Orlando was a great driver who took care to drive nicely even on less than perfect roads. He was very nice and courteous. We picked some nice wineries and this was the perfect way to do it. Highly recommend!
We had Ivan as our personal chauffeur. He was amazing. Tried to make it everywhere we wanted and recommended a few great places as well! Will definitely request him again next time!
This was the way to go since it’s your own private driver and will pick you up right outside the port and drive you wherever you would like. Ivan drove us to Valle de Guadalupe and gave us a tour of the wineries and took us to some of the best wineries! Ivan later took us to a local taco spot that he recommended! Ivan went above and beyond!!! Will definitely be booking again.

Hello Cristina, thank you for your feedback! We’re more than happy to know Ivan was of great aid during your visit. It’s of our greatest honor to be considered for future services to you again, thank you again for your preference. Best of wishes, Ruta Del Vino Tours.
Bryan was extremely knowledgeable about the area, timely and friendly. Very happy he was our driver. When our plans changed for dinner and we needed more time he was willing to accommodate. Chances are when we come back we will request his services.
The company itself is great. I appreciate how you can book your address for them to pick up and will work with you if things change. As someone who has never been to the Valle before this was super useful. We stayed at Maglen vineyards which is inside Maglen resorts. They were willing to come in and get us.
Such a great time! Ivan was super great and took us to some amazing winery’s! 10/10 recommend. The drive was very smooth and picked us up from the cruise terminal in Ensenada with no problem. Easy Communication through WhatsApp
Elias is hands down the kindest, most knowledgeable guide we’ve ever had! We cannot thank him enough for showing us the best wineries Valle has to offer. Def recommend him!
Nimrod is great! Highly recommend!!! Very informative and a comfortable ride! Be safe and get a driver!
Lena was a great driver with tons of wonderful tips on where we should go in the Valle. When one location wasn't what we wanted, she was incredibly accomodating on recommending other locations. We had a great trip!
Driver was great, always on time and waiting on us. Offered suggestions of additional places to visit within our alloted time.
Alex was a really attentive and present driver. He had the careful to be ready by the moment we finish our vineyard visits. Since we didn't have reservations, Alex made some calls to check the availability of a couple of them before we went there to avoid losing time. Last but not least, he was always respectful and provided some good tips to complete all itinerary. I would fully recommend his services
My wife and I used this service for the entirety of our trip in Valle de Guadalupe. Both drivers we had, Samuel and Anayeli, were extremely kind, professional, and so helpful. Having this service made our trip so memorable and stress-free! We highly recommend them and will definitely use them again when we go back!
Anayeli was a great driver- she was punctual, had great input and insight, flexible, knows the area, safe driver, fun and kind- Anayeli is an amazing asset to your company! Thank you!
Great service! Very prompt and friendly and clean vehicle would highly recommend! Driver was knowledgeable of the area and helped us with some recommendations
Josue picked us up on time and was very polite and easy going the whole day. We had an itinerary planned and he gave us small tips on each winery we wanted to try and was very knowledgeable. Josue was very attentive to when we wanted to leave each winery and was there to open the car door for us. He was a great driver, even ion the rainy dirt roads. I will definitely book this private driving company next time we come to Valle de Guadalupe.
Alex picked us up for our hotel on time and gave us some great recommendations since we didn’t have reservations. Would highly recommend hiring a driver.
Hiring a private driver was a great idea to explore Valle! I came with my own itinerary and just told my driver when our reservations were and he was always there on time and ready. They texted/WhatApp'ed me the driver's contact info the day before the tour.
We were looking forward to a private wine tour of the Guadalupe valley. We had done alot of research into which wineries to visit, and requested a specific driver. Our driver showed up, didn't speak any English, and had no knowledge of our plans, nor could we tell him as he didn't understand us. Tour operator was to make reservations, which was not done. For lunch we requested a winery that had a deli or sandwiches, but was taken to an expensive lunch that took forever. Other wineries were not open, or not available. We were on a cruise ship, and did manage to find out that there were English speaking guides with the company. He just drove us, and didn't know anything about any of the wineries.
Loved the service provided, would definitely recommend. My wife and I had so much fun and our driver was very attentive.
Josue did a wonderful job. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and provided a great experience on a Tuesday when many options were closed. Between his English and my Spanish we communicated well and both learned some new words.
Ruta Del Vino tours made our trip to Valle memorable. Thank you Antonio for your attention and prompt responses. Antonio was an excellent tour guide and driver. He was very familiar with the area which made it easier for us to select the best place to enjoy the wine and ambiance. We will be back and definitely use Ruta Del Vino Tours.
Josue was our driver. He was super knowledgable about the area and the wines. We had one reservation and after that we let Josue be the expert and guide us to the best spots based on what we where into. He was able to get us into several places without a reservation because he had connections with the wineries. We had a phenimenal day. Thank you Josue!
We had an excellent experience wine tasting in Valle De Guadalupe. Josue was a fantastic driver. He was very knowledgeable about the region and had great recommendations. He handled all the reservations and even helped us grab food on the way home. I will book another tour next time I’m in the area.
Our driver Jacinto, arrived on time in a newer 4-door sedan. Since we hadn’t pre-arranged any reservations for this day, Jacinto recommended all 3 wineries as well as a dinner spotl We appreciated Jacinto’s knowledge of the wineries as well as making our day special by arranging reservations on the fly!
1st Stop: Clos de Tres Cantos. The architecture here was a blend of pyramids, metal sculptures, desert scape and vineyard scenery with a great outdoor tasting area. Eliza, our hostess, explained our wine tasting selections (Simple tasting: $350 MEX; Premium tasting, all reds: $700 MEX). I enjoyed the relaxed vibe and personal attention given. My favorite wine was the 2016 Noesis. I have to mention we were given mineral water with ice cube and a slice of lemon. Absolutely delicious on a hot day!
2nd Stop: Tres Valles. A small winery with great metal sculptures and interesting wine names. Most of their wines are named with Kiliwa words (Kiliwa are the indigenous people in the area. Yuman language, originates in the most northern part of Mexico). “Maat” signifies soil; “Kuwal” signifies tinto or red; “Kojaa” signifies wine. Alejandro was our host and gave us an excellent summary of the wines. He was very attentive and spoke English. My favorite wines were the 2018 Maat (100% Grenanche) and the 2015 Kojaa (Petite Sirah).
3rd Stop: Lechuza. My favorite winery for its wines! All their wines are delicious! They have a 2019 “Vuelo” (Sauvignon Blanc/Chardonnay blend) very light and refreshing , 2020 “Stainless Chardonnay” ( 100% Chardonnay) I loved this wine! Out of all the white wines I tried in Valle de Guadalupe, this was the best!, 2020 Pluma (100% Nebbiolo), and2018 “Reserva Amantes (a blend of Cab, Nebbiolo and Merlot) both rich in bouquet and flavor. This is a must-go-to winery! Wine tasting (all 4 wines), $400 MEX.
4th Stop: Fauna Restaurant at Bruma Winery. Scenery and food at its best! An interesting food menu, mostly charred items. Definitely a go-to place for foodies! Who knew charred lettuce could be so good. Food was served with delicious blue corn tortillas. Yum. Can’t speak for the wines but our meal was great. This is a very pricey place, but worth the experience.
The Ruta del Vino Tours (via Viator booking) ended up being perfect for my girlfriend and I. We started with a plan for two specific wineries, and our private driver recommended then took us to an excellent third (and it sounded like he could take us to more, possibly some fully booked even, if we had had the time for more). Josue Leal himself is the best! He has a really nice, clean car, and speaks excellent English (which was great considering how poor my Spanish is at the moment). He was very nice and fun to speak to, and if we have all of his information saved because we'd definitely want to book with him again in the future! Thank you again Ruta del Vino Tours and Josue!
