La Paz City Tour from Cabo

Te llevan a playa balandra, y no te dejan disfrutar, te dan un tiempo muy corto para estar, no da tiempo de ir al hongo y luego al mirador. Te súper apuran para llevarte a encerrarte a 3 tiendas sin conocer nada de los pueblitos. Obvio llevan comisión de venta y no les interesa que conozcas. En La Paz es una tienda de perlas, en Todo Santos una tienda de tequila y en el camino una tienda de telares. Hacen una parada para comer. Te llevan a un restaurante donde también tienen comisión y está horrible la comida, además que es feo el lugar. Es el peor tour que he tomado.

I booked an English tour and we were the only English speaking people on the tour. A very tough day. It was a very long day with a couple of bright spots; the beach was amazing and Santos was a wonderful town we would have liked to explore further.

I have taken many Viator tours over the years. This is the first time I have ever left a negative review. I waited 3 days to just make sure I wasn't overreacting. Our tour began with the driver being 10 minutes late picking us up at our Villa. This doesn't seem like a big deal; however, it changed the course of our day. We drove to Balandra Beach only to be met with an hour's wait on the van to try to get into the beach area. They only allow a maximum of 300 visitors at a time on the beach, and we did not make it in time to be one of the 300. We waited in the van for one hour only to be turned around and told to come back in 30 minutes. We were taken to a nearby beach, and our group decided it was best to stay there the entire time instead of taking the chance of having to wait again in a long line just to be turned around again. We stayed at the nearby beach for 1 1/2 hours. Then we drove 15 minutes to a rest area (there were rest areas at the beach, so I wonder why we needed to stop at this one). We then drove to La Paz and had 45 minutes to spend in the town. This wasn't enough time to see anything except the boardwalk area. If you went to the Pearl presentation, you had even less time to view the city. After La Paz, we were driven to a nearby restaurant with very mediocre food. The restaurant was nothing special and we were taken in through a side door, so there was no view, ambiance, etc. After finishing lunch, we drove 30 minutes to a gas station and spent about 15 minutes there for gas and restrooms. We then drove to Todos Santos (Hotel California). This was a great area with many shops and restaurants. However, we were only given 35 minutes to spend here. We would have loved to be able to spend more time and even have lunch in this area. We then loaded the van to make our way back to Cabo. I wonder if the van driver was the guide because he gave very little information about any town or area. Most of what he did say was in Spanish and we couldn't understand him. It was our last day in Cabo, and all of us were disappointed and felt like we wasted our last day in a van, unable to see what was planned. Had we known there was a possibility of an hour wait (or longer or even being turned away) on the van to see Balandra Beach, we would have never booked this trip. The driver told us this wait was common. Also, the air conditioner didn't work for part of this trip, and it was extremely hot. So disappointed in this entire experience.
