Adrian was a great tour guide through some small local spots in San Jose Del Cabo. These were the kinds of places that only locals would know about. Adrian is a chef himself and was very knowledgeable about ingredients and preparation techniques. All the food was fresh and delicious and filling! You won’t go away hungry from this tour, so bring you appetite for great local food and adventure! Highly recommended!
