Chapala- Ajijic - Highly recommended!!! The entire experience with Panoramex is 10/10!!! We took 4 tours with them and all of them were excellent! The Ajijic/Chapala one was super well attended by Norberto and Edgar… the tour is very complete… the way Norberto tells the story of each stop, each church, each hotel is super clear… the food recommendation was at Iguana! Delicious food with that special touch of Guadalajara!!! Definitely recommended with family!!

Good informational Tour - Overall, our tour was informative. Our guide was Norberto and he had a lot of knowledge that he shared with us. The tour itself could of been organized better at time of drop off. We were picked up from our hotel but later found out they couldn't drop us off back at our hotel and tried their best to get us as close as possible. The 3 portillos ranch was closed due to an event. Which should be posted prior to booking tour that it is not guaranteed to be open. Overall, I would recommend if you simply need a ride to chapala to sight see. But, don't expect the full package experience of being dropped off too and the 3 portillos ranch to be open when you visit. If you're ok with that then I would suggest to book this tour.
