City Tour Todos Santos and Tequila Tasting

Todos Santos is the main draw here, but the private vehicle and flexible schedule make the trip easier than a fixed bus excursion. You can stop near Playa Cerritos for breakfast, walk through town, shop at Bazar Besame Mucho, or settle in for a drink at Tequila Sunrise. I also like that you get time for the Mission, Hotel California, and an ice cream without being hurried from one photo stop to the next.

The other strong point is the personal service. Ricardo has been praised for being prompt, patient, and willing to adjust the day, while another account names Richard I as the driver. The drawback is that food, drinks, tips, and optional purchases cost extra, and the plan can feel loose if you want a tightly scheduled sightseeing program.

Key points to know before booking

• Private transport for up to four people: You get the vehicle to yourself, rather than joining a large coach group.
• Cerritos comes first: Allow about one hour for the drive from Los Cabos, followed by a food stop near the beach.
• Todos Santos gets the most time: The town portion can run about three hours, with another hour available if you want to linger.
• Flexible stops: You can shop, take photos, have a Margarita, enjoy tequila tasting, or ask for a different stop.
• Food is not included: Breakfast or lunch near Playa Cerritos is an out-of-pocket expense, as are drinks and tips.
• Best value for four people: The $268.07 group price works out to about $67 per person before extras when four people share it.

Why a private trip changes the Todos Santos experience

This is not a rapid-fire sightseeing loop. You are paying for a private ride, a driver, and the ability to shape a half-day around your group. That matters in Baja, where a stop that takes one couple 20 minutes may take another group an hour.

The trip lasts about five hours, including the drive from Los Cabos. You receive bottled water and ride in an air-conditioned vehicle. Pickup is offered, so you do not need to arrange a separate taxi for the road portion.

I see this as a good middle ground. You get the ease of an organized outing, but not the fixed pace of a large bus. If you enjoy wandering through shops, stopping for a drink, or changing your mind during the day, the private format is the real attraction.

The price is $268.07 per group of up to four people. For two people, that is roughly $134 each before food and tips. For four, it is about $67 each, which makes the value much better. A couple who dislikes group transportation may still find the higher per-person cost worthwhile, especially because the vehicle and schedule are private.

The drive from Los Cabos to Cerritos

Pickup begins at your hotel or an agreed location in Los Cabos, followed by a drive of about one hour to Cerritos. The exact pickup point needs attention. Some properties do not permit the vehicle to enter their complex, including Pueblo Bonito, Cabo del Sol, Riu Santa Fe, and Riu Palace Baja California.

If you are staying at one of those properties, ask in advance where you need to meet the driver. This is a small detail, but it can save you from waiting at the wrong entrance or losing time at the start of a five-hour outing.

The air-conditioned vehicle and bottled water are practical touches. The ride is also useful for setting the tone of the day. If Ricardo or Richard is driving, you can use that time to discuss how much time you want in Cerritos, how much shopping interests you, and if you prefer a beach meal or a quicker stop.

The schedule is listed as 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Sunday, during the published operating period. Since the tour itself lasts about five hours, confirm the pickup time when booking rather than assuming the outing begins at 9:00.

Cerritos and the Playa Cerritos food stop

The first planned stop is near Playa Cerritos, a useful break after the drive. The description calls this a breakfast stop, while past outings have included lunch by the beach. That suggests some flexibility, but you should confirm the meal timing with the driver.

Food is not included in the price. This gives you control over what you order, but it also means the final cost will be higher than the advertised group amount. Bring a little extra for the meal, drinks, and any tequila or shopping purchases.

One hour of free time is planned in El Cerritos, with the option to add another hour. This is one of the tour’s better features. You are not limited to a quick photograph from the roadside. You can sit down, eat, take a walk, or simply enjoy a slower start before heading into Todos Santos.

The tradeoff is time. Cerritos, Todos Santos, and the return ride all fit into a half-day, so an extended beach stop will reduce the time available for town. I would decide before setting out if your priority is food and beach time or shops and sights in Todos Santos.

Tequila Town, shopping, and a free hand in Todos Santos

The town portion begins at Tequila Town. From there, you get free time to walk, browse, shop, or stop for a drink at Tequila Sunrise. Tequila tasting is part of the appeal, but this is not presented as a formal, structured tasting class with a detailed schedule. Think of it as a chance to sample or purchase tequila while exploring at your own pace.

Tequila Sunrise is also described as a place for Margaritas and food. If you want a sit-down drink, this can be your anchor in town. If you prefer to keep moving, you can use the free time for small shops and local browsing instead.

Bazar Besame Mucho is another suggested stop. The plan does not promise a particular purchase or product, so keep your expectations open. It is simply one of the places you can choose to visit during your walking time.

This loose approach works best if you already know what kind of afternoon you want. I would tell the driver at the beginning if you want more shopping, more food, more tequila, or more historic sights. The private setup gives you room to make that choice.

The Mission, Hotel California, and simple town pleasures

Todos Santos gives you several easy stops within a walkable visit. You can take pictures at the Mission of Todos Santos, pose outside Hotel California, stop for an ice cream, or browse the shops.

The Mission is the better choice if you want a cultural and architectural point of interest. Hotel California is the familiar photo stop, but do not expect the entire tour to revolve around it. The day is broader than one famous name. It combines a small-town walk, shopping, food, and drinks with the road trip from Cabo.

An ice cream may sound like a minor detail, but it fits the pace of this outing. You have permission to enjoy Todos Santos in ordinary ways instead of treating each minute as a checklist. That is especially useful for couples who prefer a relaxed walk to a long explanation at every stop.

Past custom outings have also included Flora Farm, an organic storefront, and an unexpected visit to a glass factory back in Cabo. These are not guaranteed parts of the published plan, so you should treat them as examples of the driver’s flexibility, not promised inclusions. One person also wished for a blanket factory stop, which is a good reminder to name your priorities early.

A schedule built around your group

The published timing gives Todos Santos about three hours, followed by another hour that can be used for the return or additional time, depending on how the day unfolds. The wording makes clear that you can ask to stay longer. That is useful if you find a shop you like or want a slower meal.

Still, flexibility is not the same as unlimited time. The vehicle must eventually return to Los Cabos, and the tour remains approximately five hours. If you add a full extra hour in Cerritos, spend a long time eating, and shop at several places in Todos Santos, the day may run beyond the standard plan.

I would use the first part of the ride to agree on a rough order. For example:

• Spend about an hour near Cerritos for food and a short walk.
• Use the main town time for Tequila Town, shopping, and the Mission.
• Leave room for a drink, ice cream, or a final photo stop.
• Ask before extending the day, so you understand the timing and any added costs.

This is not a tour for someone who needs every minute printed in advance. It suits you if you want a driver who can respond to your interests without forcing you to follow a crowded group.

What the guides add to the day

The personal service is a major reason to consider this experience. Ricardo is described as punctual, personable, patient, and informative. He also allowed a couple to customize the route. Another account names Richard I and describes him as prompt and personal.

Because two names appear in the available information, confirm the assigned driver before the day begins. That is not a concern, but it is useful to know who will meet you and where.

A private driver can also help with the practical parts of the day: where to meet near a restricted hotel entrance, how much time remains, and which optional stops fit the schedule. Do not expect a formal lecture at every location unless you confirm that in advance. The experience is centered more on transport, local guidance, and flexibility than on a long structured presentation.

The driver may also suggest a food stop or an extra visit. That can be a pleasant bonus, as with the reported glass factory stop, but keep your own priorities clear. If you want the Mission, the blanket factory, or more time at the beach, say so before the route fills up.

Who gets the best value from the $268.07 price

I think the cost makes the most sense for:

• Couples who dislike crowded bus tours.
• Families or friends who can split the price among three or four people.
• People who want hotel pickup and a private air-conditioned vehicle.
• Visitors who prefer shopping, food, and wandering over a fixed lecture.
• Anyone who wants the option to stay longer in Cerritos or Todos Santos.

The value is less convincing if you are traveling alone, want a formal tequila education, or expect every meal and admission to be covered. The price includes transportation and water, but not food, tips, or purchases.

For four people, the group rate is attractive. For two, you are paying more for privacy and control. That can still be worthwhile in Los Cabos, where the relaxed pace and direct transport may matter more than finding the cheapest way to reach Todos Santos.

Practical details that can affect your choice

Confirmation is provided when you book. The experience is offered in English, and service animals are allowed. Most people can participate, and because this is a private activity, only your group joins the vehicle.

The tour requires good weather. If poor weather causes cancellation, you can receive a different date or a full refund. It also requires a minimum number of travelers, and if that condition is not met, you are offered another date, another experience, or a full refund.

For all other cancellations or changes, the amount paid is not refundable. I would check your plans carefully before booking, especially because this outing is non-refundable for personal changes.

Bring money for breakfast or lunch, drinks, tequila, shopping, and tips. Bottled water is provided, but the price does not cover the meal near Playa Cerritos or any food at Tequila Sunrise.

Should you book this Todos Santos trip?

Book it if you want a private and adjustable day rather than a large coach ride. The strongest reasons are the hotel pickup, air-conditioned vehicle, flexible time in Cerritos and Todos Santos, and the chance to shape the outing with Ricardo or Richard.

Skip it if you need a tightly scripted tour with included meals, a formal tasting program, or guaranteed factory and farm stops. Those extras may be possible, but they are not fixed parts of the plan.

For a group of four, I think the price is fair. For a couple, the decision comes down to how much you value privacy and personal timing. If that sounds like your style, confirm the pickup point, ask who will drive, and tell the guide your must-see stops before you set off.
