A drive, scenery, history, culture food and more! - This was a great tour! Danny was our guide along with his uncle, the driver, as a side kick for added humour. On the drive to San Sebastián, Danny gave a great account of the history. Danny was informative and easy to listen to. We stopped at the cutest café to break up the journey. We had several stops, coffee farm, Agave plantation, Sans Sabastian to which Danny gave the history of each. This tour was a nice get away from the stress of the city. The food at the restaurant was some of the best food we had our entire trip! There was a tequila tasting. A special treat was a pick up of Jack fruit at a road side stop. The fruit was cut and prepared, ready to taste. I recommend this tour for adults.

Viator misled me about... - Viator misled me about hotel pickup so I had ro travel 30 minutes to Bucerias for pickup which cost an additional $850MX. This tour does not pick up anywhere north of Bucerias. Tour itself and tour guide was fantastic.

If you only go on one excursion, this is the one. - The San Sebastian del Oeste is an excellent excursion. Well with the money. I learned so much about the local culture and history. Our guides Danny and Fernando were very knowledgeable, humorous and friendly. I strongly recommend this trip.

Fantastic! - Our tour guide’s name was Chema. He totally gave us a wonderfully fun and memorable experience! His history knowledge was phenomenal! His personality was so fun and he really seemed to enjoy being a tour guide. The town of San Sebastián has a very interesting story. The coffee and tequila tasting/learning was great too. We bought coffee and a couple bottles of tequila. We have to say the lunch we had was beyond our expectations! It was very good! We also very much enjoyed stopping at the bakery! We very much enjoyed the whole experience!

Road trip! - The most memorable part was the very long trip. It was 2 hours each way! The tequila tasting was great, the coffee hacienda okay, and the meal was delicious. Our time in San Sebastian was pleasant. It's a clean, quiet town in a beautiful location. Our guide was wonderful and knowledgeable.

Long drive, tour guide needed to face the people when talking to them in the va. Needed tour at town, coffee tasting sto - Would like to have had coffee tasting at the coffee stop and share a little bit more about the family at the coffee shop , the drive was long. Needed more information about the town when you’re at the town possibly a guy there.

Beware of dogs - San Sebastián is a beautiful town but there are many dogs. I was attacked by 4 dogs and bit by one. Despite numerous attempts at contacting the city/town officials via phone or email no one has replied to me. I even have a photo of where the dogs came from. I wouldn’t recommend touring this town without appropriate vaccinations.

Underwhelmed to say the least! - Very underwhelmed - San Sebastián is a bust, coffee stop is basically a store front. The tequila stop was good but nothing special. The place for lunch was just for tours and are the staff are not friendly at all. The best part was our tour guide Hector - very knowledgeable and passionate about the area.
