“The first stop at the Ranch was a great experience, but a bit too long. Enjoyed the drinks and tamales breakfast. Loved the Maguey explanation from an expert. Spent a little too much time here and not in Tequila, the town. Left rushed once we got to the Cuervo distillery.”

“Never to book with you again. The tour company was notified that we had a booking with us at 4:00 in the afternoon. The original tour instructions were to meet at a designated site at 10:30 in the morning. Needles to say no one showed up and we missed our one time opportunity to take a tequila tour.”
