guide, however was fantastic?

Response from Host, Jun 2021

Dear Amig@ Thank you very much for letting us know your comments, we are glad to hear that you had a great experience, due to the pandemic the tour had to be modified but we will be back soon to visit the Jose Cuervo distillery. Any modification or notice is informed in the email provided to your agency. We appreciate your time and confidence. Dulce, Amigo Tours

Terrific Tour - Informative + Fun!

Lourdes_G, Nov 2020

Highly recommend! Berenice is a great guide: very knowledgeable, engaging, and friendly. Mario was a great driver. Greatly enjoyed the tour of a small distillery (Cuervo is currently closed due to COVID) and the time we had to explore the town of Tequila. Both Berenice and Mario went above and beyond to make this tour a terrific experience!

Response from Host, Nov 2020

Dear Amigo Thank you very much for your comments. We love to read that you had an excellent experience. Tracy

Tequila tasting!

Sergio_G, Oct 2020

Overall the tour was great. We had a great tour guide Ramon and driver Saul who were nice, knowledgeable and friendly. We were taken the beautiful town of tequila and visited La Cofradía Tequileria. Our tour guide Abisail was awesome and nice. After the tour we had a couple of hours to eat and explore the town of Tequila. The only disappointment was that we were expecting to visit Jose Cuervo Distillery like stated on the add and were taken to La Cofradía without reason.

Response from Host, Oct 2020

Hello. Thank you for letting us what happen we will verify why you did not know about the distillery change. We hope you give us another opportunity to take you to Jose Cuervi distillery in the future. Regards Amigo Tours Cancun
