      The Agave Landscape of Tequila is a cultural UNESCO World Heritage Site in Mexico. The 35,019-hectare site is part of an expansive landscape of blue agave, shaped by the culture of the plant used since the 16th century to produce the spirit known as tequila and for at least two millennia to make fermented drinks (such as pulque) and cloth. Within the landscape are working distilleries reflecting the growth in the consumption of tequila in the 19th and 20th centuries. Today, this agave culture is seen as part of Mexican national identity. The Tequila landscape has contributed to many works of art such as film, music, dance etc

    Best Horseback Riding + Tequila Tasting Tour!

    It was my first time visiting Guadalajara and this private tour was perfect from start to finish! :) I almost didn’t book since it didn’t have many reviews - but after reading positive reviews for the tour company, I gave it a shot! I’ve been on countless tours before and love to travel. This was one of the best tours I’ve ever done. To start the day, my husband and I were picked up from our hotel in Centro Historico at 9am. Our friendly guide was Delfino; he kept us entertained during the hour drive with interesting info about Guadalajara and Tequila. It was just the 3 of us in a clean, safe car with strong AC, which helped since it was a hot day! He offered us free water bottles throughout the day which was helpful since we were pretty drunk from all of the tequila… Our first stop was to do tequila tasting at Don David in Amititan. We went to an absolutely gorgeous spot with a scenic view overlooking the glorious agave fields. At the private tasting, we learned how to truly savor tequila with an expert and then explored the agave fields with Delfino to learn more about them. Our second stop was to meet the father and son who were waiting with our horses in Amititan for our horseback riding tour. This was an absolutely magical experience: the sun was shining, the agave fields we passed by were stunning, the father and son were patient with us (since we were a bit tipsy from tequila!), and there were 3 cute small dogs that followed the horses the entire time. After the 45-minute horseback ride, our guide drove us to Tequila. We stopped by the Jose Cuervo distillery to use their bathroom and then walked around Tequila. We explored a church, checked out outdoor stalls selling trinkets and souvenirs, wandered through the town square, stopped by the Casa Sauza distillery, and ate tequila and agave ice cream at a local shop. (The ice cream and tastings at both distilleries were not included with the tour - but you can purchase them separately!) Afterwards, it was time for lunch and we drove to nearby La Taberna, an underground restaurant. Lunch came with chips, salsa, and delicious margaritas. My husband and I got beef tacos and chicken fajitas, and dessert of arroz con leche (rice pudding with fruit). The food was decent - not the best nor worst Mexican food we’ve had! We passed by “barrel hotels” on the way to lunch and got to see one up close. Then we had a tequila tasting at Cofradia followed by a tour of the factory to see how it’s produced. We got more tequila tastings during the tour. It took us over an hour to drive back to our hotel for our drop off - but we had such an incredible day that we didn’t mind. Overall, I highly recommend the tour and our guide! It was a fun adventure and not having to think about transportation, food, and drinks was great. It was also nice that our experience was customized. Our guide adapted to our needs hour by hour and let us decide where we wanted to spend more/less time at.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that your first visit to Guadalajara was a memorable one, and that our tour exceeded your expectations. It's great to know that despite the initial lack of reviews, you decided to give us a chance. Thank you once again for choosing our tour and for your recommendation. We truly appreciate your kind words, and we hope to have the pleasure of hosting you on another memorable journey in the future!

    Horseback Riding Tour in The Agave Field with Lunch: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Horseback Riding Tour in The Agave Field with Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $235 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 Horseback Riding Tour in The Agave Field with Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Horseback Riding Tour in The Agave Field with Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 Horseback Riding Tour in The Agave Field with Lunch?

    +

    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 Horseback Riding Tour in The Agave Field with Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Horseback Riding Tour in The Agave Field with Lunch?

    +

    Around 3 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Horseback Riding Tour in The Agave Field with Lunch 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 Horseback Riding Tour in The Agave Field with Lunch?

    +

    Included: In-vehicle air conditioning; and Brunch. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Horseback Riding Tour in The Agave Field with Lunch include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 13 listed pickup locations in and around Guadalajara. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Horseback Riding Tour in The Agave Field with Lunch offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Horseback Riding Tour in The Agave Field with Lunch?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Horseback Riding Tour in The Agave Field with Lunch wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Horseback Riding Tour in The Agave Field with Lunch if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

    What do travelers say about Horseback Riding Tour in The Agave Field with Lunch?
