Great visit to archeological site! - Ramon was very interesting and very helpful and enjoyable. We loved the archeological site because it was so different from the Mayan sites we’ve visited. The on site museum was very informative and I highly recommend the tour if you love prehistory of Mexico.

Great tour focused on the Guachimontones site - This was a perfect tour to the Guachimontones site. I was picked up from my hotel (which was not on the list of hotels in the booking) and we drove about 40 minutes to the site. Our tour guide, Ramon, was very knowledgeable of the site and gave us a good amount of time to see everything.
Afterwards, we stopped in the town of Teuchitlan where we had time to walk around on our own and get lunch. Teuchitlan was an authentic town and the locals were really friendly. At the end of the tour, I was dropped off at my hotel.
Overall, the trip was perfect in terms of the amount of time we had and the transportation was taken care of. I definitely recommend this trip if you are interested in learning about some of the other indigenous tribes that lived in the area.

Very enjoyable day - Fernanda thoughtfully had us driven to the hilltop to save me the climb given it’s been just 4 weeks since my knee surgery. She provided a comprehensive overview of the site, its history and findings. She discussed the natural surroundings as well as the artifacts and made sure iur tour included the museum and the video in English so that we came away with a good understanding and wonderful experience of the day. Afterwards she stopped at a wonderful tamale restaurant which we enjoyed immensely.

Amazing experience in Guachimontones in Teuchitlan Jalisco - It is a spectacular and little known place 1 hour drive from Guadalajara. Bertha is a local guide from Teuchitlan who will give you an amazing tour. Learn more about the cultures of the West.

Ancient Ruins in Jalisco - Wow, I had never heard of these ruins or the circulation that created them.
This tour was eye opening.
A fantastic museum/visitor center. A lot of information.
You can’t climb on any of these mounds, but the views down to the lake are stunning.
I recommend the visitor center first, to provide context to the ruins.
Worth your time to check out the gift shop before leaving. A lot of great items created by the locals.

Avoid this tour group, much better ones to take and less expensive - Trip departed 50 minutes late, driver took the longest out that had an accident instead of bypassing costing 35’ more to already late trip. No water on tour bus, a bit warm on bus due to stop start choosing the route with the wreck inside of the recommended bypass route.
