Take the Ride
Did the private tequila tour with a small group of friends with Humberto as our guide. Humberto was extremely knowledgable and personable (in English and in Spanish) which led to a lot of great tequila, some excellent food, and a little bit of singing in some of the most beautiful places in Jalisco. Would absolutely recommend!

Highlight of The Trip
Excellent experience. Fernando was knowledgable, spoke English very well, was flexible and accommodating. El Morro was also a great guide. We appreciated the relaxed nature of the tour and the personable experience. Would recommend to anyone who has a passion for tequila and wants more depth than most other tours. Worth the extra cost.

Private Tequila Tour: Craft Distillery, Tasting, and Mexican BBQ: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Guadalajara.
How much does Private Tequila Tour: Craft Distillery, Tasting, and Mexican BBQ cost?
+
Prices start at $192 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 Tequila Tour: Craft Distillery, Tasting, and Mexican BBQ 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 Tequila Tour: Craft Distillery, Tasting, and Mexican BBQ worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 47 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Guadalajara, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tequila Tour: Craft Distillery, Tasting, and Mexican BBQ?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Private Tequila Tour: Craft Distillery, Tasting, and Mexican BBQ 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 Tequila Tour: Craft Distillery, Tasting, and Mexican BBQ?
+
Around 16 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 Tequila Tour: Craft Distillery, Tasting, and Mexican BBQ 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 Tequila Tour: Craft Distillery, Tasting, and Mexican BBQ?
+
Included: Private transportation; Alcoholic beverages; Access to Craft Tequila distillery; Lunch; and Expert host in Tequila. Not included: Breakfast. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Tequila Tour: Craft Distillery, Tasting, and Mexican BBQ include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 270 listed pickup locations in and around Guadalajara. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Tequila Tour: Craft Distillery, Tasting, and Mexican BBQ 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 Private Tequila Tour: Craft Distillery, Tasting, and Mexican BBQ?
+
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 Private Tequila Tour: Craft Distillery, Tasting, and Mexican BBQ wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Private Tequila Tour: Craft Distillery, Tasting, and Mexican BBQ if the weather is bad?
+
