A day for shopping and sampling
We enjoyed our time in todos los Santos. The timing for the various stops was truly planned well. We had free time. If we wanted to use it or not the places they took us seemed very high quality. Would have appreciated our guide to tell us more about the culture of this town. But he was personal and helped us all to know where we were and how to get around.

Private Day Trip to San José & Cabo San Lucas: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Jose del Cabo.
How much does Private Day Trip to San José & Cabo San Lucas cost?
+
Prices start at $960 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Jose del Cabo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Day Trip to San José & Cabo San Lucas take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Jose del Cabo is not rushed.
Is Private Day Trip to San José & Cabo San Lucas worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 123 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in San Jose del Cabo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day Trip to San José & Cabo San Lucas?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Day Trip to San José & Cabo San Lucas suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Day Trip to San José & Cabo San Lucas?
+
Around 43 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Jose del Cabo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Jose del Cabo and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Trip to San José & Cabo San Lucas start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Jose del Cabo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in San Jose del Cabo?
+
On Outty we rank every San Jose del Cabo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Land’s End Experience: Arch, Beaches and Marine Life, Cabo Electric Bike Beach Adventure with Margaritas and Lunch, Cabo 4x4 ATV Tour with Tequila Tasting and Mexican Buffet Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit San Jose del Cabo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in San Jose del Cabo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Private Day Trip to San José & Cabo San Lucas?
+
Included: Private transportation. Not included: Gratuities; Alcoholic beverages; Lunch; and Government fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Day Trip to San José & Cabo San Lucas include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 72 listed pickup locations in and around San Jose del Cabo. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Private Day Trip to San José & Cabo San Lucas offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Day Trip to San José & Cabo San Lucas?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Private Day Trip to San José & Cabo San Lucas wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Private Day Trip to San José & Cabo San Lucas if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
