Alyssa –
Highly recommend TQM Tours! They did an amazing job helping me organize everything for our group of 12. From the moment we landed to the day we left, everything was smooth and super well coordinated. The José Cuervo Express train was definitely a highlight, and having private transportation made it feel so easy and safe giving Mexico’s issues. We also loved the stop at Cantaritos El Güero—so much fun. Highly recommend if you want to explore Guadalajara without any stress. ¡Gracias!
