Wonderful experience - Danny and Jordan are very knowledgeable and provide an excellent insight to Mexican history. In addition they provide information on traditional agriculture and farming techniques. Thorough nutritional advice also comes with the food preparation and eating experience. We made corn tortillas from scratch, salsa-spicy & mild, nopales tacos and frijoles. Romenna-9 yrs old & a wonderful child- will help & grade your nopales harvest and preparation. There is home prepared goat cheese also. At the end you will be treated to an amazing Pacific Ocean sunset. Danny & Jordan are very personable and professional. They have created an excellent experience that is out of the ordinary for tourists to Cabo. It is our 2nd time doing this with different friends and I strongly encourage anyone to participate in this adventure.

Visit the real natives - The experience wasn’t what we expected but it was much better. One of the best experiences I’ve had in Mexico. The family with small children were delightful. Food was delicious. Danny and Jordan guides were so knowledgeable and lovely men. Please give it a try. You won’t be sorry.

A cultural adventure - This is a cultural experience as much as an eating experience. We learned about historical Baja and about a true farm to table lifestyle. Danny and Jordan were stellar in their presentation. It wasn’t what we had expected, but was worth every peso!

Thank you for Special experience - It was a very special experience. I left my daily routine behind, visited a local home, and enjoyed cooking together while immersing myself in their rich lifestyle. There were three adorable children, and I learned a lot about plants and nature from them. They grow everything they eat, and I even learned how to cut cacti and make salsa. It was all new to me. Although I went alone, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone, whether family, friends, or couples. Danny’s tour was truly amazing, and I’m deeply grateful. Thank you!
