Twelve hours tour, Two hours in a beach, 10 minutes in La Paz and 20 in Todos Santos. No explanation at all, just drop us at the Malecon in La Paz for 10 minutes after visiting a jewerly store. Really a waste of time.
The places we visited were very nice. However, our driver was given orders by his boss to shove as many people on our van as possible, which wasn’t ideal and/or comfortable considering Cabo’s heat and humidity during this time of the year. We had to stop somewhere and wait for another van to come pick up some of the passengers from our van. 5 minutes turned into a wasted 45 minutes. Additionally, our van did not have the best appearance, AC barely worked and took forever to kick in, and once again with Cabo’s September weather… that completely sucked. They gave us a mid morning “snack” after the first beach stop, couldn’t eat it at all. It was gross, soggy bread covered in mayo and one slice of ham. Towards the end of the tour we were taken to a restaurant, in a sketchy area with no paved roads where the food did not look or taste great and all we saw were flies all over the food. I did not touch the fish I ordered. I get trying to support local restaurants/businesses but do a little better for tourists who travel for better food in better restaurants.
It is a very long excursion, but so worth it! Balandra is beautiful, bring a cooler if possible! And make sure to hike to the top of the mountain ! The views are incredible! The next stop has waiters to bring drinks and food, the water is much calmer and the wind isn’t near as bad. Make sure to walk around LaPaz and Todos Santos.
Jesus was a great guide also!
If you’re staying in Cabo San Lucas, this is a great way to explore La Paz Todo Santos and Balandra Beach. Our wonderful guide Bernardo spent time telling us about interesting sites along the way, we got to spend a good amount of time in each of the spaces and we were treated to a wonderful lunch. I was the only person in the group that didn’t speak Spanish and Bernardo took time to explain everything to me in English. I really appreciated that. I was so happy I found this tour and definitely recommend!
It was worth it, despite being squished in the back seat of the van. Our driver Bernardo was great and showed us some cool spots. Would definitely recommend!!!
This trip was great! Variety of places to see and experience. Fish tacos for lunch were delicious!
Kafaya and Julio were great! They kept things moving in a timely manner, kept us informed with information throughout! They made this excursion an enjoyable day!
The guide & driver were great. The bus is not configured very well.
50% of the view is the seat back in front of you.
This is an amazing experience. The beach was beautiful it's truly an amazing site to see and enjoy. Our tour guides Carlos, Alexis & Agusto were absolutely great. A must if in Los Cabos.
Nice way to see other parts of Mexico. Learn cultural things along the way to beautiful beaches. Ed had so much knowledge about the history of La Paz and Todos Santos. Very interesting.
This is a LONG day, be prepared. Depending on when you are picked up/dropped off, you may add up to an hour on either side.
The pickup/drop off was a little confusing for me. I submitted my pickup, but the morning of, was called by my guide and told to walk somewhere else. He told me to hurry, so I did, but then ended up standing outside in the cold for at least 10 minutes in the dark. I waa finally picked up, but there were a few more pickups before we left the Cabo area.
The guide, Ed, was knowledgeable and spoke both English and Spanish well. His explanations in Spanish were much more in depth than those in English, and sometimes it seemed like the English speakers were an after thought. I understand enough Spanish to follow most of what he was saying, but a couple other English speakers on the tour said they felt slighted.
There is a bagged breakfast (sandwich, granola bar and juice) provided when you get on the bus, as well as a sit down lunch included (many food options, including vegetarian options), so you won’t go hungry. Ed also made several recommendations throughout the day about snacks or things to try.
There isn't any info provided when you reach each city - you’re dropped off and told where and what time to meet, so if you’re looking for more of a guided tour, this isn’t it. The guide will explain some things on the bus, but other than that, you’re left to explore on your own. My biggest grievance was that in La Paz, the tour attendees were told to walk approx 7 blocks to a meeting point and to avoid any confusion, the meeting point would be sent to them. I had to text multiple times to get the meeting point, and heard from others they received nothing (which is why I found them in the wrong location). So follow through from Ed was a bit lacking and disappointing.
Overall, I enjoyed the tour but it was a very long day and a lot of it spent in transportation. Nice to do once but wouldn’t do it again.
The best part of my trip. They communicated well before the trip. Ed was a great tour guide. I enjoyed LA Paz the most.
Very professional and well organized service. Breakfast sandwich was an unexpected treat. Tour guide Ed and driver Alan were both great. Really enjoyed this option to get off the beaten track and see Baja beyond Cabo.
Everything about this tour is fantastic. From the 2 beautiful beaches to the historical towns/cities of La Paz and Todos Santos. Could not ask for a better day, our guide Ed was wonderful. He gave us a day full of history and insight into the beautiful Mexican sites we were able to see. Added bonus we spotted a few migrating grey whales on the ride back to the resort. Did I mention how fantastic our guide Ed was?
Beautiful sites and scenery. I really enjoyed La Paz and Todos Santos. Belandra beach is beautiful and remote. All in all very happy with the tour and guide.
