Wonderful day - Wonderful tour. Dante was an amazing guide, sharing so much information. Guachimontones is an experience for sure. Hacienda la Labor is very relaxing.

Top notch staff and experience - I loved this tour company so much that I did three tours ( tequila, lake, and guachimontoes) with them in Jalisco. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Clean cars and they'll bend over backward to make you happy. There was some initial confusion about my booking, but they went out of their way to make it right.

Amazing Jalisco experience - This was my first time in Guadalajara and I was looking for a nice tour that would include the Guachimontones. I figured I'd go over there and take a few pictures and have a nice lunch at the Old Hacienda. This tour exceeded my expectations. The country side outside of Guadalajara, which I saw on the way to the Guachimontones was so beautiful. As part of the tour you have to walk up to the visitor's center and there is a view up there where you can look down at the small town and the lake and it was stunning. The tour is very well done. My guide was Dante and he was so knowledgeable about the Guachimontones and the region in general. It was a delight being able to hear about the rich history of Guadalajara and the surrounding areas from Dante. Dante also runs tours to Lake Chapala and to Tequila as well, so he is definitely the right guide for someone like myself who was trying to discover the region. As part of this tour we also had lunch at an Old Hacienda. It was very much like traveling back in time as the hacienda looks like it's frozen in time. It was such a unique, worthwhile experience and I'm glad I can say that I've now had lunch at a Mexican hacienda. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Guadalajara for the first time.
