Thinking about dining out in Los Cabos but wary of the hassle of getting there and back? This private round-trip transfer service might be just what you need. It’s designed for small groups—up to 12 people—and focuses on making your evening smooth, safe, and comfortable. While it’s not a full-on tour with included meals or entertainment, the value lies in the convenience and peace of mind it offers.
What really caught our eye is the door-to-door service, which takes the stress out of transportation, especially after a long day of sightseeing or relaxing. Plus, the private, bilingual driver means you get personalized attention and can customize your experience. On the flip side, it’s pretty straightforward—there’s no dining included, so you’ll need to make your reservations beforehand, which could be a step some travelers forget. But if you’re planning a special dinner in Los Cabos and want to avoid parking, taxis, or ride-shares, this could be a real game-changer.
This experience seems particularly well-suited for small groups or families who value convenience and want to keep things simple. If you love the idea of a private chauffeur to take you around town without fuss, this service should serve you well. Just keep in mind that it’s a transportation-only service, so if you’re looking for a guided tour or an all-in-one experience, you might need to explore other options.

The Ride and the Experience

When we picture this tour, it’s really more about the transportation experience than the dinner itself. The service gives you a luxurious, air-conditioned van that comfortably fits up to 12 people. The ride begins with a pickup from your hotel or accommodation in Puerto Los Cabos. The driver will greet you with a friendly attitude and some tunes to set the mood. It’s a small touch, but it makes a difference—kicking things off with some good music helps get everyone relaxed and excited for the night ahead.
The driver will take you directly to your chosen restaurant, which you select beforehand from a list of top spots in different zones—Puerto Los Cabos, San José del Cabo, the Tourist Corridor, or Cabo San Lucas. The list includes popular options like Acre Restaurant, Casa Don Rodrigo, and La Dolce in various areas, so you’re likely to find a place that suits your taste and location needs. Just be sure to reserve your dinner spot before booking the transfer—this isn’t included in the price.
What we liked is that during the ride, the driver can offer suggestions or help coordinate your plans. It’s a private service, so there’s no waiting for a group or sharing a vehicle with strangers. The 1.5 hours allocated for dinner offers plenty of time to enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. Once you’re finished, your driver will be waiting to pick you up. The evening doesn’t have to end there: if you want to explore Cabo’s after-hours scene, you can ask your driver to drop you off at a bar or club for an extra fee.

The Drop-Off and Flexibility
The drop-off points are organized by zone, which is helpful when choosing your restaurant. For instance, if you’re craving an upscale meal at Cabo’s renowned Nobu Restaurant, you’d select the Pacific Side zone. If you prefer a more casual vibe in San José del Cabo, options like Los Tres Gallos or Jardín Secreto are available. This zoning system ensures you’re not wasting time in transit and can enjoy your evening without unnecessary detours.
The return is just as straightforward. Your driver will pick you up from the restaurant and take you back to your hotel or accommodation in Puerto Los Cabos. If you decide to continue your night out, you can arrange for the driver to drop you at a different location or even at a club, though remember additional fees apply.
Value for Money

At $160 per group (up to 12 people), this service is quite reasonable, especially considering the level of comfort and convenience. When you think about splitting that cost among friends or family, it’s often less expensive than taxis or ride-shares, plus it guarantees a private ride. It’s perfect for travelers who want to avoid the hassle of coordinating multiple taxis or dealing with language barriers on the local transport.
However, keep in mind that the service does not include the dinner itself—so your bill will be for the meal plus the transfer. Make sure to reserve ahead of time, as last-minute restaurant bookings might be tough, and the driver’s time is tied to your reservation. Also, if you’re planning to extend your night or make multiple stops, extra charges will apply.
Practical Tips for Booking and Using This Service

- Reserve your restaurant before booking the transfer. This way, the driver knows where to drop you off and pick you up.
- Communicate your hotel or accommodation clearly during the booking process, especially if it’s not on the provided list.
- Select your zone carefully based on your preferred restaurant location. This minimizes transit time and maximizes your dinner and after-dinner enjoyment.
- Plan for extra hours if you think you’ll be out longer than 1.5 hours. The service charges for additional time, so it’s good to clarify those costs beforehand.
- Check the cancellation policy—full refunds are available if canceled at least 24 hours in advance, but no refunds within 24 hours.
- Bring your ID and confirmation details to smoothly check-in with the driver.
Who Is This Tour Best For?

If you prioritize comfort, privacy, and flexibility, this service makes a lot of sense.

Travelers who want a hassle-free way to enjoy Los Cabos’ culinary scene—whether at high-end restaurants or local favorites—will appreciate the convenience this service offers. It’s not for someone looking for guided tours or all-in-one experiences, but if you value personalized transportation and a flexible evening plan, it hits the mark.
