VIP Tequila Tour
Andrea was the best and we had so much fun learning about the different types of tequilas. The distillery we visited were beautiful and we even got to have dinner at Casa Sauza. We definitely felt like VIPs on this tour.

Great tequileras tour
This was an excellent tour. Andrea was our tourist guide a very nice, polite, knowledgeable, friendly person. Just with that said the tour is worth it. Additionally the tequileras we visited were great, I enjoyed, learned and had fun with the group. I highly recommend you to do this tour to enjoy, learn and have fun when visiting Guadalajara. Thank you Andrea for sharing your experience, expertise and making us enjoy the whole day.

Excellent Tequila experience
Skip the tour of the huge factories. We visited two small distilleries and learned ALL about making artisinal and conventional tequila. The first, Casa de Oro, was amazing. 6 tequilas. A smaller second place with 4 tastings. (Perhaps they gave me a few double fills too). Our guide, Andrea, was super knowledgeable and fun. I was solo, joining a family group of 9 who welcomed me like a family member. Fun fellow tourists makes any tour even better. A late Breakfast (lunch really) was included before the tequila stops, a dinner stop where we share the cost - bring pesos please - and then a stop for shopping in Tequila proper (30 minutes, wish it was more!) Finally, a stop at a venue with food, drinks and several mariachi bands playing at once (LOL) where a sweet drink was mixed in a giant clay jug and poured out. 2 more drinks. What am I up to? 12? 14? The only difficulties: did not hear from them about pickup until the Evening before which made me nervous, and I had to get an uber to another place for that. I got them to drop me off closer but still had a 1.5 mile walk.

Luxury Tequila Experience: VIP Tastings & Boutique Distilleries: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Guadalajara.
How much does Luxury Tequila Experience: VIP Tastings & Boutique Distilleries cost?
+
Prices start at $149 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 Luxury Tequila Experience: VIP Tastings & Boutique Distilleries take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Luxury Tequila Experience: VIP Tastings & Boutique Distilleries worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 94 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 551 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Guadalajara, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Luxury Tequila Experience: VIP Tastings & Boutique Distilleries?
+
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 Luxury Tequila Experience: VIP Tastings & Boutique Distilleries suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxury Tequila Experience: VIP Tastings & Boutique Distilleries?
+
Around 193 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxury Tequila Experience: VIP Tastings & Boutique Distilleries 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 Full Day Tour to Tequila and Amatitán with Fun and Culture, The Fire TOUR - Pyramids, Volcanoes, Agaves & Tequila, Guadalajara City Center Walking Tour. 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 Luxury Tequila Experience: VIP Tastings & Boutique Distilleries?
+
Included: Breakfast; In-vehicle air conditioning; Alcoholic beverages; Tea and coffee; and Snacks. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Luxury Tequila Experience: VIP Tastings & Boutique Distilleries include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 72 listed pickup locations in and around Guadalajara. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Luxury Tequila Experience: VIP Tastings & Boutique Distilleries 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 Luxury Tequila Experience: VIP Tastings & Boutique Distilleries?
+
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.
