Late & unorganized

Rebecca_L, May 2024

They tried to change times on us super last minute then showed up more than 20mins late so we had to cancel. The cars also do not look like the pictures

Not much to see

Darlene_S, Apr 2024

We were on a cruise ship and had prearranged this tour. Pick up went smoothly except our first stop was at the gas station to get gas and put air in the tires. The only memorable stop was at the ocean just to see the beach. basically there’s nothing to see on a car tour in Ensenada. I would suggest spending your time differently.

Book this! Exactly what we wanted for our first trip to Ensanada!

Mechelle_R, Apr 2024

HIGHLY Recommend! This was an amazing excursion. Traveling with mom who uses a walker. Rafael the owner was so accommodating and helpful from the minute I booked online to finishing the tour. Ana our driver was engaging, super sweet, and fun! We learned so much about Ensenada and the history. We got to see popular sites and local favorites. Margaritas were amazing, but the people made it special. Thank you Rafael and Ana for the most memorable part of our trip!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Unique experience and friendly guide. Picked up at the port of our cruise ship. Anna was our guide and her English was great

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you for your comments, it was a great pleasure to be able to meet you and show you a little of the beauty of this city.

Great time!

Shannon_P, Jan 2024

Rafael was very nice and accommodating with us and my mother’s foldable walker. His English was good and we never felt rushed. Nice excursion, I would recommend it to anyone that wants an overview of Ensenada with little walking.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hello, thank you for your comments. It was nice to be able to meet you and receive you here in Ensenada. We hope to see you soon.

If you want the best Mango margaritas, Rafael knows.

Alan_L, Jan 2024

Our driver Rafael did an outstanding job of explaining the history of Ensenada. The highlight of the tour was the stop at the Rivera de Ensenada where I had the best Mango margaritas I have ever had.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thanks to it being a pleasure to receive you and be your host in Ensenada we hope to see you soon

Unique experience and enjoyable afternoon!

Nancy_C, Nov 2023

This was a cruise port stop and I had to find something that my husband (who has Aphasia) could enjoy. This was a perfect choice. We were picked up at the Corona Hotel, as requested, before heading to the beach for a photo stop; then onto the Alter where a beautiful wedding was about to take place on the lawn. If you stop, be sure to get a Margarita Mango...the best. After this stop we requested fish tacos. Now that's what a fish taco is suppose to taste like - absolutely delicious. Yes, it was from a sparkling clean food truck...and not walkable from the ship, but simply amazing. Our tour guide was so genuine and helpful, which made for a lovely afternoon ride. No request was too much to ask...thank you!!!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Hi Nancy, thank you for your comments. It was really a pleasure for us to be able to help you and your husband have a pleasant time and if the tacos taste very good, we hope to see you soon.

Good time and ver informative

Jeannine_N, Oct 2023

Good tour guide was very accommodating. He took pictures and was willing to wait for us to get a drink or ride horses. We didn’t do the horses because it was a cloudy day but was a nice time anyway. The guide was on time and picked us up close to the cruise pier.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thanks Jeannine was pleasure for us to be your tour guide in ensenada hope to see you soon

Model T Tour

Donna_M, Oct 2023

The car was fun, but the actual tour was lacking. Only went to 4 sites and there was little to no commentary while driving.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Hi Donna, we appreciate your comment, it is important to us so we will provide better service. About the places you visited, believe me, Ensenada is very small and unfortunately there are not many places to visit in the city. Also remember that the tour time is 90 to 120 minutes. We hope to see you soon. Thank you.

Best way to explore Ensenada!

Craig_G, Aug 2023

Our driver Rafael was super nice and friendly. He was very knowledgeable of the area and gave us a great tour. He showed us the while city, not just the tourists areas. He gave us options as to what he could show us and let us explore places at our own pace. He even paused the tour so I could take my daughter horseback riding on the beach. He provided us with dining recommendations including some of the local's favorites. Definitely wouldn't of got this kind of experience going with one of the cruise ship packages and definitely a better value.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you for your comments. It is a pleasure for us to know that your tourist experience in Ensenada met your expectations. We hope to see you soon.

Fun short tour with delicious food!

Diana_T, Jul 2023

It was our first time in Ensenada and this was a fun short tour to go on if you don't have much time. Rafael, the owner, was a great tour guide. He texted me a few days before to let me know where the meet up point was. My friend and I were coming off of a cruise and if you are too, give yourself some time to walk towards the meeting point. He was 15 minutes early and came around the corner honking the old school horn! We immediately knew this was going to be a fun tour. Our first stop was by the beach where you can go horse back riding. We opted not to ride horses and Raphael helped take our photos. We weren't big drinkers so he was able to change the itinerary for us and took us to a street vendor that he recommended that had amazing fish tacos, shrimp tacos, and chimichangas. It WAS DELICIOUS. The street vendor was so kind and helpful too. Would definitely recommend! As Raphael drove around, he would give us information and history about the area while driving. We went to Centro Social Cívico Cultural Riviera de Ensenada to have a margarita at Bar Andaluz and take a look around where it used to be a hotel and casino. Next stop we asked if we could go souvenir shopping so Raphael drove us through the downtown area where the shops were and showed us another shopping area where the prices were a bit less expensive than on the Main Street. He was able to drop us off at any location requested so we went souvenir shopping. Make sure to bring some cash if you're going to purchase food, drinks, souvenirs! Overall, a fun short tour and Raphael was friendly, helpful, funny, made us feel safe, and I appreciated his flexibility. My only suggestion is needing a bit more time to enjoy the margaritas, food, and shopping so we're not pressed for time, so if the tour was 3 hours instead of 2.5, I think that would have been perfect. Thank you Rafael!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Great tour of Ensenada

Jenny_H, Jun 2023

Our driver was very knowledgeable and took us to interesting spots. We got to sample margaritas, wine, and local street tacos. We did not feel rushed and he was able to drop us off where we wanted to. It was a good way to sample the city as we were traveling with a child. Would recommend!

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you Jenny, it is always a great pleasure to know that you are satisfied with our work, we hope to see you soon

Short Tour but Vehicles and Driver Made it Fun

Ronald_H, Apr 2023

Fun activity and friendly staff. Our carivan of little cars visited local highlights of Ensenada, but the vehicles range and speed limited what you were able to see in the one hour tour. Our tour highlights were the beach, Riviera Hotel, winery (in-town), drive-by of Hussong's Cantina and drop-off in main shopping area. I thought the cost was a little high for the limited time tour. Overal we enjoyed it and would recommend it to friends.

Response from Host, May 2023

Hello, thank you for your comments, they help us to do our job better. Regarding the duration of the tour, it's so much fun that time flies by without realizing it. I probably didn't notice it, but it took 1 hour and 45 minutes. We hope to see you soon in Ensenada.

Custom Tour

Cynthia_D, Nov 2022

The itinerary given on Viator was incorrect, but our driver took us wherever we wanted. We had booked 2 cars for our group of 6 and they offered for us to use a bigger car for us all to fit. We had a group ages 14-mid 60s and everyone enjoyed it.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thank you for your comments and we apologize sometimes for the time or even the day it is impossible for us to stick to the original tour we try to do it as close as possible always trying to please our customers we know they had fun and enjoyed the tour and that is what we it makes me feel better. Please, if you return to Ensenada one day, do not hesitate to contact us to offer you a courtesy tour.
