We enjoyed our day in San Carbo. The trip in the glass bottom boat was lovely and the scenery stunning. The glass factory was interesting and we bought glass to take home. Our guide was helpful and keen to please us. The city looked very affluent and the beaches were stunning. We loved San Carbo.

The tour was wonderful. Started in the glass bottom boat to see the arch. Our guide was amazing and showed us all the key points and kept everyone entertained. Next we went to a glass blowing factory and got to watch them make a pitcher and do some shopping, then tequila tasting and the last stop was tourist shopping for trinkets. Over all very glad we did it.

Safe way to get out and see Cabo and take a boat tour. Picked us up at hotel and small group. Thank you!

Memorable

We had a wonderful trip with Carlos. There were 14 of us and we were greeted by Carlos, who spoke perfect English. We got into a very clean van that had complementary water and soft drinks. Carlos took us to a glass factory where we saw an elephant being formed. We then went on a boat ride to the arch and the rock formations of the peninsula. We were fortunate to see the whales around us and got many beautiful pictures of them.. The captain of the boat was great as he maneuvered around the whales. After driving around town, we ended up at the tequila shop for a tasting.. I recommend this memorable excursion.

Vincent was great. We...

Vincent was great. We also enjoyed our boat captain. All three stops were good. Highly recommend the tour.

Cabo city tour

Sherri_P, Oct 2025
This was a very informative tour of the coastline and old downtown of Cabo San Lucas. We liked the boat tour around the sandstone rocks. Seeing how they make the glass souvenirs was interesting too.

Amazing and fun adventure!

Our driver/guide was awesome! He was funny and knowledgeable all at the same time and informed us of many things we didn't know about. First we started with the boat ride, then we went to glass blowing presentation, jewelry shop where I won a pearl, and then we tasted the delicious tequilas. We highly recommend this tour!

Not a good tour. I took a taxi back to my hotel since it was not an interesting tour. Boring and tour guide was boring.

A Glimpse of Los Cabos

Lynne_K, Aug 2025
Very enjoyable "dip" into Los Cabos. Nice to see and visit the local culture. Ideal to visit the flea market, tequila tasting and glass blowing factory. Loved the boat ride portion pointing out the different areas and formations at El Arco.

Rancho Tours did not have...

Thomas_S, Jul 2025
Rancho Tours did not have our reservation that we made through Viator. No one showed up at the hotel to pick us up. The hotel concierge called them, they had no record of our reservation.

Fun, informative, relaxing tour!

We had an amazing time on 7/9/25 touring the city with Mario and Jerel took us out to the see the Arch. Jerel pointed out local wildlife and all the major landmarks along the way. Mario was very outgoing, offered to take pictures, and told us a lot about the region and the life of a local at the marina, glass factory, and pearl shop. He’s an expert in his knowledge of Cabo, and hopefully you will get him and Jerel when you book this tour. Highly recommend this tour!

We really enjoyed the the glass bottom boat tour! The glass blowing was very interesting. I fell in love with a glass rooster. The Tequila tasting was amazing!

Wonderful Sightseeing Tour

Cheryl_W, Jul 2024
This was an amazing sightseeing tour that included a visit to Land's End and the Famous Arch. The experience was truly unforgettable! Watching glassblowing experts in action was fascinating, and learning about pearls added an extra touch of elegance to the tour. The tequila tasting session was a highlight, with detailed explanations about the making process that enriched the experience. Meeting new people and sharing this adventure with them made it even more special. Our guide was wonderful—attentive, informative, and truly passionate about making our experience the best it could be. The air-conditioned ride provided comfort, especially during the hot weather, and the timely pick-up from our resort was very convenient. Throughout the tour, we saw other beautiful sights that added to the overall charm of the day. In summary, this tour was an informative and enjoyable experience, made perfect by the professionalism and attentiveness of our guide. Highly recommended!

Arch adventure

Geovanna_A, Jul 2024
Vicente was very thorough with every stop and sight we saw! The views were incredible and the time management was spot on for everything! Tequila tasting at the end was a good topper to the adventure.

Seeing the arch was great...

Meenu_K, Jun 2024
Seeing the arch was great but going to the pearl store wasn’t worth it. They should make a stop at Cabo sign so tourists can take pictures.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you for your review and very good advice, we truly appreciate your input. Hope to see you again with rancho tours.

Great experience with my family

Cabo city tour and boat ride

A_L, Dec 2022
As a similar cruise excursion was already fully booked, we reserved this on our own and we are thankful that we did so! We changed the meeting time a few times as we were unsure of when we would be able to get off the boat and they were very accommodating. We got a private tour to see city sights and the glass blowing factory. We ended with the boat tour and because of dinner reservation at The Office, they even dropped us off at the beach! Would recommend them if you’re considering a private tour!

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Glass bottom tour.

Chris_C, Jun 2022
Tour guide, Dio was outstanding! The tour was fun. Would have been better if time for lunch was built in and the photographer had a better purchasing system. Our party left speaking highly about the experience and felt the only negative part was the poor system of obtaining photos for memories.

Juan was delightful and accommodating. We enjoyed the boat to the arch and the glass factory the most, but the whole tour was enjoyable. If we come back, to Cabo, I would go again.
