Excellent tour rich in history - This was an enlightening tour rich in history and beautiful views of the desert mountains. The Mission was very interesting and the small village of San Javier was quaint. Santos was the best guide we have ever had. Being from the area, he was exceptionally knowledgeable about the history, flora, fauna, etc. in the area. He made the experience very enjoyable.

Great tour!! - We had an outstanding tour of Mission San Javier with Santos of Wild Loreto. Santos is passionate about the history of Baja California and gifted in sharing it. We saw and learned so much on this tour that significantly expanded our appreciation of this wonderful place. We highly recommend it for your next visit to Loreto.

Great tour to Mission San Javier - We took this tour as a shore excursion from our cruise ship and it was fabulous. Francisco was a very knowledgeable tour guide and Luis was his capable and friendly driver. We learned a lot about the mission, built in 1699, and had a lovely lunch afterwards (included). Francisco and Luis provided water, soft drinks and beer for the tour. Initially after booking, I wasn’t sure if Wild Loreto would be able to pick us up at the pier but they did. Since we had to get to the pier by tender from the cruise ship, they assured us that they would not leave until everyone had arrived. Not only was the tour great but also Wild Loreto answered all of my questions quickly through the Viator app. We were very happy and would do another tour with Wild Loreto if we are ever in Loreto again.

Wonderful tour to Colonial San Javier - Our tour of Colonial San Javier with Francisco and Luis was wonderful. There were only 12 of us on the tour which we had booked as a shore excursion from our cruise ship. I had been worried that we might be late in arriving at the meeting point because we had to take a tender from the ship to the pier. However, Wild Loreto assured me that they would wait for everyone to arrive and they did. The tour included a very tasty lunch in San Javier and Wild Loreto was very generous with providing water, soft drinks and beer. Francis was very knowledgeable about the area and Luis was an excellent driver. We felt that it was an A+ tour!
