FUN! FUN! FUN! This tour is amazing. I HIGHLY recommend this tour to everyone. Guide Arturo is fantastic. He speaks English and is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. We first toured Casa Herradura and it is amazing. The tour included a Jimador demonstrating how they cut and shape the agave, a taste of the raw and roasted agave and concluded with a generous tequila tasting. The museum on the property is really fascinating. We then went to Tequila town and visited Sauza and Reyes Barajas. The town is pretty and quaint. We finished up at Tequila Cofradia for lunch in the Taverna. The restaurant is stunningly beautiful and the food was excellent… buffet all you can eat. The ceramics in the Cofradia gift shop are also stunning and beautiful. We took advantage of a great sale on tequila also.. made with the ceramic bottles is beautiful shapes and colors. If you are on the fence, dont be .. you will have a great time. .. see pics below.

We definitely enjoyed this tour. We were picked up on time at our hotel and proceeded to pick-up other passengers as we headed out of town. The City Tour of Tequila was interesting, the Tour Guides were informative and entertaining. We chose the Sunday tour because of other reviews we had read mentioning a buffet and the venue where it was offered. We were not disappointed, the venue was great and the food was very good. Overall, the day was well spent and if someone has never experienced a Tequila Tour then this is money well spent.

We had a great time on this tour. We originally wanted to take the tequila train, but it was booked up, so we opted for this tour. Honestly I think it was better. We arrived at the hacienda before the mob on the train, and felt as though we were getting a private tour. Our guide took us the a fantastic underground restaurant for lunch. Our guide couldnt have been nicer or more knowledgeable. I think it worked out for the better. We had a great time, and it was quite a bit less expensive. I would recommend it to everyone.
