Unique and breathtaking beaches, history, and magical towns. - We loved our tour with Fransisco. We learned the history of the sea of cortez and other interesting sites like the grand lemon pearl, Queen Elizabeth's visit, why Cabo is named Cabo and what a Cabo is and more. Loved seeing Todos Santos and would love to visit and spend a whole day there on another trip. The Maelecon was fun and I loved all the artwork. Bakandra beach was so breathtaking and unique I have never been to a place quite like it. Tecolote beach where we ate lunch was also breathtaking!!! Our guide suggested renting an umbrella for balandra we did not rent one and did not need it. There are little caves and coves in the rocks that provide some shade. Worth the early morning wake up for sure! Great tour and overview of the Baja peninsula. It is a full day tour and it is very worth it!

Excellent visit - The tour is very complete, you know several tourist places, super attentive and patient Ulysses. La Paz is very nice and Balandra beach is spectacular. They lend you an umbrella so you can enjoy Balandra without so much sun, excellent detail.

Amazing tour of La Paz, Tecolote, Beach, and Balandra Beach! - Amazing day tour in La Paz thanks to Adolfo with Esperanza. Everything was well organized and effortless from start to finish. Adolfo was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. We had a nice lunch at Tecolote Beach that was beautiful and relaxing. Balandra Beach was amazing and perfectly timed to ensure we got in. Adolfo knew exactly where to go and how to maximize the day to have the best possible time. Highly recommend booking this tour and requesting Adolfo.

We went with a relative... - We went with a relative small group with Giovanni and Allain. It’s a great trip with no hustle . No mundane time picking up guests from hotels to hotels. Gio was the major guide and he made the trip customized and brought me to where there are most beautiful views . Gio even brought us to extra spots to see the wonderful sunset. It’s worth the trip if you have limited time in cabos and still want to visit the most famous beach in Baja. I would strongly recommend it.

Beautiful beaches - We loved Banderas and Tecolote beach and todos Santos. La Paz was ok. We could do without the short stop at jewelry store. Knowledgeable guide who knew quite a bit of the history. Next time would choose a todos Santos excursion.
