About this experience

This experience stands out because it combines local expertise, comfort, and authentic Baja flavor in a way most tours don’t. I don’t just take you from place to place — I share the stories, history, and hidden details that bring Ensenada to life. You’ll explore iconic landmarks, learn about the culture from a local perspective, and enjoy a smooth, flexible itinerary designed for all ages and group sizes.

To make the experience even more special, I include a stop for fresh, authentic tacos at a trusted local spot. Travelers can choose their favorite: fish, shrimp, carne asada, or adobada — a delicious highlight of the tour and a true taste of Ensenada.

Whether it's your first time here or you're returning to discover more, my goal is to deliver a friendly, memorable, and genuinely enjoyable adventure from start to finish.
