Ensenada tours

Ensenada is a world away from the gritty streets of Tijuana. A major cruise ship port, this Mexican city is just 125 kilometres from San Diego, making it the ideal getaway for travelers seeking sunshine and local wine. Yes, that's right - wine has been produced here for centuries. It's one of the many surprises you'll find when you take a private Ensenada tour of the region with a friendly local guide. Situated on the western shore of the Baja peninsula, Ensenada hugs the Bahia de Todos Santos. Meet your guide dockside and head to Trinidad peak for a birds-eye view, then dive into the Mercado de Mariscos to feast on freshly-caught tuna or grilled dorado. If you've heard Baja is nothing but desert, check out Guadalupe valley. Hit the Ruta del Vino with your guide at the wheel, stopping at wineries to sample the local vintage. If you've overindulged, find forgiveness at Our Lady of Guadalupe Cathedral - or continue the hedonism in the bars on Calle Primera.
