Great tour! - We had a wonderful time with our guide. He so clearly loves this city and it was clear with the stories he told and the points of interest he discussed on our tour. He also filled in each location with historical context that helped us understand the streets and building we were visiting. It was an experience everyone in our family loved (adults and our 9yo child). Would recommend!

San José del Cabo through a local’s eyes - Kristian is a born-and-raised local who has a large breadth of knowledge of history , nature, culture and more. In just 90min he took us on a narrative journey spanning hundreds of years , as framed by the city blocks of the Art District. Most highly recommended

History at its best - I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy this tour but we learned so much. This is my 3rd time to this area and heard the true history about the culture and corrected some blended myths or made up tourists names of landmarks etc. Our guide Kristian was excellent. Engineer turned surf instructor is back to doing what he loves and was excellent. He is Extremely knowledgeable and proud of his heritage. My mom is 78 and not able to walk fast or extremely long periods. There were plenty of benches and our guide was accommodating. We ended w an excellent dinner recommendations by Kristian. Highly recommend this for all ages and anyone wanting to learn correct history and culture of the area.
