If you’re a tequila lover — or just want to learn more about it — I can’t recommend this experience enough. Nate’s knowledge of tequila is next-level; he knows details about the spirit that I didn’t even know existed. This isn’t your typical shot-hopping tour. It’s a genuine deep dive into the history, the production process, and the proper way to actually taste and enjoy tequila. Thank you, Nate, for such an incredible and educational experience!

Nate provided an exceptional experience. My friends had gotten me this experience for my birthday knowing my love for tequila. I went with my wife and another couple and we learned so much about tequila all while having a great time. Nate is passionate and knowledgeable and opened up our eyes to the world of tequila. It was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon in beautiful Old Town San Diego. I highly recommend this experience with Nate. He is just an all around great guy!

My wife and were celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary. We thought let’s try something new and I was pleasantly surprised that we learned a lot about tequila. Will definitely be looking at labels differently. Thanks Nate was a blast!

Experienced San Diego Tequila Tour with my cousins and it was one of the best experiences we've had in San Diego. Nate knows his tequila and knows the city — great combination. Fun, educational, and memorable. 10/10 would do it again.
