Come and enjoy a day of discovery with me! My goal is for you to have an amazing experience and learn a thing or two about our beloved Mexico, so you can tell the folks back home they can come and visit, too! Mexico is a place of wonders, where surrealism is genetically coded into its culture. This country is a great place to collect memorable experiences, have fun, and learn about one of the world's most diverse places. SO CLOSE, YET SO DIFFERENT!!! I have worked extensively in the Country, both as a tour guide and as an advisor for many rural communities. Whether its the wine country, Ensenada City, or it's natural surroundings you'd like to visit, I'm here to get you there and make it count! I was part of the editorial specialists in the first Accreditation for Specialized Guides in Adventure and Ecotourism back in 1994, which would later become the official NOM-09-TUR-2002 of SECTUR (Mexican Secretary of Tourism). Became accredited by the Federal Ministry of Tourism as Professional Guide in Environmental, Nature and Adventure Tourism (1999). I edited two of the Alternative Tourism Fascicles for SECTUR. I have designed and facilitated courses in many rural communities for the Natural Protected Areas and the National Forest Mexican Commissions, among others.

WOW! We asked for some very specific things to see and do (none of them in the tourist areas) and we got a full day of exactly what we wanted. The best tacos in the universe, antique shops, a lot of architecture and more. We could not have been happier with the day.

Ez-peasy and everything we wanted. Lizette responded right away and within a short time we had arranged a private tour for the next day. She was able to "get" what we were looking for as it was pretty general. She met us at the pier and took us around the "tourists" hot spots. The best part of our tour was when she took us to the less popular but amazingly interesting parts of Ensenada. University campus uniquie to Ensenada and little known to the tourist crowd. Very rewarding. Lizette is flpuent in english and very knowleadgable and smart. Highly recommend her.

We booked with Lizette to show us around Ensenada in the hopes to see what life is like if we moved there and she exceeded our expectations! She knew every beautiful nook and cranny of the city and shared it all with us and we are so grateful! We will book with her again on our longer visit in Spring. 10/10

Lizzette was a wonderful tour guide. As per our requests, she customized our tour to fit our desires. She was very knowledgeable about the area and has great connections that gave us discounts at several places we went. If you want an opportunity to learn about the culture and history of the area, Lizzette is the guide for you. We loved our experience at Ensenada with Lizzette as our guide. Five stars for sure!
