What truly sets the Don Jacinto Horseback Riding Experiences apart is the chance to live tequila country from the inside, not as a spectator but as part of the landscape. Each ride takes you through real agave fields along traditional rural paths, where time slows down and the connection to the land feels genuine. From light and relaxed rides to extended journeys that may include local food, tequila tasting, sunset views, and even a visit to the Santa Quiteria archaeological site, every option is designed to match a different way of experiencing the agave region. Whether you choose a short scenic ride, a golden-hour experience, or a full day living like a local farm worker, these experiences go far beyond horseback riding. Guided by locals, surrounded by agaves, and complemented with regional flavors and traditions, this is an authentic immersion into Jalisco’s rural life—peaceful, genuine, and unforgettable.

Unprepared
I’m not sure why but the team was unprepared. Our tour started an hour late. We had to cut it short as we had an uber prearranged for pick up. It was very hot and we only had one bottle of water. The speaker was not English speaking creating a challenge around directions. The experience was uncomfortable and the horses can sense fear which put us in a dangerous situation.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback and for bringing these concerns to our attention. We sincerely apologize that the experience did not meet your expectations. We truly appreciate you letting us know about the delayed start, communication difficulties, and the other issues you experienced during the tour. We will be reviewing this directly with our team and the service provider to understand what happened and make the necessary improvements. Your feedback is very important to us and helps us ensure we provide a better and safer experience for our future guests. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your understanding.

A Must-Do in Jalisco!
This was such a fun and unique experience! Riding through the agave fields was beautiful, and the horses were calm and well cared for. We learned a lot about tequila, enjoyed an excellent tasting, and the entire tour was well organized. Our guide was friendly and made us feel welcome from start to finish. Highly recommended if you want to experience the real Jalisco!

Agaves and Tequila Horseback Ride in El Arenal Jalisco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Guadalajara.
How much does Agaves and Tequila Horseback Ride in El Arenal Jalisco cost?
+
Prices start at $57 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 Agaves and Tequila Horseback Ride in El Arenal Jalisco take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Agaves and Tequila Horseback Ride in El Arenal Jalisco worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 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 Agaves and Tequila Horseback Ride in El Arenal Jalisco?
+
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 Agaves and Tequila Horseback Ride in El Arenal Jalisco suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Agaves and Tequila Horseback Ride in El Arenal Jalisco?
+
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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Agaves and Tequila Horseback Ride in El Arenal Jalisco 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.
