José Cuervo Express Diamond Experience – Luxury Day Trip from Guadalajara

The José Cuervo Express Diamond Experience is the ultimate way to discover Mexico’s most famous tequila route in style. More than a tour, it is an immersive, full-day journey that blends history, luxury, and culture into a single unforgettable adventure. As the premier option aboard the José Cuervo Express, this Diamond tier delivers everything discerning travelers expect: private comfort, gourmet food and drink, and exclusive access behind the scenes of the world’s most iconic tequila brand.

Your day begins with private hotel pickup in Guadalajara or Zapopan. From the moment your professional driver arrives, every detail is handled—door-to-door transport, assistance with check-in, and a seamless return when your experience ends. Unlike standard packages, the Diamond Experience elevates your time with personalized service that removes all hassle, ensuring you can focus entirely on enjoying the world of tequila.

Onboard the José Cuervo Express Diamond Experience, relax in plush lounge seating while attentive staff guide you through tequila pairings unlike any other. Expect gourmet small plates matched with premium tequilas, culminating in a guided tasting of the exclusive Reserva de la Familia®. In Tequila, enjoy folkloric performances, time to explore the Pueblo Mágico, and privileged access to the Cava de Reserva de la Familia®, a cellar rarely open to the public. It’s an 11-hour celebration of heritage and flavor—designed for travelers who want more than a ride, but a luxury cultural immersion.

  1. Ximena

    TQM was able to get us tickets when everything was sold out. This was our second time in Guadalajara so we had to get on the train this time. The train ride was pretty nice and was everything we expected. Once we got to Tequila, it was extremely hot so make sure you bring sunblock. We went to Los Gallos since we had alrady visited El Guero in our last trip. Overall, highly recommend! I would highly recommend getting the private shuttle, made a huge difference in terms of saving time.

    2. “Nos encantó el tour. Todo estuvo perfectamente organizado y aprendimos muchísimo sobre el proceso del tequila. ¡Muy recomendable!”

  3. Juliana

    We had 7 girls for a bachelorette weekend and honestly weren’t sure what to expect, but the Diamond tour was perfect. The shuttle picked us up right on time, super clean, A/C blasting (thank god), and we all felt really safe the whole way. The train was gorgeous — bougie but fun — and we never felt crowded or rushed. The tequila tasting in the cava was such a vibe. This felt like a full experience, not just another ‘thing to do.’
