Tlaquepaque and Tonala Private Full-Day Tour
Overview
Admire picturesque streets, vibrant markets and colorful handicrafts in this fully-private tour!
Our tour kicks off with a visit to a family-run ceramic workshop in Tonala. Here, for five generations, artisans have mastered the art of "barro petatillo," one of the most exquisite ceramic techniques. Then, visit the local market, church and town square to experience the vibran lifestyle of a traditional Mexican barrio.
Our adventure continues in Tlaquepaque! Explore charming streets lined with art museums, galleries and artisan shops housed in converted historic mansions. Find everything from textiles and blown glass to pottery and leather before tasting local dishes paired with refreshing cocktails, craft beer, or coffee.
Unlike standard group tours, this private journey lets you explore at your own pace. You’ll be accompanied by a private driver and a local expert, Diego, a cultural guide with a lifelong connection to both areas.
