A great tour day for exploring beautiful places - This was a wonderful trip. Our driver for the day was Saul, and he did a great job of taking 4 of us to La Paz, Balandra and Todos Santos. He was prompt on arrival. We were told a day before that Saul did not speak English, but luckily two of us are bilingual. It was a 12-hour day, so I'm glad we were able to communicate and chat it up. Saul is very familiar with the road, so we got to places fast and safe. We did the 7am pick up with breakfast in La Paz and a stroll along the malecon. We communicated for a pickup near the end. We queued up for Balandra early and waited just over an hour to get into Balandra. We rented 2 beach chairs and an umbrella from the guys in line (400 pesos). There's also vendors walking around selling beers, drinks, snacks, etc. before you enter the beach. Lucky for us we had a styrofoam cooler with beer and water as promised in the booking. We threw a few more drinks in there that we got at the OXXO in La Paz. Once inside Balandra we got a great spot with more shade against the rocks between the two beaches (to the right). The tide was still high on arrival, so people weren't going to the second beach, but I highly recommend you make the trek and set up there. It's lonelier and well worth it. We ultimately walked that way to see the mushroom rock. It had a crowd, but people waited for their photos. We spent an enjoyable 4 hours at Balandra before heading our. That meant less time in Todos Santos, and that was fine by us. Todos Santos was a very nice town for shopping, ice cream, snacks, etc. We were only there for 45 minutes, but I see the appeal for more time. In the end we were back at our hotel 12 hours later with many great photos. Thanks to Ricardo the tour host and Saul our driver for helping us make great memories. We highly recommend this tour.

Amazing day - Highly recommended! - Ricardo did a wonderful job. It was a perfect day trip with a great driver. He made everything easy for us.

Great experience - We had a great experience with Ricardo as our driver from San Juan de Cabo to La Paz, Playa Balandra, Todo Santo, and a couple other stops. Ricardo shared some interesting history of the area, and was very nice.

Ricardo was great! Gave... - Ricardo was great! Gave plenty of plenty of time at all the sites we wanted to visit and very flexible.

Beach Day Blast - Great day! It was such a treat too see my kids smile the first time all vacation. The beaches were amazing and the water felt great!

Great experience! Worth the full day of activities. - Our family enjoyed the beach time and visiting the beautiful towns. The only thing we didn’t expect was to have our first beach visit since Viator confirmed pickup at 7am and the tour guide said we should have left at 4am. Wish we would’ve been instructed correctly.

Nice day - Scenic day visiting two cities and a beach. Lots to see and would advise getting snacks at the breakfast stop for the beach. And if you can walk over to the mushroom to get the best pictures first.

No brainer - Man, this guy was great. He showed up on time and picked us up and was flexible and took us to the beach where we got to see some magical stuff. I recommend this tour is super quick efficient and definitely the best option for you.

Private car trip to LaPaz-Playa Balandra-Todos Santos - I reserved this tour for my party of 4 "American" sized adults. Ricardo was our guide. His car was clean and air conditioned, and he was a safe driver, and he supplied bottled water and beer in a cooler in his trunk for us. He picked us up promptly at 7am, as his confirmation text the evening before informed us, Unfortunately, he came with a 4 door "spec" vehicle. Three of us were VERY snug and uncomfortable in the back seat. Needless to say, it was a long 10 hour day. I thought we'd be having a tour, but it was more like an UBER ride, just the transportation. Ricardo was soft spoken, gentlemanly and answered our questions, but did not provide any unsolicited information about the area or our destinations. He dropped us off in a parking lot by the waterfront port in LaPaz at 10am and told us to walk toward the right on the waterfront, if we wanted lunch. He would be waiting in 2 hours. Not really knowing why we were there, we looked up the town of LaPaz on-line, and found the cathedral where mass was ending. We walked around the church and were done in about 10 minutes. We may have missed it, but there did not seem to be much for tourists to do in LaPaz. I called driver Ricardo and told him where we were. He promptly came to pick us up at the cathedral and drove us to Playa Balandro (reminded me of a State Park with a beach). We arrived there about 11:45am, and that is when we learned that we could not enter the park until 1pm, so there we sat, confined in the small car, with street vendors walking by the car offering to sell us fruit. We were permitted to enter this beautiful park on the Sea of Cortez, to use the beach for 2 hours. We were not looking to sit at the beach, we had one of those at our resort which we could access on our own. We found the car in the parking lot after about 45 minutes and headed to Todos Santos, a lovely village where we had our early dinner and a bit of shopping before the town closed up and we headed back to Cabo. En route both ways we stopped at a gourmet market, with coffee, pastries, cheeses and a lovely garden. This was probably the highlight of the day. Overall we felt we wasted our day of vacation in Baja Mexico on this tour. We expected more of a tour than just transportation around the countryside. I would recommend, if you want to go to LaPaz, check out a tour bus. It might be a great town, we just couldn't find much of interest, roaming around on our own, with no guidance. Todos Santos was worth the stop. It was a shame we could not have spent more time there. Next time, I will ask more questions before booking such a private excursion.

Not worth the cost - We paid over $300 for what was no more than a 4 hour ride and some water. I first got an email asking me to pay for a taxi to take us to the main gate of our resort because he couldn't drive up to the lobby. However, he had no problem dropping us off at the lobby on the return trip. I got a second email asking about the ride to the gate and that he'd have water and beers (included in the cost) for the tour. On the "tour", he said very little about La Paz that we couldn’t have Googled. He spent probably a total of 20 minutes talking to us. When we got to the beach, I asked about the beers as it was 90 degrees, and he said he forgot. No apology, just "I forgot". Mind you, we'd spent 2 hours our own eating and shopping right before this. He couldn't make a quick stop? We spent another 2 plus hours on our own at the beach, and still no beer when he picked us up. He took us to another beach with food and drinks. I'd already paid for beer that wasn't provided. He finally asked if we wanted beer when he got gas and were headed back to Cabo. I tipped him $30 USD only because he drove us 4 hours round-trip. He seemed surprised, which says he knew it was not a good "tour". Definitely not worth nearly $90 USD per person (plus tip), and $15 USD for a taxi to drive us a mile down the road. We could have rented a car and done this "tour" on our own.
