    Great

    Fernando was so friendly and knowledgeable!

    via Tripadvisor

    Michelle_G · June 2024

    Amazing Experience!!!

    If you want to learn the rich and interesting history of El Pulque, this tour is for you! Fernando is a wealth of information regarding the creation and process of this delicious beverage. He shared several incarnations of this drink (that is extracted from a certain species of agave). El Pulque can be mixed with many different fruit juices or simply alone. You are given a menu from which you can choose which one appeals to you the most. The place where we met is located in a hip area where there are many attractions and the place is filled with art and had a relaxed, casual atmosphere. We were served a delicious guacamole and other snacks. He answered every question I had and went above and beyond with recommendations and knowledge of Guadalajara. The experience is only 1 1/2 - 2 hours but he perfectly balanced the experience with education and enjoyment of this delicious and healthy elixir. Do not miss this unique and amazing experience!

    Response from the operator: Hi Michelle. It was a pleasure hosting you and sharing the pulque culture with you. I appreciate your incredible review and feedback. I hope to see you back in Guadalajara soon!

    Agave drinks of Jalisco: Tasting of Pulque, Raicilla and Mezcal: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Guadalajara.

    How much does Agave drinks of Jalisco: Tasting of Pulque, Raicilla and Mezcal cost?

    +

    Prices start at $74 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Guadalajara usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Agave drinks of Jalisco: Tasting of Pulque, Raicilla and Mezcal take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Guadalajara is not rushed.

    Is Agave drinks of Jalisco: Tasting of Pulque, Raicilla and Mezcal worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Guadalajara, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Agave drinks of Jalisco: Tasting of Pulque, Raicilla and Mezcal?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Agave drinks of Jalisco: Tasting of Pulque, Raicilla and Mezcal suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Agave drinks of Jalisco: Tasting of Pulque, Raicilla and Mezcal?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Guadalajara can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Guadalajara and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Agave drinks of Jalisco: Tasting of Pulque, Raicilla and Mezcal start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Guadalajara within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Guadalajara?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Guadalajara experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Luxury Tequila Experience: VIP Tastings & Boutique Distilleries, Full Day Tour to Tequila and Amatitán with Fun and Culture, The Fire TOUR - Pyramids, Volcanoes, Agaves & Tequila. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Guadalajara?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Guadalajara?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Agave drinks of Jalisco: Tasting of Pulque, Raicilla and Mezcal?

    +

    Included: Alcoholic beverages; Bottled water; and Snacks. Not included: Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
