Every chance I get, I am recommending Ensenada Excursions to anyone going to the Ensenada area! During our Carnival cruise, our excursion to Valle de Guadalupe for wine tasting was the highlight of our entire cruise trip! They are truly a 5 star business because they are THAT AWESOME! We booked the upscale wine tasting package and it was just the best day ever. Our driver, Jose Luis Blanco, was friendly, prompt, and just a nice and sweet guy. He made us feel safe and is just so knowledgeable as he is from Ensenada. It was just my bf and I so it felt like we had our own private driver. We went to three beautiful wineries in Valle de Guadalupe and we did not feel rushed as he patiently waited for us. The wineries weren't too busy since it was in the morning so it felt like our own VIP experience. On our way back to Ensenada he asked us if we wanted to stop for tacos or souvenirs in the downtown Ensenada area before getting back on the ship. He even let us stop at OXXO for snacks! Though we didn't do the taco and souvenir stop though we had plenty of time to do so, it was just so nice and thoughtful that he offered that! He was just the best driver! 20/10! The best part is, we were back on the ship at 3:30pm and the ship leaves at 5:30pm. They will make sure you are back with more than enough time which was my biggest concern! Even if we stopped for tacos and souvenirs, we were still back to the Ensenada area around 3:00pm from our tastings with enough time to do this and be back on the ship on time. Thank you so much to Jesse, Jose Blanco, and the entire team at Ensenada Excursions! I would love to try the massage add-on next time :) If you are looking for a fun, professional, and amazing excursion company, book with Jesse and his team at Ensenada Excursions!!! read more

This was a fantastic tour, even though some of the facts were not entirely correct. The guide and driver were awesome (David and David). The biggest drawback was finding the kiosk where to purchase the tickets. It took some digging around and asking lots of questions. read more

We decided to take a chance with a company not provided by our cruise and I'm glad we did. I found this company on a Facebook group I was on for our cruise heading to Ensenada. I had actually contacted another tour company but after our initial conversation they never wrote back to me. Jesse from Ensenada excursions messaged me back within a couple of hours of my initial message and answered all my questions. We explained we wanted to do some sight seeing with a focus on getting some good photo opportunities and good food. Jesse said the best option for us was to do a city tour where we could get a private tour guide for 2 hours and our guide would recommend some spots and we could tell him any other places or ideas where we wanted to go. That sounded exactly what we wanted and so we set the plans. He was able to book me a tour the day before we arrived at a great price. We booked at 10:15 and showed up closer to 10 and our driver was there waiting for us with a sign with my name and a Happy birthday message for my wife which she loved. Right away we hit it off with our driver and he took us to many local sights and places where we could get some great photo opportunities. He shared stories about the town and about his life and it felt like we were just ridding around with a friend. We told him that we also wanted to try some good tacos and he took us to a place that was amazing. To end it we wanted to do some shopping so he took us to the Main Street with all the shops and restaurants and gave us his number in case we couldn't find his car. We went to get a couple drinks at Hussong's and then did some shopping. After we were done we found his car and he happily took us back to the ship. We forgot our drives name. He was a young man with braces. I wish we remembered his name because he was amazing and deserves all the recognition he can get. Hopefully the company can figure out his name for me so I can update the review. As far as price it was We had to pay a $40 deposit with the rest of the $54 due at the end of the excursion. To us that was a great price and at the end of it all we were so happy and glad we took this trip with Ensenada Excursions. It was way cheaper than any excursion that was offered by our ship and we have actually taken an excursion by the cruise company in the past and felt like this one was such a better value and way better experience. It was such a great private tour and if we ever come back we would book with this company again. They offer so many other options and different experiences at great prices I highly recommend everyone check them out. read more

This company was just fabulous, I am so sorry that I never knew about them prior to this venture, otherwise, we'd have been using them all the many times we've been in Valle de Guadalupe. They followed up with confirming our visit, pick up locationa and time thru WhatsAp and direct phone numbers. We were picked up at the exact time and location by Gino/Genaro, who had a great van, air conditioned, and very clean. He has been working in the Valle de Guadalupe wine region for years, and knew all the many wineries and was charming and so informative. We all ate lunch at one of our favorite restaurants, the most famous pizza place high up in the forest. We had a wonderful day, and hit a few of the best wineries. My friend and I took a few more friends who had never been up to the wine country before and they were very impressed. read more

They were fantastic. Great guidance (never left us), easy travel, flexible with stops, and they had car seats for my kids. I will be booking with them again if I come back to Ensenada. Theyre wonderful! And they had reasonable prices and fast responses. read more

We booked a custom private tour as a cruise shore excursion to visit 3 boutique wineries in the Quadalupe Valley and a 30 minute couples massage in Ensenada. Our driver Jose was waiting just beyond the security area at the cruise port with a sign with my name on it. He drove us in a modern air conditioned car to all of our stops and gave us information on the area before dropping us back at the ship. The wines were very good, the massage was relaxing and we would definitely book with them again. Great communication leading up to the tour/excursion read more

Absolutely the best. Everything was taken care of, our Driver Oscar was amazing and very friendly and knowledgeable. He was waiting for us when we got off the boat and stayed with us all day. Also I love that everything is paid for at the end in one place, makes everything so convenient. We did ATV ride, LA Bufadora, Tacos, and Massage. Would definitely recommend to use them over the excursions through the boat which were way more expensive. read more

if you're hesitating to book through Ensenada Excursions and Tours, don't second guess it, just do it! It was so worth it! We did the zipline excursion at Las Cañadas, and it was so much fun! First time ziplining, and I would definitely do it again! Our tour guide, Mr. Jose Luis Zayola, was the absolute best! He had information on Ensenada and conversation for days! He had such good energy! Would definitely book through Ensenada Excursions and Tours again! And I can only hope to have Mr. Jose Luis as a tour guide again! Muchas gracias!!! read more

Wonderful experience! Booking away from the cruise line can be unsettling, however, we felt safe with Tomas (our guide). We were 30 min early to our arrival time and expected to wait but surprisingly he was there with a sign to welcome us. Tomas took us to the ziplining place, which is absolutely beautiful, and waited while we did the adventure. Afterwards, we went to visit the Bufadora. Tomas dropped us off and told us to meet him back in 1 hour so we could go to our massage appointment. We decided to sit down at the restaurant closest to the Bufadora which was a mistake. Food wasn't the greatest and we got conned into paying $20 for 2 songs. 4 guys came over playing music and just stood there around us. We gave them $10 to leave. I thought that was more than generous, however, one of the men said "uno mas" and put his hand out for more money. Next time we will just skip the uncomfortable environment. You have to walk past shops and pushy salespeople 2x just to get to the sight. It's not worth it in my opinion. Regardless, this had nothing to do with the excursion place. Tomas was very friendly and answered any questions the group had about the local area. Don't sit in the backseat of you get car sick. Tomas is a race car driver, lol! We had a memorable time and will definitely book again in the future. read more

I want to start off with honoring Martha!! She was so sweet, kind and professional and made us feel extremely special. It being my birthday I was welcomed with a smile and a sign that I thought was such a cool gesture from this company. We did the zip line then the ATV and my boyfriend and I have not stopped talking about how amazing everything went. I recommend 1000% this excursion tour to anyone visiting this beautiful place. Gracias Martha ojalá y la vea muy pronto read more

This team was so easy to work with. I planned a 25th Wedding Anniversary getaway to Valle de Guadalupe and was really counting on these guys to help make it all come together. They delivered 100% and exceeded my expectations, which made the whole experience fantastic for me and my wife. We had the trip mostly firmed up, but there were a few adjustments made late in the planning stage, and Ena and her team were very flexible and easy to work with, helping us make the most of our time in the area. On Day 1 our driver picked us up in San Diego and took us to two wineries before dropping us at our hotel. Days two and three included more wineries in the Valle, a tour of Ensenada, and a trip to La Bufadora. On Day 4, we were taken back up to San Diego. On all four days, the drivers were prompt and waiting for us at the agreed upon time. They were all very friendly and communicative, as well as flexible and accommodating if we wanted to make adjustments to the plan. We fell in love with the area and will definitely be back. We will also definitely work with Jesse, Ena, and their great team on any future trip to the area. I really have nothing but positive feedback! read more

Our driver Oscar Martinez picked us up from the carnival cruise and drove us to Pai Pai zoo in Ensenada. It was so much fun and he was so nice and helpful. He was like your own personal tour guide :) thank you Oscar for taking care of us and making the trip feel safe and educational. I would highly recommend this company for events and excursions. read more

Jose was the perfect host! He got us to La Boufadora in excellent time walked with us to the top and then gave us all the time we wanted for the experience and picture taking we wanted. He made sure we had the best tacos, and got us to Ensenda Massage right on time, and was back before we knew he was there Overall a great experience read more

This company is awesome!! I love that the excursions/tours are just you and your group. You have a dedicated guide for the duration of your activities, which I was not expecting at all, but it was so nice and made it more personal. Pablo was our guide today and he was so nice, chatted with us and offered up suggestions when we asked. All of our activities were just my kids and I as well, which was great, especially when we rode the ATVs, you weren't waiting for others in the group to be able to move on to the next spot, everything was at your pace. The price is also a great deal!!! So glad I saw the post about this company on my cruise Facebook page, it was well worth it and we had an amazing time in Ensenada! Would definitely go book again if/when we come back. read more

Thanks for everything! Tacos Puebla were yummy. My husband really enjoyed the Cabeza tacos. Eating there was like being back at my grandparents' house. Thank you, Adella and Mike read more

Our group loved the bufadora and taco stops. Our guide Genaro was amazing. I would not recommend the horseback riding for beginners

My wife always wanted to go horseback riding. This was the perfect beginner experience. The cooling breeze and the scenic view at the beach was perfect. My wife had great first experience. I'd also like to mention that our driver/guide, Chuy, was very friendly and spoke good English. He really took good care of us. We finished our excursion with a 1 hour couples massage. It was so relaxing and the best way to end the day. I would highly recommend this package. read more

If you're looking into booking your excursions here, do it! I was honestly scared booking an excursion not from our cruise ship (Royal Caribbean) but there was nothing to worry about. The communication was amazing even before I booked and throughout with any questions I had. I inquired about the zipline, ATV and La Bufadora. The price given was the price of one excursion through the cruise! Saved a ton of money and had our own driver who knew the roads well. There was construction with heavy traffic but he knew his way around and got us everywhere on time. Instructions were clear and signage were clear so we were never nervous about what was happening. Honestly was the most fun we had our entire cruise too. I would book again if I ever end up back in Ensenada! read more

The transportation by our drivers Tony & Jesus "Chewy" were fabulous! They were both so nice & caring & made me & my husband feel safe! They picked us up from the border & took us to our hotel & they also picked us up from our hotel & also stopped after the excursions to get us food & even go to the store! Everyone was sooooo nice! I would recommend this company 10/10. Pai Pai is a must! Has such a great time! Also went to La Bufadora & went shopping & had drinks then the horses.

Through the Valle de Guadalupe tour- ATV, wine tasting and massages! We had a fantastic time. Our driver Thomas was great- super helpful, patient and accommodating. Jessie's team at the spa did a great job- my husband and son said it was the best massage they have ever had. The facials were wonderful for my daughter and I. The ATV company was great- Abraham was our guide, such a sweet kid. Everyone agrees that the excursion, as a whole, was the highlight of the trip!

We are so happy with our TOUR! We booked them privately instead of on the cruise and I am so glad we did! The cruise tour was with a group on a bus. With Ensenda Excurusions, we got our own driver and were able to enjoy the trip with just us! It was so nice! Our driver Jessie was so awesome, he spoke English, showed us around Ensenada, and got us back to the SHIP ON TIME! We booked the Kayaking excursion and it was totally memorable, My father-in-law loved it and I am so glad he got to experience it! Our Kayaking guides were Ensau and Lindsey - awesome people! Lindsey kept an eye on us and made sure we were safe, she at one point parked her kayak in front of rocks so we wouldn't run into. I really enjoyed Ensau- he so funny. He spent so much time talking with us and explaining to us what we saw. Highly recommend this company! Next time we go to Ensenda will book again! read more

Jesse and our driver Frank were great to work with and very accommodating. Our group wasn't comfortable driving around unfamiliar parts in Mexico so having Frank with us made the trip a breeze. He was kind, professional, and knew the area of Valle de Guadalupe well. Thank you Jesse! read more

Book with Ensenada Excursions and Tony was our guide. He picked us up right outside the port where cruise ship dropped us off. He took us to Las Canadas for ATV riding and the to La Bufadora for some sightseeing drinks and food. Overall had a great time learning about the recent carnival festival they had and about all the interesting things Tony told us about Ensenada and daily life there. He recommended Lidias tacos at La bufadora the food was good. read more

We booked this company to be our diver for the day. We had a party of 8 and they provided a very spacious transport van for our group. Christopher was our driver and he was a great driver. He was very safe and avoided as many potholes as he could. He dropped us off where we wanted to go and picked us up as soon as we requested. It made for a stress free day trip. We would book again for sure. read more

We had a great time with the La Bufalo tour, the owner Jesse from Ensenada Excursions gave us very good price for the private tour for our group of 9 persons, she provided excellent communication and direction to the meeting point. Our tour guide Alfredo and the driver are very friendly, and flexible with our requests. Alfredo took us to see the spectacular view of Ensenada that was not many tourists know, and we ate at a local place with the best tacos. We really enjoyed the tour and definitely will recommend this company to our friends and family when they have a chance to visit Ensenada. read more

Excellent!! From start to finish very easy to book as well. Our drivers were very detail oriented and patient with us.They gave us a lot of good tips and tricks, as far as making the most out of our time and during our excursion. Everything was on time.We have absolutely no complaint.S I highly recommend this company. On another note, the price was very reasonable. We came through a cruise ship and saved a ton of money Using the company directly. read more

Guillermo, our driver, was polite and helpful. His English was a bit hard to understand. But he did everything we asked of him. The blowhole at La Boufadora was fascinating. But we had to walk through too many shops with the sellers hounding us. And then had to walk back through that area. Our group did not stay the entire 2 hours allocated to the blowhole area. We only stayed 30 minutes at the most at the blowhole and the walk there and back was about 20 minutes. We had Guillermo take us back to the ship. I think the cost for what we experienced wasn't worth what we received. read more

I booked an excursion for my family of four, to go zip lining, atv riding and visit la bufadora. I was nervous booking at first because it was not associated with our cruise. Communication from Jesse was awesome from the quote he gave us, up to the completion of our trip. Pedro was our guide and we had a great time with him. He was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and made our experience better than we could have imagined. What is truly impressive is that Jesse not only seems to insist on great customer service from his employees, but also from the outside vendors he chooses to do business with. The ATV and the zip line employees were also incredible. I can't say enough about how great our experience was with Jesse, Pedro and everyone else that was a part of our day with Ensenada Excursions. Looking to go back to Ensenada just so we can book with Jesse and Pedro again. read more

Oscar Gonzalez Martinez was amazing tour guide!!! He showed us all around Ensenada and had some great recommendations for food and the food was amazing. The way he talked about Ensenada was so interesting I just have to bring the rest of my family to enjoy the same as we did. Would totally do this again. read more

*UPDATE* I talked to Jesse. I am impressed at the attention he gave this. He really does want everyone to have a great and special experience and this happened to be a one off. I appreciate the way he handled this and for that I will give another star. I think the idea of this company is great. Going through a third party is much cheaper than what the ship packages had to offer plus you get to build your day and choose the excursions that you want to do. The best part is that it's a private tour. It was just 3 of us for each excursion. Booking process was easy. You put a deposit down and pay when you arrive. I called a little before my trip to confirm and the guy who answered already knew my name. He was really nice and I appreciated that personal touch. Had everything gone the way it was supposed to I'd be giving 5 stars. Unfortunately it didn't start off well. He said a certain person would be there with a sign and something with happy birthday since thats what we were celebrating. When we arrived there was a whole bunch of people at an intersection holding signs, some from other companies. I found my name and we approached this guy wearing regular clothes and asked if his name was so and so. He said "No" then he looked at his colleague in a green jacket maybe cause he didn't speak much english. His colleague stepped forward and I say it again, "It says this person is supposed to pick us up." His colleague proceeds to say "yes, thats him!" We were a little confused and hesitantly said ok. So we went across to the other corner with a group of people wearing green jackets and he said he'll be back with the car. While we waited I went back to the message and it did say that the guy will be in a green jacked with the company logo like everyone else in that corner. So why is everyone else in uniform except for this guy? He showed up with a taxi car while the others were showing up in taxi vans. At that point we said No! Other than the sign that he could've taken from anyone he had no other link to the company. I called the company and spoke to a lady and she did indeed confirm that this person is supposed to be there in a green jacket. I explained to her that its not him and he definitely is not wearing the jacket. She said she'll call the driver and find out whats going on. As we waited we felt like we were bullied by the other colleagues who were trying to convince us that he is our driver. We are 3 females traveling, of course our guard is up and we are extra cautious. The same colleague that we spoke to earlier saying thats his name was also telling us the reason he didn't have a green jacket is because he's new and he hasn't received one yet. Then someone else stepped in and added that they all drive taxis so it's not going to say any logos. So we told them that we'll just wait for the lady to call back and see what she says. So it turns out our actual driver couldn't make it so he tried to send someone else and the office wasn't aware. The lady apologized which I know wasn't her fault but she then set up another driver. Our new driver that we now had to trust was the same colleague that had just lied to us 5 minutes prior telling us the wrong name and that he's new thats why he didn't have a jacket. We just went. He did try to recover from that incident by talking and telling us all about the different places on the way there. We were hungry on the way back but we were afraid to ask cause he seemed like he was eager to drop us off and be done with us. The ATV ride is a must!!! So much fun and the views were beautiful. It made it all worth it. We also did the horseback riding on the beach afterwards which was pretty much like 5 min from the ATV site. Im not writing this review to discredit the company cause again the people I spoke to on the phone was really nice and the lady was apologetic and fixed the problem. And maybe it was a one off but I just wanted to make everyone aware to make sure they know who they are getting into the car with and it's the right person. I am glad we went with our gut and questioned what we didn't feel was right. read more

My party of four had an amazing time. Our tour guide was perfect. He was personable and informative and very funny.

Superb experience. Highly recommend!! 10/10 This was my 3rd time booking with this company and it's simply because of the outstanding customer service. This booking included a private tour to the blowhole and massage. I was even able to travel with my service dog. Thank you. We were greeted with a surprise Welcome sign that made everyone feel special. The ride was smooth, extremely safe and scenic. Our driver stoped for us to take pictures on the way. Super nice! We arrived at the blowhole and had enough time to explore, shop and eat. We were then taken to the massage parlor and back to the ship. We truly appreciated the transportation throughout our excursion. Extremely convenient. read more

We had a great experience with Ensenada Excursions. Jesse is the owner and had great communication with us before arriving and even after we returned to our ship. Our tour guide was Genaro. He was so friendly and gave us great information about the town and culture. We went zip lining and quad riding. He took great pictures of us doing both activities, I was so thankful for this! He sent me all the photos. He took us to a great taco shop and helped us order. We received top notch service and were so happy we had Genaro to help guide us through. My family felt so safe and we can't wait till come back again. I definitely recommend Ensenada Excursions! read more
