CityTour to San Jose, Cabo San Lucas and Arch Tour in Clearboat
Description
The Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo tour shows the best of these two cities, encompassing the history and current meaning that this incredible destination has for Mexico. Not only the cultural aspect is important, but also the natural beauty, its landscapes, its beautiful beaches, its vegetation and of course if we talk about natural beauties, its incredible rock formations, among them the famous “Arco”. Formations that rest and delimit the line where the Sea of Cortez meets or separates from the Pacific Ocean. San Jose del Cabo takes us back in time with its old colonial-style buildings. The church of “The Mission”, the Government Palace and many other buildings that remained in time, are the ones that we can appreciate today.

I liked the glass bottom boat part and see them making glass and the food. It didn't feel like a tour. We went to places just for you to buy stuff. Not to see the sites.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the glass-bottom boat experience, watching the glass-making process, and the food. We’re sorry that the overall experience didn’t feel like the kind of tour you were expecting. Your comment about the stops feeling more focused on shopping than sightseeing is very important to us. We aim to provide a balanced experience that highlights local culture, crafts, and scenery, and it’s clear we didn’t fully meet that expectation in your case. We truly appreciate your perspective and will take it into account as we continue improving our tours. Thank you again for your honest review—we hope to have the opportunity to offer you a more fulfilling experience in the future.
Antonio was a great guide! Each stop was an amazing experience. We got time for shopping in both Cabos. The glass blowing was so mesmerizing as well as the glass bottom boat to the Arch! Our boat guides were so good and funny and the driver knew how to navigate the water very well. Our lunch at Stop Light was authentic and tasted so good! The pearl stop was pretty short but we got a free farmed pearl. Tequila tasting was ok, our host was a bit distracted with the outside crowds, but still knowledgeable and tequila was good. We sampled many. It was definitely worth the money.
Here’s a polished and friendly response you can use: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that Antonio made your tour memorable and that you enjoyed each stop along the way—from shopping in both Cabos to the mesmerizing glass blowing and the glass bottom boat ride to the Arch. We’re also happy to know our boat crew and driver helped make the experience fun and safe, and that you loved the authentic lunch at Stop Light. We appreciate your feedback about the pearl stop and the tequila tasting. Your comments help us continue improving, and we’re glad you still enjoyed sampling the tequilas and found the experience worthwhile overall. Thank you again for choosing us—we hope to welcome you back to Cabo for another great adventure in the future!

I recently went on this excursion that, unfortunately, did not meet expectations nor justify the price paid. While there were a few highlights, the overall experience was disjointed, poorly coordinated, and at times, uncomfortable. Logistics & Time Management: Our group was split, and those of us continuing on the second half of the tour had to wait while the driver dropped others off at their resort. This not only wasted valuable time but also disrupted the flow of the day. Clearboat Ride to the Arch: While the clearboat ride itself was visually interesting, the experience was overshadowed by the behavior of the host/photographer, Orlando. He made several rude and inappropriate comments and gestures—not just to me, but to others on the boat as well. His conduct was unprofessional and made the experience uncomfortable. I would strongly advise against going on this excursion alone, especially with Orlando involved. Chocolate Tasting: This portion felt like an afterthought. We were ushered into a room, shown a generic 5-minute video about the history of chocolate (with no mention of the company’s own process or story), and given a few chocolate bean samples. There was no interaction, no demonstration, and nothing memorable about it. It felt more like a sales pitch than a cultural experience. Velvet Jewelry Store: Similarly, the visit to the jewelry store lacked substance. A pearl was raffled off to someone in the group, and then we were left to browse the store. There was no explanation of craftsmanship or cultural relevance—just another sales opportunity. Glass-Blowing Factory: The one redeeming part of the day was the visit to the glass-blowing factory. Here, we got to see artisans at work, showcasing their skills in real time. It was engaging, informative, and felt authentic—something the rest of the tour lacked. Driver Experience: The driver made some off-putting comments early on, questioning our ethnic background and pride, which was uncomfortable. However, he did follow through on his commitments regarding pick-up and drop-off times, which I appreciated. Overall: This excursion lacked cohesion, professionalism, and value. With better coordination, more engaging and respectful hosts, and a focus on authentic experiences rather than sales opportunities, it could have been worthwhile. As it stands, I would not recommend this tour.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re truly sorry to hear that the excursion did not meet your expectations or provide the value you were hoping for. Your detailed feedback is invaluable and helps us identify key areas where we need to improve. Regarding the tour logistics, we understand how frustrating the lack of coordination and the unexpected wait must have been. We are currently reviewing our scheduling practices to ensure smoother transitions and a more cohesive experience for all our guests. We are especially concerned about your experience on the clearboat and the behavior of the host/photographer, Orlando. Please accept our sincerest apologies. This type of conduct is unacceptable and does not align with the level of professionalism and respect we aim to uphold. We have begun an internal review and will be taking appropriate action. We're also sorry to hear that the chocolate tasting and jewelry store visit felt underwhelming and overly commercial. We're actively working with our partners to improve these segments, placing more focus on cultural richness, storytelling, and genuine engagement rather than sales opportunities. On a positive note, we’re glad you enjoyed the glass-blowing factory. We're proud to partner with local artisans and agree that this kind of authentic, skill-based demonstration is the highlight we want more of our guests to experience. We’ve also taken note of your comments about the driver. While we appreciate that he honored the pick-up and drop-off times, we are concerned about any remarks that made you feel uncomfortable. This matter is being addressed directly with our team. We truly regret that your experience fell short, but we are grateful you brought these issues to our attention. We are committed to improving and hope to one day have the opportunity to welcome you back for a far more positive and memorable experience—one rooted in respect, quality, and authenticity.
