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.

Our driver and the amazing taco stand he recommended!

We had a great experience with our private driver! He picked us up in a clean van with a cooler of water. He gave us a couple of great recommendations that ended up being the favorites of our trip! He was very friendly and accommodating! Highly

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.

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

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!!!

He took a group photo of us at the ziplining place

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

Couples Massage

First time with this company & everything went amazing! From California & found them on Tik Tok! Booking was easy & they replied fast to emails! The prices were fair! 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. If you're thinking about booking with this company, do it! (:

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.

The wines were fantastic, but what really made the experience stand out was the service. Everyone we interacted with was warm, welcoming, and genuinely excited to share their wines and story with us. Our sommelier was especially wonderful and made the tasting feel personal and relaxed rather than rushed or scripted. One of our favorite parts of the visit was the chocolate and wine pairing that my husband and I did together. Every pairing was thoughtfully put together, and it was so much fun discovering how the flavors changed and complemented each other with every sip and bite. The best surprise of the day? Finding out our sommelier was from the 805! As fellow Central Coast locals, it made the experience feel even more special and gave us an instant connection that we definitely weren't expecting to find in the middle of wine country in Baja.

Service here took a long time to just get menus and initial drinks. We also ordered food that was no longer available. When we did order, the food took near an hour to come to our table. The place was severely understaffed and most of our utensils were dirty. Place offers great views of the vineyard. It's just about the only good thing this place has. Sadly. They do have a "Michelin rated" restaurant inside the building, curious to see what the service there is. Overall, i would say there are so many other wineries around Valle de Guadalupe that offer better services/food and drinks.

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.
