Unforgettable Private Experience at La Bufadora! - We visited La Bufadora during a cruise stop and were lucky enough to have Eric as our private guide. From start to finish, the experience was personalized and unforgettable. Eric was incredibly informative and flexible—he let us choose what we wanted to do, making the entire day feel tailored just for us. What made it even more special was the privacy and freedom we had. We weren’t rushed or herded around like on typical group tours. We stopped for a delicious local lunch, got time to shop, and even rode horses along the beach—an unexpected and beautiful bonus! If you're visiting Ensenada and want a more authentic, relaxed, and personal experience, I highly recommend booking with Eric. Truly one of the highlights of our trip!

Fantastic Private Tour - Great excursion. Our driver was fabulous. He told us all about Ensenada's history and took us to a lookout where tou could see all of Ensenada at once. We really enjoyed our day.

Worth the time to see this gem! - It’s worth the beautiful drive and the Bufadoro was very cool. Took lots of pictures. Vendors aren’t too bad either.

Awesome trip! - This is a late review but just wanted to say we did have an amazing private tour back in May 2025. Bryan was our guide & like other reviews, he was very knowledgeable. Gave us a great tour. I have been to Ensenada so many times but this was a first where I learned so much about Ensenada itself. He helped us know which vendors were good & which to stay away from. He gave us private time to explore la bufadora after giving us a tour. He wasn't pushy or rushing us at all. He took us to Fenix tacos in the city after which had THE BEST fish tacos. We didn't want any touristy places. We wanted to eat where the locals eat. He offered to take us to other places but we were tired & full & just ready to get back to the ship. He had no problems with that either. Would recommend this tour as its wayyyy cheaper than the cruise ships tour which is on a tour bus & you don't get as much time to explore like we did.

Nice trip - The tour guide is very nice. Took us to try the local specialty foods. My son also rode one of the local ponies on the beach. It’s a pity we didn’t get to try the locally brewed liquor. But the local winery ruins are truly beautiful. The tour guide told us that the floor tiles and the ceiling beams were all imported from Europe.我们 The locals were also very friendly. The public security was much better than in Los Angeles. My family loved this trip. We would come here again.

Poor communication from the tour operator and they cancelled on us without reason. - I booked this trip about two months in advance of our cruise stop in Ensenada. Immediately after booking, I asked a question of the operator via the Trip Advisor app to get clarification on where to meet. They never responded. Then, after we had boarded our cruise and about 36 hours before the reservation, I received an email from Trip Advisor saying they cancelled the reservation. No explanation. Had to scramble to find a replacement excursion. I did get a refund but it was a disappointing experience overall.
