Highlights
  • Tijuana Beach Promenade - Our journey begins at the northwest corner of Mexico, a notable area in Tijuana where the US-MEX border fence meets the Pacific Ocean.
  • Transpeninsular Highway (La Carretera Transpeninsular) - We’ll embark on a 2-hour drive along the scenic coastal highway, traveling 17 miles past the port of Ensenada to reach the “La Bufadora” blowhole.

La Bufadora is the second largest blowhole globally and the only one in North America.

  • Escenica Tijuana-Ensenada - You’ll get a glimpse of Xploration Studios Baja, home to the world’s largest stages and water tanks designed for filming.

This movie set is renowned for films like Titanic (1997), 007 Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), Pearl Harbor (2001), and TV series such as 911, Fear the Walking Dead, and Tremors.

  • Castillo del Diavlo - The Devil’s Castle is situated at kilometer 60 on the free highway Ensenada-Tijuana. The first thing you’ll notice is a massive head with horns, a tribute to gothic architecture inspired by Tony Wells, the creator of this intriguing place.
  • Mirador Salsipuedes - We’ll make a brief stop at a stunning viewpoint en route to Ensenada. Here, you can capture breathtaking photos of the Baja coastline and explore vendors offering Mexican candies and cold coconuts.
  • Ensenada - We’ll visit Mexico’s second busiest port.

Here, you’ll have time to explore souvenir shops, restaurants, bars, and popular clubs like Hussong’s Cantina, Mini Bar, Shots Factory, and Papas & Beer.

You can also enjoy a boat tour of the bay or savor fresh oysters and ceviche from street vendors.

  • Valle de Guadalupe - Baja Mexico boasts the most significant wine region in the country, and no regional tour is complete without visiting at least one winery. We’ll take a 35-minute drive from the port of Ensenada to the Guadalupe Wine Valley.

At the winery, you’ll have the opportunity to taste red, white, and rosé wines, with the option to pair them with locally produced cheese.

  • Puerto Nuevo - After sampling excellent Mexican wines, we’ll drive 40 minutes to Puerto Nuevo, a small fishing town between Ensenada and Rosarito, famous for its Puerto Nuevo-style lobster dish and exquisite flour tortillas.

Thousands of tourists and locals flock to this town to enjoy its restaurants, souvenir shops, and candy stores.

  • Puerto Fronterizo Puerta México Este - This is the drop-off location at the end of the tour.

Awesome private trip with Erick - We had an awesome time with Erick as our tour guide. He touched base with me prior and answered any questions I had. He picked us up on time at the prearranged location and tailored the trip for our family of 7 (including 1 infant and a 7 yr old). The taco stand he took us to was delicious and the best tacos we have ever had. The bufadora was very cool and a highlight for my teenage sons. By the time we finished our delicious Italian dinner (yup my boys love pizza), it was time to head back. Erick dropped us off right by the walking path to head back to the US. My boys wanted Erick to come with us as he felt like family. We had an awesome time and it was worth every penny. I highly suggest the private tour and Erick. We hope to see him again. Lots of love from Gayle, James and the kids

Great tour! - And amazing day! Erick was an awesome tour guide. He was punctual, fun, informative and patient. The sites he took us to gave a great overview of the area. In Ensenada he steered us to the famous ‘blowhole ‘ and left us plenty of time to view it. He walked us thru the port and got us on a harbour boat tour quickly and painlessly. I loved the walk thru the fresh fish market where he explained the different fish and we picked up some smoked salmon. The vineyard he chose was peaceful and the wine and food tasty. We stopped at a scenic spot overlooking the ocean. Loved it. But not before we stopped at an optical illusion. It appeared the road was going down hill. But when he put the car in neutral we rolled backwards….an all round fantastic day. Really. We just saw so much I can’t describe it all. Thanks so much Erick.

Day trip to Baja California, Mexico - My family and I took the day trip to Mexico to sightsee and do something for my nephew’s birthday. Marco reached out ahead of time to arrange our meeting place and time so that our pickup was very easy. He also made sure everyone was comfortable in the van for the trip. We visited a small towns with beautiful views, had lunch at one of the local restaurants, and shopped. We also enjoyed a nice winery at the end of the day. Marco also surprised all of us with a beautiful cake for my nephew to celebrate his birthday and the restaurant played music while they lit the candle/sparkler for him. It was such a kind gesture and wonderful surprise. Thank you Marco Amber, the sisters, and nephew Malcolm!

Day trip to Mexico - My family and I booked a tour to Mexico for the day to enjoy an outing and celebrate my nephew’s birthday. Marco was our tour guide for the day and made arrangements for our meeting place and time the day before so that we found each other with no problems. He made sure we were comfortable. He took us to see some different towns and took pictures for us as well. He worked hard to navigate the local traffic so that we had plenty of time to shop, sightsee, and eat. We finished the day at a beautiful winery and without any of us knowing, Marco had so kindly gotten a beautiful cake and had the winery add a candle and birthday music - we were all surprised by the kind and wonderful gesture. Although the weather was not great, the company and experience was greatly appreciated. Thank you Marco - Amber, the sisters, and nephew Malcolm!

Very good places - Overall it was good, my family enjoyed the tour. It was a pity that we were not able to visit all the stops according to the itinerary, it is important that the guide keeps track of the time. We loved the places we visited like Las Bufadora and the Salsitrabajos viewpoint!
