Entertaining and informative day trip - Our favorite part of Tonola was the beautiful and unusual art work and the great shopping experience! Tlaquepaque had very nice shops and restaurants and the food was amazing! We would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting the Guadalajara area.

Tonala and Tlaquepaque Cultural Tour - We took this tour to get an overview of the Tonala and Tlaquepaque shopping areas. The van was nice with AC and there were only 6 people on the tour. Unfortunately, it was very rainy when we were in Tonala and we didn't do much shopping. The guide did take us to a glass blowing factory. In Tlaquepaque, he walked us up the main shopping street, showed us where to have lunch, and where to meet the bus in 3 hours. Rather than being a tour, this was more of a taxi service to the two areas. We were not sure that is was really worth the $57.00 per person. We went back to Tlaquepaque two days later. Our hotel called a taxi for us ($6.00 US for 4 riders) and the driver dropped us off and we did more shopping. We took an Uber back to the hotel.
