Posted on Lisa MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely recommend this experience. Completely professional from communications to delivery. We have someone in an electric cart and we communicated our transport needs and the transportation exceeded our expectations. The van was comfortable, Luis was an amazing guide and even helped us with shopping at the market after the Jose Cuervo experience. Do not miss the private tasting and gourmet meal experience!Posted on Leanne R. PetrinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The very best decision I made while planning a 8 day trip for 6 to visit Guadalajara was to get in touch with TQM Tours. I am absolutely thrilled with the experience Jaime put together for us. He was a true pleasure to deal with and his knowledge of the area and his ability to customize for small groups is invaluable. Our driver Luis and guide Jimmy were FANTASTIC! They both went above and beyond to make every day special. We all agree that we could not have asked for 2 better people to make this one of the best trips we have ever had. I would not hesitate to hire TQM again and will recommend them to everyone I know that are planning a trip to the Guadalajara area. Thank you again Jaime, Luis and Jimmy! We truly appreciate everything you did for us!Posted on Gilles PetrinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our driver and guide were both outstanding!

Todo fue magnífico.Posted on santiago tapiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a very good experience with TQM Tours on our trip to Chapala. The tour was well organized and enjoyable. We visited the town center, and there was an outdoor mass outside the church, which made the experience feel very authentic and cultural. Everything went smoothly, and the guide was friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend TQM Tours.Posted on M.guadalupe Macias ZTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
