Reviews
"We took a tour with Luis to Real Minero palenque (mezcal farm) in September. He was an excellent guide - knowledgeable and spoke great English. He provided a ride for us, and knew of a delicious and beautiful lunch spot on our way home that we never would have found by ourselves. We were incredibly lucky to be introduced to Luis and Teotitlan Tours for our trip. Highly recommend!"
