The best tour 💫 - Kris is an amazing person who enjoys sharing a little bit of all his knowledge about San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. And the other three Cabos that we have here! The best way to learn a little bit about the history of the place. Thanks Kris!

A fun tour with substance! - Kris gave us so much insight into the big and small quirks of the city, its recent and longer term history and their lasting impacts today, that we would just never have gotten, had we not taken this tour. This helped expand our impression of SJD from it just being a beautiful place, to a truly fascinating and multifaceted one. There also are not really other options to get the same experience. We had a great time and would highly recommend taking the tour!

Walking Tour with Ivan - Making Education Fun! - The guide (Ivan) is very knowledgeable about the city. He has a passion about San Jose that anyone can enjoy learning. With support of a great sponsor and 2 local professors, Ivan is able to educate people on the history of San Jose and the peoples that originated in the area of Los Cabos B.C.S. It was fun to hear stories such as how Henry Ford helped the economic growth of Cabo San Jose by building a road between the two largest cities in the county. Would definitely recommend this tour to anybody visiting the area.

Informative cultural walking tour :) - Informative and cool walking tour. Wish I had time to do another one that was the next day. A small group tour with time to ask questions and learn about the city and its history. Definitely worth it:)

Great city tour of San Jose del Cabo - Kris was an outstanding wealth of knowledge as our tour guide in San Jose del Cabo. We took the 1 1/2 hour version of the tour. He also offers a 3 hour option. He was very personable, fluent in English & obviously loves his hometown & the general area. Learned a lot about local history. We were just a group of 2, so we had his complete attention & could ask lots of questions. Highly recommend Kris’ tour.
