"We had a blast doing the tour. 125 pesos a person was very reasonable. Our guide was very informative. The tequila samples got us to purchase a bottle of the 6 year to take home. The liquor in the shop was pretty cheap compared to the tourists traps in town. 32.00 usd for Yumbab is pretty much the going rate."

"Great place to stop and experience how tequila is made. Highly recommend the tour and tasting. It’s quick and to the point. You will learn a lot about tequila production."
Dan B.
"Rosa was really helpful and showed us the process of making tequila and gave us plenty of time to take pictures and different types of tequila they make in the distillery. The tour was around 25 minutes long. The entry fee per person is 100 pesos and you get to taste 5 shots of tequila and Rosa was great showing us how it’s done !
I would highly recommend to visit. We have a fab time! You can stay after the tour to buy some tequila or souvenirs and they accept card payments. It was a bit a of a drive from tulum but worth the visit."
