Don't use Viator if you want good customer service!

The most memorable part of this trip was trying to get a refund from Viator. Emailing an agent led to this response, "As such, we are unable to revisit this final decision." Then spent an hour on the phone.
Fun and informative

Raul our tour guide was very knowledgeable and made our tour very enjoyable. The tasting was great!!
Amazing tequila, horrible start
Scott_J, Apr 2024
Let me first start by saying Jesus was amazing, super knowledgeable and really great. The actual tequila tasting and lunch was also spectacular. If that was the tour, 5 starts. Unfortunately, it started with seeing “dancing horses” in a small town. One horse looked terrified and danced with 2 feet of rope tied to a concrete wall. Really did not enjoy, take that off the tour!
Great getaway

Nice cultural and historical overview
Raymond_S, Apr 2024
The guide was knowledgeablel and friendly. The tequila was delicious. The trip overall was well worth it.
Didn't know about a "Dancing Horses" stop.
William_A, Apr 2024
Tequila distillery, lunch and leather shop was great! But unbeknownst to me this tour also had "Dancing Horses" stop at a farm where they train horses to "Dance" by chaining them 2 feet from a wall and forcing them to trot in place to loud music. It felt like abuse to me, but I guess it's a "thing" for some people.
Learning about...
Joyce_V, Apr 2024
Learning about agave/tequila and the tasting. Comfortable van ride. Guide was personable. (Actually, could have skipped the horse dancing bit.)
Great afternoon!

Tour and Tequila away from Mazatlan
Virgil_S, Apr 2024
We were picked up from our hotel in north Mazatlan. We were in a van with 11 tourists plus our driver and tour guide Ismael. We drove about 10 to 15 miles inland to a couple of small towns where we were entertained by a horse trainer with “dancing” horses. We passed through large fields of agave and maguey. We visited the Los Osuna distillery for a tour and three shots of Agave Azul. Our guide provided us with educational tour of the facility. I was a little impatient however to get to the drinks. There was a large crowd due to a number of other tour vans and tour buses present and one bar to dispense the drinks so there was initially no place to sit. Eventually a lot of folks cleared out. We sat around for awhile and were allowed to sample the more expensive brands for about 100 pesos a shot. We left for another local village where we had a good group lunch at a restaurant that we had paid for as part of the tour. We then were allowed to wander around the village which had a Sunday festival for about 20 minutes until we left and were returned to our hotel. We were out about 6 hours.

Great tequila experience
Jimmy_L, Apr 2024
Jesus was an excellent driver and guide. He even suggested a secondary tequila tasting location on way back to ship that was excellent. We enjoyed every minute of the tour and learned a lot from our guide.
Factory, guide

Tour guide Carlos was realt good.It was interesting to see blue agave plantation and tequila factory
Raul rules the road!
Michael_C, Mar 2024
Our driver Raul was very knowledgeable of the history and culture of the local area. He took the time to drive us through the historical districts of Mazatlan and point out some cool spots of interest. The villages he took us to were quaint and gave us an opportunity to interact with the locals. We had a wonderful traditional cooked lunch at a small roadside restaurant. Excellent! The tequila tour was interactive and interesting. We were able to witness the tradfitional process of tequila making and try some samples. Raul was a great host.
Great half day out from Mazatlán
Kevin_S, Feb 2024
Jesus was an informative tour guide. Enjoyed an excellent lunch in La Noria! Pleasant way to escape the hustle and bustle of Mazatlán and see the 'real' Mexico.
Great fun, great spirits.

Excellent tour guide that explained everything clearly so everyone understood the tequila making process.
Great Tour
John_H, Feb 2024
We were lucky enough to have had Carlos Ochoa for our tour guide. He was excellent and gave out much in the way of detail along the way. We visited the town of La Noria, a Tequila Factory, and the dancing horses. Also stopped for a an excellent lunch. Thank you Carlos for a great day!
