Trip to La Bufadora Blowhole and City Tour on Model T Replica Car

We had 2 different tour guides. The one that took us to the blow hole spoke limited English and is zero Spanish. Large flea market at the 1st attraction. The second half was a city tour with a different guide. His English was much better and gave us a great experience. The local taco joint he took us to was sooooo good.

Rafael drove up in one of the model T cars so he was easy to find outside of the cruise terminal. He introduced us to Marianna who took us to La Bufadora and we _highly_ recommend taking her up on her offer to walk with you to the geyser because there are a million vendors along the path and she will tell you if you are getting scammed with the prices. Plus, she's just a delight to talk to! When we got back to the city she took us to get fish tacos from a street vendor the locals frequent (it was amazing) and then off to a cantina that none of the other cruisers seemed to know was there (despite the fact it was down the street from the crazy packed ones all the tourists were at). After saying goodbye to Marianna we hopped into a beautiful red model T with Chewy who was funny and knew all the history of Ensenada. We saw the beach and the Riviera building (where margaritas were invented). Honestly, best margarita I've evedr had and a beautiful and relaxing place to have a drink. We highly recommend this tour with Rafael's team if you are in Ensenada. Very relaxing and we chose the pace.

We had such a blast on this tour! Having 2 young kids on our cruise, a lot of the excursions were not age appropriate or sounded like a lot for an 18 month old and 4 year old who would need naps. I was nervous about purchasing something not through the cruise line due to being afraid of missing the boat, but Rafael texted with me and made sure I knew he would have us back in time! This turned out to be such amazing personalized experience. We rode with Mariana in her car to La Bufadora and was a very comfortable experience! The Bufadora itself was more of a market for tourists when we went as it was low tide, but we were happy to see more of the area. Afterwards Rafael took us in a Model T around town and gave us an opportunity to stop and add on for additional charge riding horses on the beach. We had a margarita where they were first made, and had a chance to see more of the town and ask questions of a local. It was perfectly paced for our family.m and felt like we were VIPs. We really loved our experience.

The excursion started late because the ship arrived late but they honored our reservation. Pancho picked us up outside the terminal gate with our name on a sign (easy to find him). He made ride to La Bufadora enjoyable and educational. He was great guide once we got there. Back in the city we transferred to Ana for the city tour in model T. Awesome ride. She, too, was very enjoyable and intelligent. We only spent an hour with her but it was a very nice trip. We will definitely take this excursion again and recommend it. Thank you, Rafael.

Excellent trip. Our driver provided us with information about the blowhole, assisted with our picture taking. The second half in the model Y car was unique. We went to the birthplace of the Margarita and learned its history, also learned we here and how Ensenada received its name. Rafael made sure we were taken care of and all our needs were met, and even modified for a stop at a chocolate store.
