Excellent! It couldn't be better as our guide Julio was very kind, helpful and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend! Next time I visit Queretaro again, I'll try other programs as well.

Disappointed because we were left with a driver only with no explanation or guidance of the towns we visited! Poor wine and cheese tasting (extremely small portions!)

This tour was very fun and our tour guide, Victoria, was extremely helpful and kind! I highly recommend this tour! We really enjoyed the wineries :)

Our guide and driver were excellent. The photos that our guide sent to me by air drop were magnificent.

Our tour guide was entertaining and knowledgeable.
