What to do and see in Los Cabos, Baja California Sur: The Best Cultural Tours

May 9, 2022 Augustus Redeker

Mexico's fastest growing resort area offers miles of empty desert and deserted beaches. Laid-back nightlife and old-fashioned fun in the sun is the Cabos' lure. Only certain beaches are safe for swimming, however, including Lovers' Beach and the more tempestuous and aptly named Divorce Beach. Whale watching, hang-gliding, snorkeling, antiquing, golf and fishing, Loreto's historic mission, and sport fishing and dining in capital La Paz are other attractions. SuburBaja buses travel the coast.

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!

Tour was beyond horrible. Worst 11 hr day.....Highlight should be Balandra and that's what description states. Your company misled entire van of tourists and didn't even get into Balandra at all so no great views nor mushroom rock. Forget any pictures. Went to ghetto beach that was filthy, fly infested and not 1 person even went in water. Everyone just stood there in disbelief this is what we get for price paid. No upbeat morale from guides when picked up from Krystal resort or go over itinerary for day just so everyone on same page or have idea what to expect. Not much knowledge and when went to locations never given exact time like normally where told my watch is this time meet back at such time so everyone on same page. Pearl store, guy doing demonstration was rude and actually used unprofessional language around a child in group. All can say did we learn anything from our trip, absolutely not when it came to culture or history from area. Breakfast stop was only highlight of entire day. Lunch at restaurant lacked service and quality. Soup never came after asked 3 times and orders were confused when brought among entire group by staff. Unfortunately only had limited time in Cabo and this wasted valuable 11 hr day with nothing positive to say nor pictures of Balandra or mushroom rock. No memory captured except unpleasant horrible experience. Tour company and guides should be ashamed of themselves.

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.
