Awesome experience

Kathy_H, Dec 2025
Our tour guide urial was fantastic. Knowledgeable, super attentive. Told us all about the town, history. It was fun. Definitely would recommend to anyone

Great intro activity to Los Cabos

Kari_B, Oct 2025
This was our first activity in Cabo and a great way to get your bearings on the area. The glass bottom boat experience is iconic and that team was very fun. Our guide, Mario, was knowledgeable and very fun to chat with on the drive to San Jose del Cabo. In Cabo San Lucas, we visited a glass blowing shop and a tequila tasting.

Best Tour in Cabo!!

Tempest, Aug 2025
Vincente was our driver he was super nice and friendly, very knowledgeable along the tour. our boat captain was Curacel(not sure of the spelling). He was also very nice and informative. Super friendly. I enjoyed seeing the best of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose Del Cabo. And the glass blowing facility as well as seeing El Arco.

First Half Amazing

Mary_R, Jan 2025
First half of this tour was amazing. Glass blower was so talented and items for sale very reasonable. Boat ride was the best. Water was beautiful. Rock formations amazing. The arches were incredible. Our guide very good. We unexpectedly saw some whales which were not part of the tour. What a bonus. But then the tour fell apart. We were taken to a tequila tasting business and a jewelry store known for pearls neither which were part of the tour nor did we want to do these stops. Then we did not book the tour with lunch but others had so we sat outside while the others and the guide ate. The restaurant we stopped at was not near anything else to explore. We were supposed to see the beautiful Cabo but the driver chose to take shortcuts by navigating unpacked dirt roads which were bone jarring and less than beautiful. The shopping area we were dropped off at had a few shops but nothing exciting. I feel as though the afternoon was a bomb.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Hi, thank you for taking the time to share your comments with us. We are happy you enjoyed the boat tour and that the guide was very Good. Regarding the store stops, we like to take our tourist to check out our traditional Mexican stores where they can learn a little from the Baja Californian state of mexico, like it is the Pearl Shop where they share how the pearls are harvest, and as well with the Tequila Shop, they share how tequila is made and then you get try the differernt kinds of tequila, althoug this is optional, non of the clients are obligated to try or buy anything. Regardind the dirt roads sometimes we take shorts cuts to avoid the heavy traffic from the city. We highly appreciate your thougts, as always we work on these so we can provide an excellent service for all of our customers Best,

A word to the Wise

David_V, Jan 2025
The pictorial representations of “multiple activities” is misleading and deceptive. For the “six hour excursion,” there was a 45 minute boat ride, followed by a narrated tour of the city of Cabo with stops specifically at places where the driver has incentivized connections. The lunch restaurant was arranged to provide mediocre food for $25 per person. I am sorry to have to report this disappointment, but I would feel worse not to warn others who come after me.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to share your comments, our goal is to take our clients to specific places for cultural purposes, our clients are not obligated to buy any kind of products in the places they are taken, although we do give people shopping time so they can buy souvenirs. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced in the tour, we will work on these details to provide a better service in the future. If you are still in town and if you have the chance we can provide 2x1 in our whale watching tour to make it up for you or a free ticket for the Lands End Tour. Warm regards.

Excellent Experience

Prakash_R, Dec 2024
Beautiful experience on the water seeing the Cabo San Lucas Arch, sea lions, beaches followed by nice land tour of the city. Glass making was awesome to see. Guide Mario was excellent.

Mary_R, Sep 2024
The boat tour to the Arch, lover's beach, city tour to San Jose and Cabo San Lucas, Glass-blowing factory and a wonderful lunch are all worth for your money. It was a wonderful experience! It exceeds my expectation.

Fun very good guide glass making was interesting. Lunch was very good as well. More than enough time to shop and explore downtown

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Hello, thank you for sharing your experiece with us, we are happy you enjoyed the tour, we hope to see you back soon! Best!

Waste of time and money. check out what your guides are doing!!!!!

Nick_F, Jun 2024
The description was explore the city and shopping, Our guide talked more about the hotels on the tourist highway and marina than any town history. We drove around the tourist part of both towns, the lunch was fair at best and it seems as thought they could not get us out fast enough, not even accommodating the other couple with another drink they requested. the shopping was a flee market that was so crowded you couldn't think and we were approached sometimes aggressively by the vendors it was so unappealing. One vendor was trying to put a dress on my wife after she said no so persistently that I had to raise my voice and tell her no. The next town we went to after lunch would have been a much more suitable place to shop but we were only given 30 minutes to walk around we were dropped off on a corner and were told he would pick us up at that corner. No explanation where we were or any history except its not so touristy. The trip would have been much nicer had it not been for the flee market and the lack of interest from the driver. Our tour was nothing like the reviews, another example of we are just tourists and the driver didn't care if we got our moneys worth. One of the other passengers made the comment "I have never lied so much" when asked how was the trip so far and the food we had for lunch. I wish I was there to hear the question but I wasn't because none of us were happy about the ride.

Kimberly_A, May 2024
We had a wonderful adventure. Our tour guide Uriel was so knowledgeable and shared a lot of history and cultural content. He was very friendly and made the tour extremely fun! It was a very nice way to see some of the hot spots while enjoying a nice relaxing tour. We had a great time!

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thanks for sharing journey and adventure with Uriel. We are so happy your time with rancho tours was wonderful and hope to see you again in the future . Thank you

A great time in Cabo!

Dawnell_R, May 2024
We had a great time on this excursion. We had a large family group that included my elderly parents ages 79 & 83. They were fantastic with them, especially considering we brought 2 wheelchairs to wheel them around at our stops. Our guide was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the tour very much. Due to our cruise ship time restraints we were unable to have the lunch so I cannot comment on that.

Response from Host, May 2024

So lovely to hear truly a magical time to spend on one of tours. Our family groups are important to us especially our seniors and we are so happy it all worked out . We hope to see you again with Rancho Tours.

Great day - minus lunch.

Emily_G, Apr 2024
While our group had a great time, and enjoyed exploring Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, everyone in our party was disappointed with the lunch experience. We all opted out of the included lunch because we didn’t want the limited prix fix menu. People in our party learned on a similar tour in the past that if you opt out of the included lunch, you are able to select from items on the full menu at the lunch location and pay your own invoice. However, our tour guide, Carlos, forced everyone to select from 10 items on a sheet of paper so he could order in advance of our arrival. When we arrived we realized this was the limited menu option and we were not offered menus. After the meal, he insisted we each pay the $26 in cash to him and we were not given out individual invoices. The entire reason we all opted out of the included menu was because it was a waste and people in our party did not have enough cash to pay because we were not told this in advance. It was a disappointing experience, even though the food was fresh. That being said, the boat tour to El Arco was awesome, as was the glass blowing studio - the guys working there are so talented. And meeting Ray at the tequila tasting was great - we all learned a LOT and found some new tequila we'd never thought we'd like. We all could've skipped the jewelry store stop, though. All in all, it was a great day and we enjoyed it!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

We appreciate your detailed information and informative issue with the meals we will make sure we bring it up to management to see how we can better this part of the tour and make it easier for everyone with or without the lunch. Thanks again really happy that over all it was a great time !

Excellent experience seeing the sights.

Shannon_H, Mar 2024
The glass bottom boat ride was amazing. Our captain did an excellent job. The tour of San Jose Del Cabo was beautiful. Our driver Vincente was very knowledgeable and courteous. More opportunities to take photos would have been appreciated.

Los Cabos vacation

MILAGROS_R, Dec 2023
Our tour guide Mario is very good. He speaks English very well for tourists who are English speaking. He is very knowledgeable of the places we went. We were picked up from our hotel on time. It was a good value for our money. What I loved the most was the boat tour to the arch. Tequila tasting was fun. I got to taste different flavors and ages of tequila. The blown glass factory was also amazing. This is the first time I used Viator and so far I like it. For tourists wanting to come to Cabos, I recommend booking with Viator. I also booked our transport from the airport to the hotel and back at a very reasonable price; very convenient.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thanks for your review we appreciate your positive and detailed review !! So happy your experience was a good one and we hope to see you again with Rancho Tours.

It’s worth it

Myra_G, Dec 2023
The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Lunch was good and shopping. They prefer cash instead of credit card so make sure u have cash. Highly recommend.

Pretty Good and Long Day

Mary_S, Dec 2023
Boat Ride was wonderful but don't buy the photos, Glass Factory very cool, Tequila tasting fun, lunch very good, pearl store and chocolate tasting very informative and interesting. Overall a good experience, but this is a long day and you will spend a lot of time in the van and driving around Los Cabos seems to take forever. I wish we could have seen a bit more of San Jose del Cabo in an informative way. This is definitely a shopping trip in the end, so keep that in mind. I was hoping for more of a city highlights tour, but it was a good day.

Weekend getaway

Our guides were most helpful but there was no one on the dock to meet us. We walked around for 40 minutes trying to figure out where the van was that was meeting us. Finally someone from a local shop called the office and we were able to connect. Apparently the van couldn't find a parking place and drove around. Quite frustrating

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Hi Thank you for your review and we apologize for this inconvenience we strive for excellency and we appreciate your feedback and will make sure this will not happen again for our customers. We hope to see you again In Cabo San Lucas and with Rancho Tours. Thanks again !!!

Less than spectacular

ERMA358, Oct 2021
Good boat experience but the rest of the tour was subpar. The time in the van was excessive and the restaurant was terrible. Guide missed the opportunity to make it memorable by focusing on irrelevant and trivial things rather than the sites

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Hi Thank your review and take each and everyone one of them very seriously . We will continue to better our service . Hope we can provide a better experience in the future. Thanks again !

Great Tour

Danielle_P, Aug 2021
Juan was great. Weather stopped us from being able to the glass bottom, but I was told to call today and see if the ports were ope. Other than missing that, I loved it.

Response from Host, Aug 2021
