Will the Tour be offered in English on the day that I choose?

What happens if my group is mixed (English and Spanish Speakers)?

No worries, the explanation will be done simultaneously in both languages.

At what time does the Tour start?  And what time does it finish?

The Tour starts at 09:00 am and usually finishes at 5:00 pm in Tequila, which entails that we are back in Guadalajara around 6:30 pm (depending on traffic conditions).

**If you reserve the small group version of the Tour (Original Tequila Tour) and there are various parties to be picked up at different locations, we usually start the pickup route in the center of Guadalajara and make our way to the exit of the city in an effort to be efficient and have everyone wait the less time possible.  Once we have all hotel locations for our clients, we will reconfirm the pickup time by email as soon as possible.**

The times are approximate; Guadalajara is Mexico’s second largest city with a population nearing 7 million people, therefore traffic can be difficult at rush hour and times may be longer.

What is the pickup zone covered?

We offer in all our regular tours the pickup and drop off at any Guadalajara and Tlaquepaque-area hotel. Pick up and drop off is available from a different location (ie: Tequila, Ajijic or Chapala) however is subject to an additional fee. 

If your hotel has various locations, please indicate in which exact one you will be hosted. This will avoid any confusion and delays at the time of pick up.  

If the tour and hotel reservations were made under different names, please advise us. This will facilitate your localization on the day of the tour.

If I live in the Guadalajara Area, can I take my car and join the rest of the group?
