A friend and I booked the morning taco walking tour for our last day in San Jose del Cabo. “The Connecter” gave us the best tour! It was a very small group, just the two of us and he really made sure to personalize it for us. Truly the best tour guide and so kind! We enjoyed the food at every stop and he gave the best advice on where to buy souvenirs. Hector you’re the best! Would definitely take another tour by him again.

My mom and I had a wonderful time! Not only did we get to learn all about the steps to creating chocolate and bonbons, but we also got to actually paint, churn, and taste all throughout the tour as well! Both guides were extremely informational and friendly, and the bombons turned out delicious! Would definitely do the tour again.
