We had a private tour with Mauri and it was amazing! He was a great tour guy and very personable. He took us to many popular and historic spots. We had tasty tacos, great tequila and margaritas. Please don’t hesitate to book this tour!

Mauri was an excellent guide, taking us to places we never would have found on our own. I will never forget the amazing black squid ink ceviche, the best shrimp tacos I’ve ever had, and just an overall wonderful snapshot of what Ensenada has to offer. The tequila tasting was also so much fun! Can’t recommend enough!

    Tacos and tequila

    Lorie_P, Apr 2026
    This experience was so much fun. We were five women doing a girls cruise. Mauri took excellent care of us, took us to amazing tacos, tequila tasting and beer tasting. I fully believe the guide is what makes your excursion and Mauri did not fail. Best day ever. We all highly recommend Mauri and this excursion. We even got in some shopping time and back to the ship on time. Thanks Mauri for the great day.

    Mauri is great! He speaks fluent English and Spanish, which makes it smooth traveling to different places. He is knowledgeable about Ensenada, and makes sure you have great food and drinks. I would not hesitate to book with him for any tour, as well as tell everyone I know that comes to Ensenada about him.

    Ensenada is wonderful!

    This tour is a fabulous way to see the city, as well as learn about its culture. Mauri is an excellent guide who took us to local (non-tourist) restaurants to taste delicious, authentic foods. The tequila tour and tasting was fun and informative, as was the beer tasting. Mauri took us to a scenic overlook of the city, which provided fantastic views. I highly recommend this tour and guide Mauri, who made the day so special!

    Ensenada- the non-touristy tour

    Ryan_H, Jan 2026
    I was hesitant to book anything in Ensenada but after reading a few of the reviews, we booked with this team and Mauri picked us up for a private tour of the locals favorite spots. My girlfriend and I were treated like royalty and we couldn't have had a better guide than with Mauri. It was pouring rain and it didn't matter. The tour and places we visited felt very authentic and not-so-touristy, which I love as I've done all the tourist stuff to death wherever I visit. Highly recommend and book it in advance as this team will have their hands full as word gets out.

    Fantastic excursion!

    Mauri was a fun, friendly and knowledgeable guide. He knows the city well and pointed out various landmarks, including a gorgeous look out point above the city. The food stops were amazing and the tequila factory was a lot of fun!

    Best way to experience Ensenada from a cruise

    Very Enjoyable Experience!

    Judy_G, Nov 2025
    The restaurants were very good places where the locals eat so you don't run into lots of tourists. Be clear about exactly where the tour guide will pick you up. We had some trouble trying to find the address. Mauri, the tour guide, made this experience very enjoyable. I wouldn't have wanted to see Ensenada any other way.

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Hey Judy, Mauri tells us he had a great time with you and your husband. He mentioned they had a lot in common and they got along very well! We're super happy you guys had a great time! Mauri did mention that there was an error on the pickup location. We have addressed it and cleared it up. We have different platforms we use and they didn't all get updated. That has been corrected! We appreciate the feedback, that allows us to grow and better ourselves. Can't wait to have you guy back! - Rob

    Mauri was so knowledgeable and fun! We had a great time eating and drinking our way through Ensenada.

    Excellent Ensenada Tour

    Mauri was very knowledgeable, super nice and we had the best time. He took us to some fantastic places. The food and the tequila was my favorite. We will definitely book with Viator again. We've always had the best excursions with Viator.

    Must do this tour!

    Lynn_L, Jun 2025
    Mauri is the best guide in Ensenada! If you want an authentic taste of Mexico then this is your ticket to a guided tour that has a wonderful storyteller to go with it! My husband and I booked this tour last minute ,and we were very impressed with Mauri ,and his knowledge of the history and culture. Mauri is an impressive guide and was very easy going. We were a little tipsy after the tequllia tasting and could not go for beer tour after ,and Mauri was super accomadating. This is the guide you want for your Ensenada tour!

    Great Expereince in Ensenada

    The tacos are excellent and the tequila tasting is educational and fun. Our host was very personable which made the experience great. He is local and has vetted all the stops we made.

    Great time in Ensenada!

    Monica_C, Mar 2025
    Rob is very friendly and flexible, willing to change it up a bit per our request. I loved how he was very knowledgeable about everything and even when not telling us about history, he’s a great conversationalist. Every place we went to was super delicious!! Perfect balance between giving space and being there to help and answer all questions. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone!

    Salute! Good times with good tequila

    Jill_J, Feb 2025
    This tour was so much fun! Our guide, Rob, was from the US, so no co.munication problems. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area, taking us to places that the locals frequent,, not the crowded, touristy stops made by most tours. Along with the scheduled places, he stopped at various interesting shops we spotted along the way. We loved the tequila factory. Overall, welll worth your time and money!
