“We were picked up on time. The van itself needs new shocks and the A/C was weak. The first stop is pretty much a waste of time. Walk into a ranch and a store next to it. The rest of the day we had a blast. Our tour guide did a fantastic job with transportation, tour guide and translations. Due to highway repair, the drive home was 1.5 hours making it a long day so be prepared. The restaurant has bad reviews but there's new owners. The food was pretty good, the service was great and the view was spectacular. Highly recommend this tour.”

“Great party experience. Our guide was amazing! The food however at the restaurant we stopped at was not. It’s not the guides fault by any means, but having a day in tequila and being able to choose my own place to eat would have made this a 6 star review. I think it would have also been a better idea to go straight to tequila and work our way back as I was exhausted and uninterested in attending a bar at the end of my journey after sampling tequila so early in the day. I would still recommend the experience and make sure to eat before and save your energy…”
