Fernando was an excellent tour guide and we learned a lot about the history of Ensenada. The end of the tour was capped by delicious tacos at a local restaurant. We were not able to visit the Fish Market or stop at the Cathedral. The only real disappointment was payment for the meal. The tour description indicated that we would “enjoy a fresh, authentic taste of Ensenada—taco included in the price.” We were asked to pay for our meal.
Was very interesting, Alex was great and very informative , a behind the scenes experience with lots of history
We traveled via a cruise to Ensenada with a party of 17 (children and seniors included). Alex was very comunicative from booking the tour and throughout. His customer service was top-notch from making sure each person was comfortable to the commentary given throughout the tour. Alex was extremely knowledgeable about the city and country. He had exclusive meal service, provided drone pictures, and provided alcoholic and non-alchoholic beverages. Best part was never needing to make spevial requests because he had anticipated our groups needs. He will be our first stop for a tour any time we are back in Ensenada. Traveled March 2026
Great excursion with Alex. He is lively and very entertaining. Got to see all parts of Ensenada and had lunch like a local.
Miguel gave us a good tour and overview of Ensanada, and fed us some of the world's best tacos. We covered most of the city from top to bottom.
