Fernando was a wonderful guide and he was very responsive to my questions prior to booking. He is knowledgeable and flexible and adjusted the tour to our interests--as well as providing great suggestions on lunch--he gave us some options and we are glad that we went with his recommendation! We really enjoyed the boardwalks at Ajijic and Lake Chapala and Mezcala Island was fun as well. Polo was an excellent driver and we enjoyed their company. Very glad that we went with Fernando instead of a bus tour!

Guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. They made sure everyone was satisfied. We missed a couple sights because we spent a little extra time at other sights so be sure to prioritize.
