There is not a pushy environment to drink at all if you fancy drinking a bit more they will offer you as much tequila as you want but if you don’t really want to drink that much they are also very fine and don’t make anyone feel bad. Overall I think this was a really good tour and I would highly recommend, I’d even do it again!”
