The core belief of my experiences is that the most significant and ultimate attraction of Guadalajara is its people. Born and raised in Guadalajara, I went into tourism studies after living in Canada and New Zealand with the purpose of making the history and culture of my country visible to the world, thus helping to change the image of Mexico that is often portrayed by the media. With that goal in mind, I would like to provide you with an authentically local experience that allows you to immerse in the daily life of the community by walking through the most emblematic neighborhoods, markets and plazas, while engaging directly with the local inhabitants of Guadalajara. Whether a family with children, a couple, a group of friends, a business person or a solo backpacker, my tours are highly flexible and easily adaptable to meet your specific needs. My hope is that, by the end of the day, you will have created an emotional bond with the people of Guadalajara and broadened your perspective on Mexican society. 7 years working as a tour guide. I hold a bachelor's degree in tourism and a master's degree in social studies from the University of Guadalajara. I learned to speak English while living in cities like Auckland, New Zealand; Vancouver, Canada; and Asheville, USA. I have published academic papers and book chapters on tourism, indigenous shamanism, and the role of cultural heritage in promoting local economic development. I've appeared on Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) in the US as part of the show 100 Days, Drinks, Dishes and Destinations. I am not a driver-guide, I'm only a guide but I will arrange for a licensed driver and a car for our tour.

Enjoy an unparalleled private experience and discover the secrets behind the tequila industry: from the key differences between industrial and artisanal production, to the political and environmental challenges currently faced by the industry. Designed as an alternative to traditional, touristy tequila tours, this private experience includes transportation exclusively for your group and a dedicated guide, Diego, a licensed tour guide and tequila enthusiast, delivering a personalized experience shaped around your interests. By the end of the tour you'll walk away with a deeper understanding of both the historical and current context of Mexico’s most iconic spirit. This tour is subject to availability: upon receiving your reservation request, I'll contact the distilleries to confirm availability for your chosen date. If available, your reservation will be confirmed. Otherwise, I will notify you with alternative dates in less than 24 hours.
First, we'll visit the distillery of Tequila Selecto. Through a fully-immersive experience you will see, feel, taste, smell and hear the secrets of tequila production. A free tasting of unlimited tequila samples and a private tour of the distillery is included. Then, we will visit La Fortaleza, considered the finest distillery and home to the top-ranked tequila. You'll explore the 19th-century facility and witness the traditional tequila-making process. Of course, no visit would be complete without a guided tasting of their four distinct tequila styles: blanco, still strength, reposado and añejo. Next, we’ll explore the charming town of Tequila. We’ll sample the region’s culinary delights—either at the local market or one of the town’s restaurants. To top it all off, we’ll wrap up the day at the famous Cantaritos bar—a must-see on the Tequila Route. Known for its giant cocktails and vibrant atmosphere, where we’ll drink and enjoy regional music at one of the liveliest venues in Mexico.
