He took us to Fortaleza (a must-visit, absolutely outstanding) and then let us do what we wanted. We had an appointment at Arette (must go) and then he took us for lunch and drinks at a roadside spot. Delicious molcajete. Then back to Guadalajara. We loved the freedom and were comfortable with limited English, but if you’re looking for a structured day this may not be for you. It was definitely for us - highly recommended.”

It was interesting to see the differences (and similarities) to the processes between the two places. Not surprisingly, the sit-down tasting of 6 tequilas at Cascahuin was charming and delicious. Mauricio offered suggestions for additional places to visit. He was also fun to talk with on all kinds of things Mexico. Thanks to Mauricio with Koyote Tours for a lovely day.”
