Great Tasting Experience - Axl gave us a Mezcal tasting which was a great intimate experience, I'm glad I learned the history, and process of making Mezcal which made me appreciate it much more. I highly recommend booking an experience with him!

Absolutely wonderful - Recommended! - This was such a wonderful experience! Axl is very knowledgeable and was able to share his passion with us. He was welcoming, funny, and made this a very memorable couple of hours for us. We were extra lucky as it was only us who booked the event for that night. From start to finish, Axl took such good care of us and we had big smiles on our faces. He gave us many details about mezcal and the tradition behind it: it was quite special and we are very grateful that we learned so many new nuggets of knowledge. My only regret is that we didn’t book more experiences with him! I highly recommend this - whether you are a spirit aficionado or trying to discover a new world!

I drank different types of mezcal and I loved all, I wanted all the bottle of mezcal! luckily they had bottles on sale and I bought two! I definitely highly recommend this experience, it was authentic and worth it because I feel like I really learned more about mexican culture. Thank you so much for all guys!

An authentic experience in Cancun - Amazing experience, my girlfriend and I had a wonderful time in this experience, worth every penny, we where looking for an authentic experience to do in Cancun because all the Tours are de same, this guys when beyond my expectations, they made this tasting like a ceremony and they explained us the whole history behind mezcal in a fascinating way and very entertaining. The food and the delicatessen they shared with us where phenomenal blew my girlfriend's mind, and the set of mezcal they gave us was unique, full of aromas and flavors. Thank you very much to share this amazing time with us and hopefully we will have the opportunity to come back soon to repeat this tasting. Highly recommended!

Zero stars!!!! - They stood us up, no phone call, no email. We waited at the meeting point for 30 minutes. We called 2 numbers and got voicemail and a disconnected number. Viator was also unable to reach them.
