This tour to Guachimontones and Tequila is worth the time. I have visited many archeological sites in Mexico and this one is one of a kind. Beautiful. Daniel is very knowledgeable. He explains everything well and answers all the questions. He is also patient and kind and makes the trip fun and enjoyable. The transportation they use is roomy and comfortable. I definitely recommend this company.

Walking Tour Experience in Ajijic Mexico
TimothyC553, Sep 2026
Great Orientation to the History and Community of Ajijic
While staying in Chapala, we wanted to also see and learn about Ajijic. This walking tour was just the ticket. Greg is a US ex-pat who has lived in Ajijic and worked in the Mexican tourism and relocation sector for many years. He shared about the history of Ajijic and its "intercultural" development, especially in the years following the Second World War, and was frank about both the benefits and the issues that development has brought. He provided great tips for how to engage the community whether during a short visit or an extended stay. The tour included stops at locations that had only recently opened, and so is clearly regularly updated. His detailed descriptions of the content of several murals in the village added depth to an appreciation of their beauty. If you are looking for an excellent introduction to this particular "Pueblo Mágico" on the shores of Lake Chapala, this tour is highly recommended.

aliciacV5673KR, Aug 2026
Perfect day in Guachimontones
This was our second tour with Diego after Chapala and Ajijic and I can’t recommend him enough! We chose this tour because it was the only one that allowed us to visit Guachimontones without having to go to Tequila. Diego provided the perfect amount of information, explaining everything in a clear way. His English is excellent because he lived in Canada and New Zealand, and he has an academic background in social sciences, so you can tell he is clearly passionate and super knowledgeable about history and archeology, which made the experience even more interesting. After visiting the pyramids, we explored the town of Teuchitlan and fell in love with it. It had such a peaceful atmosphere and Diego provided fascinating context that helped us understand both the history and the current situation of the community, including some challenging topics that many guides might shy away from. We visited the main square, a small local market and a cultural center that we would never have found on our own. We had a chance to interact with the locals and try artisanal bread in a local shop, which was particularly amazing! We ended the day with a delicious lunch and beers at a restaurant with beautiful views of a local lake. It was a perfect day! and having an entirely private tour was especially helpful because my elderly parents like to explore at their own pace. 10/10!

Guachimontones // The pre-Hispanic legacy of Jalisco

Travel with Daniel Learn and Enjoy
We wanted a tour focusing on the Prehispanic civilization of the Valley of Guadalajara and there are not very many available. Some also go to the town of Tequilla which makes for a very long day and probably gives both parts of the tour less than an ideal amount of time. Daniel also speaks good English so it allowed for a great bilingual tour where I could ask for clarification in English of anything I didn't understand as presented in Spanish.Daniel kept in good contact before the tour and we were well prepared for what to expect logistically.Daniel picked us up at our Downtown Guadalajara hotel at 8am sharp in a nice new VW van with great A/C which is very comfortable and modern.It was Saturday so the drive to Teuchitlan was traffic-free and pleasant. We talked about the anthropological history of the Valley and more on the drive, it was very enlightening.Even though the tour instructions were clear to eat breakfast before the pickup Daniel was gracious enough to take us to a yummy carnitas stand for breakfast.Since we had already stopped in toen for Breakfast he then showed us around the town center and explained about its history.Then he took us to walk along the lovely nearby riverbank and discuss the local flora and fauna as well as the remnants of the historic floating gardens that were so important to the Prehispanic inhabitants.Next we went to the Guachimontones Archeological Park itself and toured the ruins of these very unique, circular, stepped structures. The Volcano of Tequila dominates the lush background and the top was encased in clouds the whole time. Daniel explained in great detail the history and discoveries of the site including the particular form of Pelota (or cadena) historically played there. The early arrival was a blessing as the site was almost completely empty but for a few employees which made for superb photography opportunities which Daniel patiently indulged and assisted with.Even though it was morning the Sun was growing strong and after making a thorough circuit of the ruins we proceeded to the Site Museum.The Museum is only about 15 years old and has some incredible murals and other very nice appointments. The mural that depicts the site as it may have looked during its peak of development was extremely impressive and lovely. While Daniel continued the tour within the museum explaining more details he didn't neglect to include the staff who would display certain additional items like a selection of the types of obsidian produced in the area and an example of a traditional pelota used for the sport. Once all our curiosities were indulged we proceeded on to the final part of the tour.Daniel took us to a place in town run by a kind old woman where we drank Aguamiel and got to make tortillas from masa (not from scratch which would take forever and be frankly uncomfortable for most people 😅) It was a nice, old-school lunch to cap off the tour. Then Daniel drove us back to our hotel.Daniel's extensive knowledge and passion for history and culture is what really took the tour to the next level. You could do all the activities or more and if your guide isn't knowledgeable and passionate it simply wouldn't come close to the experience Daniel provided us.

The Best day trip from Guadalajara
We wanted to see as much of Jalisco as possible in one day, and this tour was exactly what we were looking for. Guachimontones was fascinating, Tequila was full of charm, and the distillery visit was a great way to learn about the tequila-making process. We never felt rushed, and our guide made the whole experience feel personal with great stories and local recommendations. It ended up being one of our favorite memories from Mexico. I would book it again without hesitation!

This is a must-do if you’re visiting Guadalajara. We had an excellent tour guide, Ricardo. He was very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful. We were able to tour two distilleries. We then looked around Tequila and ended the day at the famous Cantaritos, which is not to be missed. We cannot recommend this tour and Ricardo highly enough! It far exceeded our expectations and was one of the best tours we’ve ever had, anywhere!

Carmen our tour guide was very informative taking us through a breezy ride at the Malecon boardwalk all the way to Romantic Zone passing by at Puerto Vallarta’s old historical church, Our Lady of Guadalupe. Going back we took the river side passing by Elizabeth Taylor’s old house, market place and cycled our way up to the light house for an amazing view of the city. Such a wonderful experience on our first day exploring Puerto Vallarta by bike and Carmen was a very friendly and cool guide.
