“This was an great day out. The really excellent guide Francisco was lots of fun and a great driver (and a great singer!). Small group (10 people) so it felt more personal. I enjoyed every aspect of it, the visit to the Tequila producer, the tasting in a small taverna, the really beautiful property with the caves, the excellent and very reasonably priced lunch at a local eatery in Tequila, and finally fun at Cantaritos El Guero. Would highly recommend this tour.”
