“This tours includes a good amount of stops in cabo san lucas & san jose del cabo. The driver is also very knowledgeable & gives you the history of both places while on the ride. My only suggestion would be to switch the lunch break to the first stop in cabo san lucas. It is a long day & by the time we got to the lunch spot we were starving. The restaurant they recommended is the oldest in the city but the food wasnt good. If you dont care for the history, find another spot!”

“Unfortunately I do not recommend this tour. Our driver was very nice but there was really not much to the "city tour" portion. He took us to a souvenir shop that was over priced and since we opted out of the tequila tasting there was not much else to do. On the Sea portion of the tour, the marina charged us $2 US per person for entry when our two other excursions that week charged us $1 per person. We found this highly suspect and we should have been notified of this fee in advance. The glass boat portion was about 45 minutes and was fun and the boat guide…”
