Traveling to the Baja was a dream of ours (especially Dennis) for some time (on the bucket list). Being the cautious types, there was no chance that we were going to do this on our own, so we began our research. There are several options out there but we decided to plan our trip with the Baja Amigos and we are thankful for our choice. We were on the 28 day tour. The pace of the tour was just right for us. We never felt pushed or rushed be it on an excursion or a day on the road. This speaks to the realistic planning that Dan and Lisa put into the itinerary
Lisa and Dan are leaders extraordinaire.
They were always prompt with answers to our questions from our first contact with them and this continued throughout the tour. In fact our needs we more often anticipated by them rather than requested by us. Our safety was a big concern but we must say that at no time did we feel the least bit uneasy. Lisa and Dan prepared us before and during the trip on what to expect. Morning meetings prior to setting off on our day’s journey discussed every detail of the day’s itinerary so there were no surprises.
We must admit we ate our way around the Baja 🙂 but that was our choice. It gave us a real sense of the country and the people. We were able to experience so much more than if we were on our own; experience the real Baja.
It is obvious from the outset that both Lisa and Dan are in love with the Baja and its people. Because of their extensive travelling they have friends in all places, many of whom they introduced us to along the way. Our fellow travelers were a great group and it felt like being on a family vacation. That is in no small way due to Dan and Lisa’s efforts to communicate and invite everyone on participate be it a trip into town, an impromptu hike or an evening campfire. No one was left out unless it was by their choice.
As we reflect on our trip, we realize it was a great bonus to have Dan use his van to bus us around to various places, once we got set up. It made for more camaraderie and less confusion for everyone .
Would we recommend this trip with Baja Amigos…ABSOLUTLEY!
Thanks Dan & Lisa for making this such a wonderful adventure and a holiday full of great memories
