This walking tour was fascinating and engaging. Our guide was careful to find spots for us to sit when possible, and he paused when traffic went by, so we had no problem hearing him. There's a long version of this tour given to local high school students--I wouldn't mind having a part two so we could all have the opportunity to learn more about San Jose del Cabo.

I booked transportation and several tours through the Cabo day trip. They are very responsible and always responded very quickly. The snorkeling tour we booked was canceled because of the condition of the ocean, we took a camel ride tour instead. It was more interesting than I expected, and my daughter loved it especially because we could see various animals.I recommend this if you have small children.

Christian was very knowledgeable and a wonderful guide! Each of the markets were different and enjoyable. However, my favorite was the first market, which is where the local's shop! Then you get the added experience of enjoying an authentic Mexican breakfast. Christian walks you through the menu in detail and explains each of the drinks and dishes. Then once you can't decide what to try he makes the best recommendations to ensure that you get to try each of the different types. Be sure to come hungry! On the walk to the next market, we also got to try some Mexican candy...yummy! I highly recommend this tour!

Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable and went out of his way to give us a good tour. The downside was the church was not open due to covid and the furniture builder was absent and was not building and the guide actually told us about the business. At the tannery, the tanner was there but again not much actually to see as they were not tanning any leather at the time. We were able to purchase some leather goods. Overall, we did get to see some real Mexico and some little communities and how people truly live there rather than just the tourist zones which was what we wanted from the tour. We enjoyed the tour and the day.
