Tequila Day Trip with Jose Cuervo Option

Amigo Tours LATAM, in nine lines

Everything below is the operator's own wording or figure, read from the listing in Q3 2026 and rated 4.78 out of 5 across 87 reviews. Prices, inclusions and cancellation terms are set by the operator and confirmed at checkout on the platform, not here.

The one line the listing does not put up front

Choosing the Cuervo option costs you an hour in the town. Traditional distillery first; the brand factory is an add-on, not the core.

The pickup, and what it is worth

Most tequila tours from Guadalajara meet at a fixed point — usually the Fiesta Americana on the Glorieta Minerva at 09:45 — which means a taxi across the city at nine in the morning if you are staying in the Centro or Colonia Americana. This listing collects you from your hotel instead, and the provider contacts you the day before with the time.

That is the whole argument for the higher fare, and for travellers without a car or a phone plan it is a reasonable one. Note the asymmetry, though: drop-off is at one of three points in central Guadalajara rather than back at your door.

The distillery and the tasting

The core of the day is a traditional distillery with a guided tour and a tasting: fermentation, past and present distillation, and a tasting of tequilas including barrel-aged ones. The listing describes the origins honestly — the indigenous roots of the drink and the Spanish distillation that turned it into what is now sold under the denomination of origin.

An hour of free time in the town follows, for lunch, the streets and a bottle to take home. The drive itself is part of the point: the road out crosses the agave valley with the mountain views the listing names.

The José Cuervo option, and what it costs you

Choosing the José Cuervo distillery at checkout adds the most famous name in tequila to the day for an extra fee, and moves an hour out of the town and into the factory. The itinerary marks that third stop as optional with an extra fee, and the listing states the trade in one line: with the Cuervo option you spend one hour less in Tequila.

If the brand distillery is the reason you are coming, the cleaner purchase is the day built around La Rojeña, or Mundo Cuervo's own MX$345 walk-in tour, which gives it a guided hour and close to four hours in the town. If the process is the reason, the traditional distillery here does it for less.

Book it if you are staying away from the Minerva

Guadalajara's tour meeting points cluster in Zona Minerva. If your hotel is in the Centro Histórico, Tlaquepaque or Zapopan, the fixed-point tours cost you a taxi and a nervous half hour; this one does not.

Reviewers name the guides rather than the stops — Jose for enthusiasm, Carmen for running the day warmly across English and Spanish — which is the usual signal on a well-run shared tour.

Skip it if you want the cantina or a longer distillery

There is no Cantaritos El Güero stop here, and no hacienda lookout. The day is a distillery, a town and a drive. For the cantina evening, the extended classic tour at $46 includes two hours there with the drinks paid for; for the swings and the open bar, the pairings day at $65.

The listing also states it is not suitable for pregnant travellers or wheelchair users.

Practical notes the listing states

The provider contacts you the day before your tour with the pickup time and details, which means keeping a working phone number on the booking. The minimum drinking age in Mexico is 18 and is enforced at the tasting.

Drop-off happens at one of three points downtown — the listing names Avenida 16 de Septiembre in the Centro and the Minerva roundabout among them — so check which is nearest your hotel before you book.
