Big shout out to Eugenia as well for doing a fantastic job organizing the tour from start to finish.

My friends and I weren't too sure of how the process would be since they picked us up after we walked across the border. We booked our rides through WhatsApp and the communication was super easy. They were super responsive, and the day before our designated rides, they shared the driver's number for us to connect directly. Our driver down to Valle was named Elias and made the whole process so simple! He picked us right outside of where we came out after crossing the border. He was super friendly and wanted to make sure we were comfortable for the drive. He told us a little bit about Valle and how he's lived there for 25 years. On my way back, I had a different driver, who was Natalie. She was super nice and the ride back was so quick, probably because it was the morning and traffic wasn't too bad in Tijuana yet. She was helpful in directing me to find the line to cross the border. Without the direction from her, I would have definitely been confused. They made this whole process so seamless! They were on time and available for all the questions I had leading up to the rides as well. I will for sure use them in the future any time I'm traveling somewhere driving distance in Mexico!

They even suggested and helped us get a fast pass for border crossing that saved us 3 hours in crossing the border. Great team and service.

HONEST REVIEW: We…read morewere on a family cruise this past weekend and wanted to do some tourisy things while our ship was at the Ensenada port. I found Jorge's information on Yelp and had messaged him, requesting for infomation on his services. Jorge was prompt and advised me on my options and made recommendations that made sense. Our tour was on Sunday morning @ 9:30am. We had a specific meeting area (which jorge had emailed me photos of and clear instructions to) and it was an easy walk from the port exit. The van was more than enough space to accomodate our group of 8 people. Jorge was very knowledgable, friendly and efficient. He drove us to the famous "La Bufadora", while giving us a city tour of the areas we were driving through. When we got to the blowhole, we walked through the marketplace and did some shopping where Jorge was able to translate and make cheaper dealings for us. We then stuffed our faces at the famous "Lydia's Tacos", where Jorge was able to take our orders so we didn't have to wait in the long line. He even served us and made the experience so much easier. We then drove to a local winery tasting in the city and visited the "Beverly Hills" of the city, where we were able to look down to the entire city from atop. Jorge kept asking if we wanted to go anywhere else but my family members were all sluggish and we decided to get back on the ship. Our experience was a 10/10, "Five stars", a "two thumbs up". We had a great time thanks to Jorge. If you are thinking of touring Ensenada, Jorge is your guy. Even my frugal parents kept saying to tip him =) LOL.

From the moment you step upon their dirt parking lot, to every step climbing up to the restaurant, and overlooking the meadows, it was absolutely beautiful. The architecture of this place is magnificent. They have two stories to venture through, and I suppose a cave, but we didn't get a chance to go inside. Surprisingly it was not busy at all, and our large group were seated immediately. We decided to get a bunch of tapas and entrees to share, along with two recommended bottles of wine. One white and one red, which were both tasty. Bone Marrow + Grasshopper Sauce Roasted Bone Marrow spread over on bread is always delicious! And just in case you're wondering, yes there's real grasshopper in the sauce, and we all ate grasshopper for the first time. It was basically like a spicy marmalade spread. Duck Breast + Orange Sauce & Burnt Onion Duck meat was tender and sauce paired well. Green Catch of the Day Ceviche + Persian Cucumber & Avocado The ceviche was delicioussss. A simple concoction that looked and tasted great with tortilla chips. Potato Gnocchi +Suckling Pig Sauce, Padua, Zucchini This was also yummy. Chewy, tender. Dates + Goat Cheese & Honey This was a very delicious pairing of fruit, cheese and honey. Fried Churros con Dulce de Leche This was probably the best churros I've ever had in my life. It was extremely soft, warm, and melts in your mouth! Overall, I would definitely come here again, and next time, I'm heading to the raw oyster bar!

And that somebody also include one of the co-owners of the Encuentro winery or Encuentro Guadalupe antiresort, on the way from Tecate to Ensenada, middle of somewhere but really feeling like you are nowhere close from normal life. I heard about this place, half winery, half farm-to-table-high end restaurant, with a touch of 'glamping resort' because I had seen the pictures in some glossy mags about how the rich and famous travel. No worries, if I could go and spend the day, you can do it too. Because you really don't need to fork the $400 per minimalist-repurposed materials-beauty meets form factor cute boxes on the rocks. You can just go for the drinks and the food and you make a nice day trip from San Diego. Looks like crossing from Tecate is the easiest and fastest way, at least on the way back. Encuentro used to be called Endemico, and I am glad they changed the name, as it denotes something negative. Something that neither the environment, not the fertile nature nor the grapes are. Wine is abundant and the fruits from the land too. The winery includes 11 acres of mountain vineyards, you will enjoy a wine tasting bar open to the public from 11 am every day and an underground cellar, for which you need to make a group reservation. The vineyards produce Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Blanc and Nebiolo, among other varietals. This is a very peaceful place to be and extremely photogenic, showing all the splendor of the Guadalupe Valley, making great panoramas. Just watch out with the traffic...not the best drivers around there!

Although remote and private, perched on the hill, the accessibility was great to the tide pools, Bufadora town, grocery, kayak activities and restaurants were all walking distance.

Their policies are straightforward so there were no "surprise" extra charges. Paola provided me with our driver's contact information the day before the tour, which helped a lot. The day of, our driver Martin, contacted me 15 min ahead of schedule, which I really liked. He was very helpful and would always ask if we had a good time at the winery that we happened to visit. He would also accompany us to the entrance of each winery to let the hostess know about our reservation and also, he would communicate with me throughout our stops, without rushing us off course. This dynamic made our itinerary run smoothly. 100% recommend!

My fiance and I decided to plan a trip to the Valle to celebrate both of our birthdays as well as…read moreour 5 year anniversary. We were reading online that rideshares aren't really accessible there and that hiring a private driver is more the norm so we opted to go that route. We were considering several different options but since we were bringing our 93 pound fur baby with us, we needed to make sure we found a company that was dog friendly. Initially, this is what separated Ansell from the rest but the level of service and communication they showed us really left us feeling that we had found the best choice possible. We were coming to the Valle to spend 5 full days and we knew that we wanted to mostly spend that time wine tasting but also were hoping to get recommendations on other things we could do in the region. I had a handful of wineries that I knew I wanted to check out, but apart from that Ansell basically planned out our itineraries for us. In the weeks leading up to our trip Ansell presented several different itinerary options, fine tuning them with our input as the date got closer. The end result was 3 days of wine tasting in the Valle with a lunch stop in between, and 2 days exploring downtown Ensenada as well as making a trip out to Puerto Nuevo, a nearby fishing village noted for its lobster. I also told them that I was planning to propose to my now-fiance and they went above and beyond in helping me select a great venue! Upon meeting our driver, Victor, we felt completely vindicated in our decision. Victor demonstrated a great deal of hospitality as well as knowledge of the region. His recommandations were always spot on and we are so glad we had the privilege of having him as our guide for the full 5 days. Not only was Victor extremely professional, he also was a great conversationalist. My fiance doesn't speak any Spanish (although she definitely learned how to say "no muerde" and "es un perro fresa" during our stay), so it was very helpful that Victor is bilingual. We had many cultural exchanges. My fiance's native language is Russian so we got to teach him some Russian phrases and he taught us about Mexican and Ensenada history. By the time the sun was setting on our last day with Victor, the mood was bittersweet. We felt as though we were saying goodbye to a friend. We know we will be back to the Valle and when we do, we will definitely be asking for Victor and I definitely recommend that anyone reading this to do the same
