Best San Sebastion Tour! - Our guide Daniel was very knowledgeable, and our driver Jimmy was always ready to help us load and unload when we were ready to move on the next stop. For the price ($78 USD pp) this tour included a lot of stops and was 8 hours - well worth the price. As we wound our way up the mountains to San Sebastion, Daniel filled in with history of the local areas we drove through, flora, fauna and wildlife of the area and the evolution of Mexico and the people of the past up to today's Mexico. We stopped at a bakery for a snack and Mexican coffee, then on to a boutique family Tequila producer that included tastings and an explanation of the process. Next was a stop at a jewelry shop and Daniel informed us about the gemstones only found in this area, as well as the silver mines that supported the economy. Following that we came to San Sebastion and visited a family coffee roasting company. We visited family operated shops that were creating and selling their hand-crafted goods. Daniel also gave us a lot of stories and information about the San Sebastion as we walked the town and saw the mission. Afterward we enjoyed the (included in $78) lunch at a local family restaurant. Daniel checked with us as we moved to each visit to ensure we wanted to do that. We did run out of time and didn't get to the chocolate factory, but we were all tired and happy with the tour. The only glitch was a mix up on the pick-up spot. We were not staying in a hotel and they couldn't pick us up at the condo, so make sure to clarify your meeting spot. The messaging in Viator is really buried, so I missed the pick-up time change and we were quite a bit early at the meeting spot. I would still rate the tour a 10 out of 10!

Nice tour, luckyly our... - Nice tour, luckyly our tour group we're like minded that the silver part wasn't necessary for us. So I think if the guides asked us, we could have skipped that part all together.
