Jaime fue increíble, él nos ayudó a establecer un tour personalizado con Fortaleza y de hecho todo el proceso es fácil y libre de estrés. El día fue increíble de principio a fin. Mi esposa y hermanas-en-ley se divirtieron mucho, y todo estaba super bien organizado. Definitivamente vamos a hacer otro tour con TQM!
Mike –
This was my second time visiting Tequila and it couldn’t have gone better. Carlos was our private guide for the day, not the one giving the distillery tour, but he made the whole experience smooth and really enjoyable. He was easy to talk to, super helpful, and just great to spend the day with.
This was my second time in Tequila and I wanted to check out a different distillery. We went with Fortaleza since I’ve been seeing it more often in bars in the U.S. and I really love their stuff. Took a chance with TQM and they did not disappoint.
We planned everything weeks ahead and Jaime was great—super patient with all our questions and very easy to work with. They picked us up from the airport too, which was perfect since we didn’t want to deal with taxis or Ubers after our experience in Cancun.
As a bonus, they surprised us with a free stop at Don Valente, a great small-batch distillery that we hadn’t even heard of. And like everyone else, we wrapped up the day at Cantaritos El Güero. Highly recommend TQM and this tour.
Bram –
We’re both tequila lovers and Fortaleza has been our favorite for a long time. Coming from the Netherlands, we wanted to make sure this experience was worth the travel. TQM Tours came highly recommended, and after speaking with Jaime (who answered every single question we had), we booked the tour. It did not disappoint — comfortable shuttle, great views, and Fortaleza was just incredible. The whole thing felt personal and well-organized. One of the highlights of our trip.

We came to Tequila mainly for this tour and it didn’t disappoint. Fortaleza feels so authentic compared to the big commercial distilleries. Walking through the old stone buildings, smelling the agave cooking, and tasting their tequila right where it’s made was unforgettable. This was the highlight of our entire trip.
Alejandra Rios –
We booked this tour mainly for Fortaleza, and honestly it would’ve been worth it just for that. The place has such an authentic, family-owned vibe — walking through the stone buildings, seeing the tahona crush the agave, and tasting tequila made the traditional way was unforgettable.
What really impressed us was TQM going the extra mile. They surprised us with an extra distillery stop earlier in the day, which was awesome because we got to compare styles and learn even more. It didn’t feel rushed at all — we had plenty of time to enjoy each place.
And then the cherry on top: a stop at Cantaritos El Güero on the way back. Total party atmosphere with those huge clay cups of citrus and tequila. After a day of history and tastings, it was the perfect finish. Between the authenticity of Fortaleza and the energy at Cantaritos, this tour had everything. Easily 5 stars.
