We had a great experience on our Bufadora private tour. To start off, our guide was 10 minutes late to the pick up point. But we were called to let us know that they would be running late. Alejandra (Ally) was our guide. She was safe driver. She worked well with my parents who are in their 70’s and move a little slower. She helped us to find someone to braid my daughter’s hair. If we were looking for a specific item in the market she knew where to guide us. And she knew the owners well enough to help us get the best price. She also let us know what was an exceptable amount to pay and what was ridiculous. Ally helped us find a yummy and safe place to eat lunch. We never felt rushed and she let us take as long as we wanted. Thanks for helping us have a safe and fun trip to the Blowhole!

Alejandra was very patient with us. She stayed with us the entire way. She knew where to go to find certain things.

Brian did an absolute amazing job on our tour, he helped us with the ins and outs of bargaining with the shops at La Bufadora as well as which ones had the best deals. Brian was with us the whole tour!

Alejandra was an excellent tour guide for us. Her English is excellent and she took her time to show and tell what we were seeing along the drive

We had Brian as our tour guide, and he was an amazing guide for my family! He really knows the area super well and customizes your tour to what you want to do and see. It felt like we were visiting an old family friend, and he was taking us around his hometown. Definitely ask him to take you to his favorite ceviche place because that was the biggest highlight for us. Thank you, Brian!

Meeting our host Brayan was the start of the most wonderful tour experience we have had. We didn't realize we had a private tour until Brayan greeted us. He asked what we wanted to see and do. We explained we had never been to Ensenada; could he give us the Bufadora Tour and show us the highlights of Ensenada. He asked us our time frame and came up with a wonderful tour. He is very knowledgeable of the area. Right off we determined we were all cat lovers. He told us about the fabulous big cat sanctuary. Due to our time limit, we were unable to stop there. He stopped at several beautiful locations for picture taking opportunities and told us significant details about the locations. He took us on an escorted walk through the business district of the Bufadora area. He is acquainted with all the vendors. It felt like a walk through a neighborhood. We were also able to see another cat sanctuary. He gave us plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful blow hole. On the way back to the ship, he continued the tour showing us the various neighborhoods and telling us their history. We also discussed the cuisine of Mexico. He suggested some restaurants, but we didn't have time. Brayan is a very nice person and a wonderful guide. He knows Ensenada and the Baja peninsula very well. We would highly recommend him to family and friends. Thank you for a fabulous first time visit to Ensenada. Hope to see you next time.

we all shared a great tour with Erik Morales as our tour guide From ship to La Bufadora is 20 miles. about 45 minutes. Lots of Shops . Be prepared to bargain . Walk to Bufadora first and ask guide for tips. The Blow hole is interesting
Spend at least 10 minutes there taking photos. if u need meds stop @ Del Mar. There are 3 of them. Very special driving up mountain. . Ask driver to stop at Tacos del Original on way back for
lunch. Absolutely Fab and clean…..,
