Starting the tour we will make a quick stop at Vicente Fernandez's ranch and the famous Vicente Fernández store "Los Tres Potrillos". It should be noted that entry to the ranch is free and subject to the owner's will, so we cannot guarantee entry.

    Later we will visit a tequila distiller known as ¨LOS MAGOS¨ where we will give them a tour within it, they will learn in detail how is the process of making Tequila in an artisanal way, and of course we will take several tastings of tequila and liquors of the home.

    1 hour 20 minutes

  • San Juan Cosala

    After having tasted some good tequilas we headed towards the Rivera de Chapala, where around 2:00 p.m. we arrived at the Municipality of San Juan Cosalá, here we visited the best seafood restaurant in the area, ¨MARISCOS DEL CARNAL¨, with super affordable prices and we will also give you a courtesy drink so you can enjoy your boat ride inside the largest lake in Mexico!

    1 hour 30 minutes

    25 minutes

  • Ajijic

    After having enjoyed a delicious meal and having toured the largest Lake in Mexico, we moved to the Magic Town of Ajijic, named a magical town only in 2020, where they will have free time so that they can visit the center of town, its beautiful cobbled streets, its colorful houses, which are a magnet for lovers of photography and its extensive boardwalk. A town which is a destination for many international visitors and a key retirement point for many older people, this is why the Magical Town of Ajijic has many inhabitants from abroad who have decided to make Ajijic their home.

You cannot leave this place without first trying some delicious charales or a carafe snow, which are very typical of the region. Right here you can find many options to buy gifts, souvenirs, postcards, etc., since the prices in Chapala are more than accessible.

Great Experience for the Price

Published on Dec, 2024

This experience is good for a group or a solo traveler. To be honest, you get so much for the price you pay. I liked that we were able to get away from the hustle and bustle of Guadalajara. The tequila tasting was fun! We were able to purchase a variety of tequila. Our stop for lunch was sun because we were able to see performances. Overall a great decision to go on this excursion!

Lake Chapala

Published on Dec, 2024

We had a great tour in a big van. We made multiple stops along our trip. the guide was great, he was able to translate into English for us. It was a long day. We had a great seafood lunch, a short boat ride on the lake. No information re: how the lake was created and it didn't appear to be a recreational lake. The small towns were very cute, we were able to walk around on our own but again would have appreciated a little more information about the towns and history.

Day Trip

Published on Dec, 2024

Overall my family and I really enjoyed this trip. We had the opportunity to see a lot in just a little time. Javier the tour guide was great. He explained every stop in detail. The margaritas he prepared for us were amazing. I definitely recommend this.

A wonderful way to make the trip from Guadalajara to Ajijic or Chapala .

Published on Dec, 2024

We were traveling from Guadalajara to Ajijic so the tour was great means of transportation. We enjoyed the ranch, tequila tasting , lunch at El Carnal . Our driver , Javier, was fabulous and fun. We could have taken a boring taxi ride to our hotel in Ajijic , but instead we took tour for just about the same price. Highly recommend it!

Book for a calm but rewarding day!

Published on Dec, 2024

This tour was a fun but calm and enjoyable way to spend our day! Javier was very kind, knowledgeable, and attentive with our large group. He kept us hydrated throughout the day, had a great playlist, and even mixed up some palomas for us for the rides between stops. Visiting a small distillery and being given time to experience and walk around the magical towns of Chapala and Axixic was appreciated. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to see the surrounding areas of Guadalajara.
