  • As a creative mind, I have perfected my unique contemporary methods incorporating locally-sourced materials, introducing you to these distinct techniques.

  • The tour features some of our town’s most influential artists contributing significantly to our culture and art scene, allowing you a personal introduction and encounter.

  • Operating as a cultural connector, I have in-depth knowledge and a vast network concerning the town’s current cultural happenings. Many of these activities can be challenging to discover, as our town primarily relies on person-to-person information sharing with the absence of a comprehensive website or publication. You will gain access to this hidden information during our tour.

Teatro
Manuel Márquez de León
Just search in gmaps or ask for the Manuel Márquez de León theater or the Mission of Nuestra Señora del Pilar, both are right in front of the central square, which is where we will meet, there are no street numbers written outside of buildings in Todos Santos.

Fantastic day in Todos Santos - I would highly recommend this tour. Maximillian was a fantastic guide. He is a local artist and really knows the history of Todos Santos. He is also friends with many of the other local artists and residents in the town, which made the tour even more special. Maximillian is also very knowledgeable about art festivals, concerts and other places to go/things to see in Baja Sur. He lead us around the town at a leisurely pace where we could enjoy the eclectic shops and galleries. It was a 4 hour tour, but it flew by. There really is a lot to see and take in. We were exposed to many different types of art and got to spend time in his studio at the end.

Magical - The tour completely exceeded my expectations. I had anticipated a general overview type of experience, but we had a truly magical adventure that is hard to capture with words because it's more of a feeling. Walking around the streets of Todos Santos gave us a foundation regarding the layout of the city. Becoming acquainted in such a manner enabled us to feel very comfortable navigating this environment on our own. We learned so much about the history, architecture, and art of various mediums, explained in such a manner that even my 10-year-old remained attentive. The information was conveyed with genuine ease. Although we had an itinerary with designated points of interest, there was no "agenda." I'm not sure how we covered so many topics and walked to so many places yet never felt rushed or lectured to, but this was indeed the case. Max, our tour guide, conveyed his passion for art with such a genuine natural manner. He answered our questions and offered insightful explanations that really gave a depth I wasn't expecting. This was not a generic, robotic type of tour. As he introduced us to other artists and their works, my son was provided with an example of how life does not always need to be a competition, and that the appreciation of other people's talents never diminishes your own. It was such a comfortable experience, and Max's energy made me feel like I had always known him. It's not because he did anything in particular, but more of what he didn't do. Nothing felt canned or forced. I didn't fully appreciate the magic until it was all over. The magic is the feeling one is left with after everything seems to just come together. It's an appreciation for the history of Todos Santos mixed together with a story about art, artists, community, music, and so much more. It would be quite a beautiful mural (another topic we learned about today). This was just a truly lovely experience and a very well-spent 3+ hours. This review doesn't even do it justice.

The best tour of Todos Santos art! - Maximillian was the most amazing local artist guide! We learned so many things about the art, culture and people of Todos Santos. It felt like a real authentic experience versus a canned tour you would get elsewhere. He tailored the tour specifically for us and we even got to hear him play his own handmade beautiful clay flutes at his studio. And the sculpting portion of the tour was a wonderful way to tie in all of the inspiration we had from the first part of the tour. We will cherish the art pieces we made and the entire day. We cannot recommend him enough!! Do not miss it!

A Cultural Ambassador for the Arts - The guide, Maximiliano, is a working artist, and exceptionally knowledgeable about the history and culture of Mexican art and specifically that of Todos Santos. The 2.5 hour tour exceeded expectations. Maximiliano is a wonderful cultural ambassador for newcomers interested in the Arts & Todos Santos.
