Local guidance in San Carlos & Guaymas — on your terms

SanCarlosTourGuide.com started as a free service helping American & Canadian residents and visitors do familiarization trips to the new Hospital San Jose in San Carlos. It worked great and beleive it helped a lot of people.

Along the way, it became something more: people were looking for a local they could trust.

How this evolved

I originally created this site to help people get where they needed to go — hospitals, clinics, appointments — without stress or confusion.

After doing that for a while, a pattern emerged. People kept asking:

“What else should we see?”
“Can you show us Guaymas?”
“Where do locals actually go?”

So instead of offering one fixed tour, I opened this up to something more flexible.

What I offer now

There’s no script and no fixed route. This is about showing you the area in a way that makes sense for you.

• Guaymas downtown / historic center walks
• San Carlos Neighborhood context
• Local food spots (casual, authentic places)
• Orientation for first-time visitors or new residents
• Half-day custom outings
• “We’re not sure yet — we just want to see the real place”

If you have something specific in mind, great.
If not, we’ll figure it out together.

Why this works

I’m not a tour operator reading from a script.

I live here. I know how things work, where to go, who to talk to, and — just as important — where not to go.

This isn’t about checking boxes. It’s about helping you experience the area with clarity and context.

How it works

1. You tell me what you’re interested in (short form)
2. I follow up with suggestions and availability
3. We meet and explore at a comfortable pace

No pressure, no rigid schedule.

Pricing

This started as a free service, and I’ve kept the same spirit.

There’s no fixed price list. After the experience, you’re invited to pay what you feel is fair based on the time and value you received.

Most people choose an amount comparable to a private local guide — but the decision is yours.

Interested?

Start by telling me what you’re thinking. I’ll take it from there.
