  This day trip was perfect to get to see local villages and meet the people who live and work there. Time to shop and explore on your own. Our tour guide was great. We got to sample tequila from a local vendor, had a great lunch, visited a local furniture maker and so much more. Very glad we did this. It took all day, but was a lot of fun.

  The operator canceled on us. They offered us other tours on other dates but we were booked with other VIATOR tours. We'll request a refund. Not nice to cancel on us on short notice.

  Seeing history and life for locals versus tourist and resorts was nice. Our guide, Vincente, was able to answer questions and point out facts and sites that added additional color to each town.

  We had a tour with Vincent, who was very attentive, accommodating and knowledgeable about the tour as well as history of the country. We had our children with us, 17 and 11 years old - it was a great opportunity to see lives in other countries, for them. Lunch was in a family restaurant and food was very fresh and very tasty. Thank you for this opportunity.

  Mario, out tour guide, was so friendly and knowledgeable! He shared a lot of interesting history and facts about everything from culture, to plants and animals. You name it, he knew it! He cared that we got to see the things that were important to us and my husband and I had a fantastic time! Would highly recommend this tour.

  Mario was very informative and knowledgable. A good variety of experiences not found in most tours. Stopped at good out of the way the businesses including at lunch time! Let us stop places and stay as long as we wanted. Doubled back to return to an earlier stop. Very friendly guide.

  Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable and went out of his way to give us a good tour. The downside was the church was not open due to covid and the furniture builder was absent and was not building and the guide actually told us about the business. At the tannery, the tanner was there but again not much actually to see as they were not tanning any leather at the time. We were able to purchase some leather goods. Overall, we did get to see some real Mexico and some little communities and how people truly live there rather than just the tourist zones which was what we wanted from the tour. We enjoyed the tour and the day.

  Vicente was right on time and I was very comfortable with him at the wheel from the start. Our first stop was at a workshop which made tables and benches from local wood sources; then to the leather shop where Jesus took one of his custom belts and dyed it black, then finished it with something that kept any color from transferring for me in about 5 minutes. Another stop was at the Tropic of Cancer which had some gift shops with very reasonable prices on goods made by local craftsmen. No pressure at all, in fact I had to go find the clerk when I wanted to buy something. The rest of the tour was interesting, It was disappointing to me that we didn't have lunch 'by the waters edge' as the website says (hence 4 instead of 5 stars), but instead we ate inside a little kinda dark place. The people there, like pretty much everywhere else you go in Mexico, couldn't have been more accommodating and the lunch was very good, just not what I envisioned. Vicente was great in sharing the history of the local area and all of BCS. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable, all in all a great day.
