Our guide was changed the...
Our guide was changed the list minutes, also per our trip we were to visit Tonala,and ajiji which we didn't visit either places , felt we were more in the car battling traffic, became a very tired trip then an enjoyable one ..
Response from the operator: Antes que nada, le ofrezco una disculpa sincera por el cambio de guía a última hora y por el viaje tan cansado que le tocó vivir. Nos duele mucho leer esto, porque en Tours TequilArte trabajamos para que nuestros clientes disfruten y se relajen, no para que pasen el día batallando con el tráfico. Lamentamos de corazón que no hayamos podido visitar Tonalá ni Ajijic. Nos tocó un día especialmente difícil en las carreteras. Como la ciudad va a ser sede de algunos partidos del Mundial de futbol, el gobierno está acelerando muchísimas obras públicas y trabajos de mantenimiento para los partidos. Desafortunadamente, estas reparaciones y el tráfico tan pesado nos cerraron el paso hacia Ajijic y afectaron por completo los tiempos de traslado, algo que se salió totalmente de nuestras manos. Nos llevamos su comentario para revisar cómo mejorar nuestras rutas alternativas ahora que la ciudad está en plena transformación vial. Me pongo a su entera disposición por si desea que platiquemos directamente sobre su experiencia. Atentamente, Director General | Tours TequilArte

Excellent experience!
Wow! What a wonderful experience we had on this tour. Just the perfect blend of guided sightseeing and free time to explore on our own. Our guide, Samuel was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He was also a very kind and accommodating person. The vehicle was comfortable and spacious and we saw alot. I recommend this tour to anyone wanting to discover places OUTSIDE of Guadalajara proper. There are many hidden gems in the area. 10/10. I am a travel professional of 28 years as well.
Response from the operator: Su Experiencia Inspira Nuestra Misión! Agradecemos sinceramente que se haya tomado el tiempo de compartir un comentario tan detallado y positivo, especialmente viniendo de una profesional de viajes con 28 años de experiencia. Su reconocimiento es el mayor respaldo que podemos recibir y confirma que estamos logrando nuestro objetivo: ofrecer experiencias memorables, auténticas y de alta calidad fuera de lo tradicional. Muchas Gracias por su valoración!!

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private : Rancho Vicente Fernandez, Ajijic, Chapala and Tlaquepaque: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Guadalajara.
How much does Private : Rancho Vicente Fernandez, Ajijic, Chapala and Tlaquepaque cost?
+
Prices start at $94 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 Private : Rancho Vicente Fernandez, Ajijic, Chapala and Tlaquepaque take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Private : Rancho Vicente Fernandez, Ajijic, Chapala and Tlaquepaque worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 62 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 Private : Rancho Vicente Fernandez, Ajijic, Chapala and Tlaquepaque?
+
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 Private : Rancho Vicente Fernandez, Ajijic, Chapala and Tlaquepaque suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private : Rancho Vicente Fernandez, Ajijic, Chapala and Tlaquepaque?
+
Around 22 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private : Rancho Vicente Fernandez, Ajijic, Chapala and Tlaquepaque 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 Private : Rancho Vicente Fernandez, Ajijic, Chapala and Tlaquepaque?
+
Included: In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private : Rancho Vicente Fernandez, Ajijic, Chapala and Tlaquepaque include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 158 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 Private : Rancho Vicente Fernandez, Ajijic, Chapala and Tlaquepaque offered in?
+
It runs in Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
