Wine Tour Reviews
“We had a fantastic time. Our driver was super helpful, patient, and accommodating. Jesse’s team at the spa did a great job—my husband and son said it was the best massage they’ve ever had...” The facials were wonderful for my daughter and me. Everyone agrees the excursion, as a whole, was the highlight of the trip! We’ll definitely be back!
“We chose Ensenada Excursions because we were arriving on a cruise ship and wanted a company used to cruise passengers. Oscar was a fantastic guide—professional, knowledgeable, funny...” He made sure we had a great time. One winery was closed last minute, and Ena quickly arranged an excellent alternative. The tastings were fantastic and very reasonably priced in Valle de Guadalupe. Oscar had us back near the ship right on schedule.
“My wife & I were on a weekend cruise. We booked a couple’s massage along with a wine tour with Ensenada Excursions. We were picked up at the port, then taken to the spa. After the massage we did a private tour...” It was just us and the guide. At two wineries we were the only guests and were given the tastings by the owners—VIP treatment (with winery mascots Lucky & Diego!). So much personal attention. On the way back, our guide let us stop for a little shopping downtown at no extra charge. We’d do it again for sure!
