        Wine, baked goods and lobsters. Perfect combination!
        Had the best time! Eric was amazing and very accommodating. No stress whatsoever. Will definitely go with him again. Went to few wineries and to a really cool bakery. To not worry about driving to places and just relax is priceless. Thank you so much Eric. You will hear from us again.

        Wonderful way to escape the hubbub of Tijuana and see some beautiful parts of Mexico and sample some amazing wines! Our guide, Arturo, was great and took photos of the trip which he sent me at the end of the trip. I highly recommend this tour and this guide!

        Best in the Valle
        We had a wonderful day in México's Valle de Guadalupe on this tour. The reason the tour was so amazing and so much fun was because of our guide Joe. He made the day extra special for all of us. He was very informative about the area and we enjoyed his sharing of personal experiences of the region and his insights and recommendations. He's very knowledgable about the area. Also I appreciated that he let us know what to expect at each winery. The wineries that he picked to visit were all very welcoming. This was such a great tour that I would highly recommend. I am also looking forward to doing future tours with this company and hoping to get a guide as cool as Joe.

        Good food, good drink. good people.
        An awesome experience with Erick, our tour guide. As soon as we walked across the border, he was within eyesight waving us down. We started the day with some delicious tacos. After breakfast he took us to 3 unique wineries, each with delicious food and drink. This is definitely the way to explore Valle de Guadalupe.

        My parents visiting from FL loved it!
        Had such a great experience traveling with Baja Rides and Tours. It was my parents first time and it made the experience very easy and pleasant. We walked across the border and Joe was there waiting for us. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to each winery and even walked us in. At some spots we asked him to sit with us as we very much enjoyed his company and helped us learn more about each location. We were able to edit our tour towards the end and add a much welcomed coffee shop stop. My parents had the best time and it made being back in Valle such a great time. If you are looking for friendly, safe travel for your day trip to the wineries you have landed in the right spot!

        The best experience in my whole life thank you very much for your assistance
        I have traveled all around the world . Solo and with the your company. For all my life . I have to say this is the BEST AND THE BEST. I usually don’t leave the review but this one I have to give a shout out to Baja rise and tour and of courses our tour guide Jose or Joe to accommodate us very well. We don’t speak Spanish but our tour guide speak English better than us 😊It was a last minute trip (less than 12 hour!!!) . We book on Saturday night for a Sunday morning tour. And they made it possible . I have done some research a little bit where I want to go and they have made it possible for the itinerary!!!! For us this is not a wine tour we called food and wine tour haha Here is our itinerary 1. Puerto Nuevo lobster town 2. Bloodlust wine bar 3. Casa Frida ( is a must!! Chocolate and wine tasting is the best)! 4. De Cantos Winery 5. Oja 6. Tacos El gordo All I can say is thank you very much for your professionalism and your knowledge of the area I will be back again and again with my friend and my family.

        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.

        Outstanding
        I organized this trip for my friends visiting Baja for the first time and it did not disappoint. I was asked for a few places that I wanted to visit and they handled putting together an itinerary and reservations. Our driver for the day was Chris. He messaged me early on to arrange pickup and arrived exactly when he said he would. He was an excellent host for the day making sure we got where we needed to go and that we had a great time. All-in-all I'm very happy with the experience and will definitely use Baja Rides and Tours again for future trips.

        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!

        Unforgettable Wine Tour in Valle de Guadalupe with an Incredible Guide!
        Our group had the pleasure of visiting several outstanding wineries, including Relieve Winery, Vinos Merlot, Vinas de Garza, Oja, and Casa Frida. Each stop offered a unique and delightful experience, showcasing the diversity and excellence of the wines in Valle de Guadalupe. Marco, our tour guide, was an absolute gem. From the moment we met him, his enthusiasm and knowledge about the region were contagious. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and passionate about ensuring we had the best possible experience. Marco's expertise in wine and the Valle de Guadalupe region truly elevated our tour to another level. Our first stop was at Relieve Winery, and Marco's introduction set the tone for the day. He provided us with fascinating insights into the winery's history, the winemaking process, and the unique characteristics of their wines. The tour was informative and engaging, allowing us to truly appreciate the craftsmanship behind every bottle. At Vinos Merlot, Marco continued to impress us with his in-depth knowledge. He guided us through the vineyards, sharing details about the terroir and the grape varietals they grow. The wine tasting was a delight, as Marco expertly described the flavors and profiles of each wine, enhancing our understanding and enjoyment. Vinas de Garza was another highlight of our tour. Marco effortlessly navigated us through the vineyard's breathtaking landscape, providing insights into their organic and sustainable practices. We were welcomed with open arms by the winery staff, and Marco's presence added an extra layer of warmth and connection to the experience. Oja and Casa Frida were equally remarkable. Marco's storytelling abilities brought these wineries to life, immersing us in their rich histories and the passion of the winemakers. The tastings at each stop were impeccable, with Marco providing guidance on how to appreciate the nuances and complexities of the wines. Throughout the tour, Marco's attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care for our group were truly exceptional. He made sure we were comfortable, answered all our questions, and ensured a seamless experience at every winery. Marco's infectious enthusiasm and love for the region added an extra sparkle to the day, making it even more enjoyable. I can't recommend Baja Ride Tours highly enough, and I owe a huge thank you to Marco for making our wine tour an extraordinary experience. If you're looking for a top-notch tour company in Valle de Guadalupe, don't hesitate to book with Baja Ride Tours. They'll take care of every detail and provide an unforgettable journey through the region's finest wineries. Cheers to Baja Ride Tours and kudos to Marco for an incredible adventure!

        Best trip ever
        I must say it was an unforgettable experience. From the picturesque landscape to the warm hospitality, everything exceeded my expectations. Our guide was exceptionally accommodating and made our experience even more enjoyable. Upon learning about our interest in horse riding, they kindly arranged for a change in the itinerary, replacing one of the winery visits with a horseback riding adventure. This gesture truly made our day.

        I cannot say enough about our trip! We had such a wonderful time! Christian organized such a fantastic day starting with breakfast at Dona Esthela with a birthday song and cake via notification by Christian. We had our three children with us so he organized wineries that were kid friendly plus had delicious wine. We stopped by local artisan bread and cheese shops. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!! Thank you for such a fun day!!

      It was a fabulous tour from start to finish! When we first told friends we were thinking of going to Tijuana, they told us to be careful, but I couldn’t have felt more safe throughout the entire day. Chris, our guide, was on time, picked us up in a clean air-conditioned van, and couldn’t have been more gracious and kind. He spoke perfect English and proceeded to give us an excellent tour! He took us to three different taco places, a cool beer brewery, a fine dining restaurant, a collectors museum, and other places. We got to take a picture with a zonkey (photo included), heard a mariachi band who played specifically for us, and there was never a dull moment! All the food and drinks were included! Believe me when I say that this tour was a wonderful introduction to Tijuana and it was time well spent and worth every penny that we paid! We were very happy with the tour and highly recommend this to anyone interested in a day trip over the border!

      We wanted to do a day tour of Tijuana but was hesitant about doing it on our own. I did a little research in the day tour group options and picked Baja Rides and Tours based on the great reviews and reasonable prices based on a private tour format.

      Our guide Marco took us to so many great places to eat and sight see and shop. He also was very accommodating of what we wanted to do and also flexible with the time. We had a great experience and are hoping to try the Guadalupe Wine Valley Tour next time.

      Just some tips: The blue line trolley to San Ysidro will take about 45 mins from San Diego, the border walk though took us 20 mins in the morning, and 1hr20 mins on the way back on a Thursday.

      Our guide Angel picked us up on time from the agreed meeting point just behind the border. From San Diego (Gaslamp Quarter, Old Town, Santa Fe Depot Station), the border can be reached comfortably and cheaply ($2.50) by trolley (Blue Line). Angel showed us all the facets of this exciting city - including its dark side. Our guide had enormous expertise - including about the history of Mexico. We felt well looked after and safe throughout the tour. Each tour is planned individually according to the wishes and requirements of the participants. Crossing the border was straightforward from both sides, and for the return journey we recommend downloading the US Border Authority app for current border waiting times. https://bwt.cbp.gov/
      The return journey took us less than 30 minutes. Be sure to try the Caesar Salad at Caesar's - a vegetarian option without anchovies is available. All the other dishes were fantastic too!

      If you are looking for a tour where it feels like a born and raised local friend is showing you around, this is it! Excellent tour with Cristian around Tijuana! They were able to accommodate my group of 8 on very short notice and delivered a customized route based on our group’s interest, on the fly! As somebody that loves interesting facts/history of places, Cristian’s true local knowledge of the area was surely impressive. Hard to tell he was born and raised in Tijuana because his English and communication was perfect. We felt safe and well taken care of the entire time. The tour never felt rushed and we had plenty of time for our leisure. I was already planning my next tour with him before it was over. If I was anywhere near the San Diego area, I will be jumping the border for Cristian to show me some cool place around Tijuana. Book it and you will not be disappointed!

      Very enjoyable and highly recommended. Eric was extremely accommodating and was able to customize our trip to our particular taste on the fly and with little hassle which made the experience even more personal, it felt as though we were being shown around the city by a friend who we came to visit. He took us around Tijuana downtown and the wall, and the city center, with interesting facts at the various spots.
      Even if something was not open or we could not access it, Eric, being a local himself, had enough cool and interesting places to see that their was able a backup plan. The most memorable part of the tour was the food - authentic Mexican food at hidden gems throughout the city.. Great job Eric!

      This experience exceeded our expectations. Our family would like to give a shoutout to Marco, he gave us an experience that was unforgettable. He is the best! We were comfortable in the air conditioned van and he gave us the history of Tijuana and took us to many interesting places. We were able ti immerse in the culture of Tijuana like we were locals. The food places were phenomenal, the bar hop tequila and beer tasting was great, the lucha libre/toy museum was fantastic and the market/shopping was great. He catered to our requests as to get agua fresca and go to a bakery in the comfort of being driven around which took out the stress of parking and not knowing where to go. We highly recommend this tour

      My guide was Humberto. I found myself in Tijuana and contacted the company to see if I could mee the guide at a spot in Tijuana since I was already there. No problem. Humberto went beyond by meeting me at the hotel. From there we went to the border crossing to wait for others. In fact it was a family from B.C. Canada, so it was great to have some fellow Canadians on this tour. What a scene that border crossing is! Humberto was an awesome guide! He knows so much and I learned so much about the city, where to eat, some great liquor tasting, etc. I highly recommend this tour. Tijuana gets a bad rap really. It has so much to offer! The next day, was "Hurricane Hillary" so we couldn't revisit some of the places that we wanted to go to to eat shop, etc. It just rained really hard and we just spent time at the hotel waiting for our ride to San Diego. I have a suggestion for the company. Perhaps on their webpage have some indication that if you are already in Tijuana that you are welcomed to contact the company to see how to join the tour as the tour states it starts from San Diego. I mentioned this tour to a few locals and they will recommend this to others.

      We wanted to visit Tijuana for a day as we were staying in San Diego. We chose this tour as it was a private tour and offered transport to many popular sites. We were very well looked after by our guide Chris who shared his knowledge of the history and sites and was very accommodating to our needs. We enjoyed lots of great food including tacos, Caesar salad and local sweets. We enjoyed a visit to a micro brewery aswell. We saw many iconic sites. Highly recommend if you want to see a lot in a short time. Clear instructions are provided in where to cross the border to the meeting point.

      This was a really fun trip to Tijuana with my family. It was our first time and we set our tour via Baja Rides and Tours. Chris Pichardo was our tour guide. He was on time and picked us up from the border on the Tijuana side. We had booked him for the entire day. We had walked across into TJ. Chris was on time and had a nice air conditioned van that easily fit 6 people. 3 kids and 3 adults. He speaks fluent English. Drove us around Tijuana and showed us the historic sites, drove us to the restaurants and local Mercados. Gave us a ton of information about the city, the culture and fun facts. I would highly recommend Chris Pichardo and Baja Rides and Tours!!!!

      We arrived early and our guide Arturo came and pick us upon knowing that. It was a great tour having someone who was born and grew up in Tijunna to share their city with you and all the stories that surrounded it. The city itself was lovely and historic, not to mentioned the tacos that we had . What an amazing experience.
