The 4 Best Art Museum Tours in Mexico

1.San Jose del Cabo Art Walk, Beer Tasting &Chocolate Demonstration

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 141 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $99Our pick

Spend about four hours exploring San José del Cabo with an English-speaking guide such as Benito, Ismael, Javier, or Giovanni. Visit Plaza Mijares, sample three Baja beers with pizza, learn how Mexican chocolate is made, and browse several art galleries.

“It was good for first-timers to see the town. The pizza and beer was nice but we weren't expecting a tequila tasting which we had no interest in, and we spent a lot of time waiting for another person on the tour to make a jewelry purchase. Would have been nice to know they were doing a flag ceremony in the plaza which we missed seeing. The guide was more invested in the jewelry purchases than in showing us the town.”
