Best tour and guide ever!! - I wasn't sure what to expect for this tour, but my expectations were met and exceeded!! This was the best day of our whole trip!! Erik was the most amazing tour guide!! He has a vast knowledge of Ensenada, the people, the history, the culture. He taught us so much! We had a lovely tour of the city and he took us to La Bufadora. He was our guide through the markets, he helped us negotiate and showed us the best places to buy our souvenirs and he was our translator. He took such great care of us! He took us down to the marine geyser, and gave us time to explore and enjoy and then took us to one of his local favorite restaurants to have authentic tacos, it was so good! We ended the tour not only saying Erik was the most fabulous guide ever!! But a genuinely beautiful person and a new and wonderful friend!! I highly recommend him and the tour 100% Thank you Erik!!

Unbelievable Day in Ensenada! - I am actually a travel advisor and travel is my specialty. I have been all over Europe and several Caribbean islands, and this tour and operator was by far the best experience I have ever had in another country! First of all, they were professional and reliable. They also were able to share soooo much information about the area, which I really enjoyed. They gave us tips on just about everything from the cleanest bathrooms to the best non-touristy food spots, which were so clean and amazing.---best tacos of my life! They asked us how we wanted to spend our time and they didn't disappoint! We saw La Bufadora, the street of markets, stopped by the beach, stopped for amazing food, and even had time to go to an eco-park where we were able to get up close with spider monkeys (which was SO fun!), and pet a jaguar. This entire day was filled with memories of wonderful experiences and that is what travel is all about. Ensenada blew me away, but only because I had the right tour guide to show us how wonderful it was!!! I will definitely be recommending this to my clients who travel here!!!

Wonderful Private Tour Experience with Ensenada Tours - Thank you, Ensenada Tours, for an unforgettable experience! My family of 20 booked a private tour to visit La Bufadora during our cruise stop in Ensenada, and everything exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, Carlos, the manager I communicated with, was incredibly helpful in organizing the trip. This was a special birthday celebration for my mom’s 80th, and I asked for a restaurant recommendation where we could enjoy a family lunch and celebrate. Carlos suggested El Merendero Del Lobo Restaurant, and it was perfect. A long table was reserved for us, and a birthday cake was ready and waiting when we arrived—such a thoughtful touch! Our tour guide, Bryan, and our driver, Eric, were absolutely amazing. They ensured we were safe, informed, and always together as a group, even in the busy areas around La Bufadora. Bryan shared so many helpful tips about shopping, food, and navigating the area—his recommendations made our visit even more enjoyable. The entire family loved the experience. Although Bryan offered us flexibility with the itinerary, we stuck to our original plan of visiting La Bufadora and enjoying lunch, followed by a fun group photo session before returning to the ship. They got us back in time with no stress at all. I highly recommend Ensenada Tours—especially Bryan and Eric—for anyone looking for a seamless, friendly, and memorable excursion. They truly know what they're doing, and their hospitality made our mom’s milestone birthday extra special. Oh! I forgot to mention that they had decorated our bus with party balloons and fringes. My family got a real kick out of that surprise. Thank you again!

La Bufadora private tour - This was one of the best tour companies we have used! My husband and I were a little weary at first as it was just us 2, but our guide Jesus made us comfortable right away! He was so knowledgeable, guided us through all the best shopping, stayed with us the whole time and did not rush us! Super easy to find off the port about 10 minute walk

Bryan & Ensenada the perfect combo! - This tour was absolutely phenomenal! Bryan, our guide, was outstanding—professional, communicative, and the best tour guide I've ever experienced. He ensured my family felt safe and included many special extras. Compared to cruise ship tours, Ensenada Travel Tours is far superior and competitively priced. I'll definitely contact Bryan for future trips. Book his service without any hesitation!
