My wife and I did the San Diego Tequila Tour with another couple, and we all had a wonderful time!! Our Guide, Nate Gilles, who is also the founder of the tequila tour company, did such a wonderful job:) Nate educated us in so many ways from where and how tequila is made and produced, to how to be able to choose a good tequila, and even how to properly drink the tequila. We all had such a fun time and we were able to tase some great tequilas. I would give this tequila tour five stars and would highly recommend doing this tour with Nate GILLES !!! So much fun!!! 🤩

We had such a pleasant experience! Came to San Diego for a bachelorette party and wanted to have a solid day time activity that was equal parts fun and educational and this tequila tour was it! Nate was super knowledgeable about tequilas and the tour itself was a lovely way to explore Old Town San Diego. Thanks, Nate for a memorable experience. Taking our knowledge back home and into all of our future tequila drinking. Highly recommend!

If you're a tequila connoisseur or just someone who enjoys learning about history (while drinking) from a guy who's incredibly knowledge, please do yourself a favor and book this experience. My wife and I had a tour with Nate to celebrate my birthday and could not be happier with our experience! It was top notch and very informative. We went to three different bars/restaurants, learned a ton about tequila and had some incredible drinks along the way. Not to mention a delicious fish taco to keep us going. Huge thank you to Nate for making my birthday fun and memorable.
