5.00We really enjoyed learning about the different ceramic techniques of the region. The two studios we visited have been around for generations, and our hosts (Daniel and Cony) were very welcoming and warm. Our private guide and driver were fabulous as well, we felt spoiled.
Make sure to visit Tonala and Tlaquepaque wilt Fernando and Polo as your guides.

5.00My husband and I had an amazing tour of Tónala and Tlaquepaque with our guides Fernando and Polo. We learned so much about the history of both areas and went to a famous ceramic studio where we learned how the process involved with these world famous ceramics. We also visited a ceramic studio where we were shown how to make a clay perrito. Walking the streets of Tlaquepaque was so interesting and has an abundance of beautiful artwork, crafts and excellent restaurants. It’s a must visit!
