From the few minutes that we interacted with Emilio, he seemed to be a really cool dude. He got all the boring paperwork, rules and regulations out of the way so that we can start having fun. His crew that was there that day was great, but, Carlos our guide was the man. We booked the ATV and Zip Line combo, at first it would have been perfect timing, but, our cruise ship decided to leave 2 hours earlier than what it was when we booked the tour. Carlos, on the fly, improvised the itinerary to accommodate our time constraint. The routes that he took us on was great, we felt safe, but, at the same time gave us an adrenaline rush, first the city streets, then the mountains, then a little free style riding in the mountain. Once we were done with the ATV, he drove us to the Zip Lining spot Las Canadas, the drive was about 45mins to an hour, but, even that was not so bad, we chopped it up like we were all friends just hanging out. Zip Lining was awesome as well, the place had their own crew that guided us on the zip lines and bridges, they were cool too. On the way back, we had just enough time to hit one taqueria spot, great food, fresh hand made tortillas. Over all, my friends and I had a wonderful time in the little part of Ensenada that we explored. I would definitely come back just to experience the other tours that ATV Ensenada have to offer, or even just to hang with some pretty cool people of ATV Ensenada.

I connected with Alex through Facebook Messenger and inquired about availability for this tour on the day of our cruise. After a few back & forth (and asking for a different way to communicate as I would not have internet off ship which I never received) I made a reservation directly with Alex for me, my husband and another couple I thought we were getting a narrated tour of the city. On the day of the tour I heard Alex say something about La Bufadora (which I did not request) so I reminded him we wanted to see the city. He said he would tell the driver to take us after the blow hole. We were put in a mini-van taxi that had no air conditioning. We had to open the windows and the fumes from other vehicles were horrible. The taxi rattled with every bump and on the way back hit something that made a loud noise. I thought we had a blowout but thankfully not. There were 2 maintenance lights lit up on the dashboard. We received very little narration and after seeing the blow hole the other couple decided that they did not want to go into the city because the fumes were getting to them. I'm sure we would not have received the narration that was described on Viator. Lesson learned - book through Viator so there is some recourse if something goes wrong.

We received a recommendation for Alex for a winery tour from the front desk attendant at the San…read moreNicolas Hotel and Casino. After talking to Alex we agreed upon a price of $110 for both of us for visiting 4 vineyards in the Guadalupe Valley. He told us he would pick us up in his cab the following morning at 10 am and we would be back around 3 pm. Alex arrived a bit early and easily agreed to stop at a breakfast burrito food cart he knew about. These burritos were fresh and hot. Alex knows a lot of the locals and has a lot of jokes and stories to tell. We really enjoyed his tour. He told us he also offered deep sea and local fishing, and ATV excursions. He drove us to Don Victor Manuel Vinos Artesanales in the Guadalupe Valley first. Here we sampled lots of varieties of liqueurs, grappa and some wines. This place was packed with two tour buses. While the tourists were being served, Alex told us about Don Victor and even helped the staff pour out samples. We ended up buying a couple of bottles of liqueur and one bottle of almond grappa here. Don Victor even let us fly the drone over the vineyard. Next, we headed to La Sol y Barro. This small, local vineyard is owned by Aime Desponds, a relocated, retired man from Switzerland. This was our favorite winery, and we bought a bottle of his 2017 Graciano red wine. His paintings decorate the inside of his tasting room, and he told us he built all the buildings on his property using Cob, which resembles adobe. Third, we headed to La Casa De Dona Lupe. This was a large winery, with a restaurant, outdoor and indoor seating, and lots of bottled goodies for sale. We bought a gift basket here, a 2013 Nebbiolo red wine and a 2015 Tempranillo. Dona Lupe is in her nineties and in good health and lives on the property. However, we didn't get to see her on the day we visited. On the way to our fourth winery, we passed some olive fields. We asked to stop and buy some olives. Alex took us to s stand along the road and we bought a huge plastic jar of olives, a bottle of olive oil and some hard-boiled quail eggs in a glass jar. Our last winery was by far the fanciest. Alex told us he would wait for us inside the cab. It was called Decantos Vinicolas and had a full-service kitchen and multiple varieties of wine. They had indoor seating and many outdoor picnic tables. This winery let us fly the drone (see photos). By far, this winery had the most people and many of them were eating as well. They charged for their wine tasting and we ended up buying a bottle of the 2020 Cabernet Franc. We felt bad because we ended up arriving back at our hotel at around 4 pm. Alex didn't complain and I ended up tipping him for this extra hour. If you want a great tour guide that gives you his absolute most, then I would recommend booking Alex. Since he can be hard to get ahold of, please call him at 646-107-2073. He'll treat you right.

They even suggested and helped us get a fast pass for border crossing that saved us 3 hours in crossing the border. Great team and service.

My friends and I weren't too sure of how the process would be since they picked us up after we walked across the border. We booked our rides through WhatsApp and the communication was super easy. They were super responsive, and the day before our designated rides, they shared the driver's number for us to connect directly. Our driver down to Valle was named Elias and made the whole process so simple! He picked us right outside of where we came out after crossing the border. He was super friendly and wanted to make sure we were comfortable for the drive. He told us a little bit about Valle and how he's lived there for 25 years. On my way back, I had a different driver, who was Natalie. She was super nice and the ride back was so quick, probably because it was the morning and traffic wasn't too bad in Tijuana yet. She was helpful in directing me to find the line to cross the border. Without the direction from her, I would have definitely been confused. They made this whole process so seamless! They were on time and available for all the questions I had leading up to the rides as well. I will for sure use them in the future any time I'm traveling somewhere driving distance in Mexico!

First, before the tour even started, I had mentioned to her I was having some headaches for lack of caffeine, when she showed up with the fan she had a cooler in the back for Mexico coke! To start the day, we went to La Bufadora, the blow hole. Along the way, she talked about some of the history of Ensenada Mexico in general. Traffic was heavy, and she took some back roads which gave us a glimpse of how hard life can be for many in Ensenada, as well as farming and local life. We got lucky and the blow hole gave us a good show. After the blow hole, we made a quick stop at the beach. We stopped at this little dirt parking lot and there was a little trail going through the field, we felt lost at first, but then we came up over the hill and it was a beautiful beach . Something off the beaten path most people would not typically see on a tour of Ensenada. Also, it was a unique experience and that there were tens of thousands of jellyfish that had washed up on the beach that week. Even the locals were amazing confused at what caused it. Next, we headed to a zip line tour and spent the next couple of hours doing five zip lines and five rope bridges. At the end we stopped at a little shop and got some delicious ice cream bars. Finally, to wrap up our tour, she took us to a tiny little taco shop in the middle of Ensenada that had amazing street tacos. We were on a cruise, and didn't want to pay the prices that cruise excursions cost, so we were happy to find a Lizette and really happy with how the day went. I highly recommend others schedule time with Lizette as as well.

Tim, Ciara, and Ruth worked diligently to answer every one of our questions promptly and thoroughly. We had nearly a two-year engagement, and even though we booked the venue far in advance, the team consistently made us feel like a top priority every step of the way. The venue itself is breathtaking and spacious, allowing you to host not just a wedding day, but an entire wedding weekend your guests will remember. The team goes above and beyond to listen to your vision and thoughtfully incorporate every detail, making the experience even more beautiful and personalized. We would recommend this venue--and this incredible team--to anyone. We stayed from Friday to Monday (with a Saturday wedding). While a majority of our family, and bridal party stayed on site, we had plenty of others that stayed at htoels near by. Early on in the process, the Villa del Paraiso team recommended Vista Hermosa which worked perfectly as they provided shuttles to and from our venue throughout the weekend. Additionally, the food is amazing! Villa del Paraiso's chef, Jorge, and his wife, Ame, are truly exceptional. I've been to many weddings, and it's often difficult for food prepared for large groups to come out warm and flavorful--but they absolutely delivered. We had countless guests tell us it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Everything was served warm and prepared perfectly. My husband, Jake, and I are so sad our wedding weekend is over. We wish we could relive it and work with this amazing team all over again!
