We were picked up promptly from our hotel by Fernando and our driver Hector. Fernando was so knowledgeable about everything and very entertaining to listen to. We learned so much about the history of Mezcala Island through Fernando and our guide of the island. We toured Lake Chapala and Ajijic and learned about the murals and land marks there. Fernando answered all of our questions and was so personable! We were so thankful to more about the Mexican culture through his perspective. We highly recommend this tour!!

The town of Chapala and island of Mezcala were highlights of our trip to GDL. Lots of interesting history on the island and the town itself was very nice and worth a visit. Both guides involved were great.

This tour is so much better than just visiting the common tourist sites of Chapala and Ajijic as other tours do. Yes, you visit them also but best of all you get to visit Mascala Island by boat and learn about the fascinating history of the island and it's indigenous people. The guide on Mescala Island shared great knowledge and some extra things like trying fruits and demonstrated rock throwing. Along the way, Fernando from Jalisco tours was there to translate and also guide. Fernando is an excellent guide. He is knowledgeable himself, full of energy and always is considerate in offering to take photos and asks how you are. A lovely lunch was had a local family restaurant overlooking the lake and transport was safe and comfortable. If you want to learn about real Mexican history and culture which isn't mentioned elsewhere then you should definitely take this tour, you won't be disappointed as it's a great day out.

We had a lovely day with our guide David! He picked us up from the hotel and told us all about the landmarks we were passing on our drive from Guadalajara to Mezcala. We loved the boat ride from Mezcala to the island. We learned so much from David about the history of the island and about the different plants that grew there. The island was the best part, and visiting the towns on the lake was also really fun. David was incredibly friendly and super knowledgeable, and also gave great recommendations for the rest of trip. Ask him for food recommendations!

Going on a boat to Mezcala Island and learning about the history of the island was definitely a highlight in the trip. Lake Chapala’s beauty followed us as our very knowledgeable tour guide, David drove us to Chapala and Ajijic. We were able to explore, eat, and see areas based on our preference. Being that it was a private tour with pickup and drop off from our hotel was also exceptional. Highly recommend!
