Great 2 hour excursion to see the city sights and points of interest. - We did the Model T tour with Ana during our stop to Ensenada while on a cruise. We had such a wonderful time getting to explore the city and seeing some of the historical points around town. Part of the tour included a mezcal tasting and a stop at the cities historical center, birth place of the margarita. Ana was a fabulous guide and we had a great time with her as our guide.

Book this! Exactly what we wanted for our first trip to Ensanada! - HIGHLY Recommend! This was an amazing excursion. Traveling with mom who uses a walker. Rafael the owner was so accommodating and helpful from the minute I booked online to finishing the tour. Ana our driver was engaging, super sweet, and fun! We learned so much about Ensenada and the history. We got to see popular sites and local favorites. Margaritas were amazing, but the people made it special. Thank you Rafael and Ana for the most memorable part of our trip!

Pleasant and relaxing - Rafael was awesome. He gave us a lot of good information and went above and beyond to meet our needs. His knowledge base of the history of the area was remarkable. We really enjoyed learning the things we did. History of the town, buildings and some of the different alcohols. This was the end of our trip and it really was a great finish.

Fun unique experience great guide ask for Anna - I booked this tour in a replica Model T through Viator. When we got off the ship neither my husband nor I could get service on the phone so we couldn't double check where to meet. Someone who worked for a company kindly showed us where we had go, which was about 1/2 mile away from the ship. We still couldn't get service there to show our tickets but Anna had us on her list so it was no problem. We enjoyed going to the beach and other sites and saw where the margarita was created. Anna spoke good English. She had interesting things to say. She was willing to customize the tour if there was anything we had in mind. We kept it as is. There is a top to the car so if it's raining you're OK. We took this in February and the weather was perfect. I would imagine in July it might be a little warm so think about taking a bottle of water with you.

Great time! - Rafael was very nice and accommodating with us and my mother’s foldable walker. His English was good and we never felt rushed. Nice excursion, I would recommend it to anyone that wants an overview of Ensenada with little walking.

Late & unorganized - They tried to change times on us super last minute then showed up more than 20mins late so we had to cancel. The cars also do not look like the pictures

Not much to see - We were on a cruise ship and had prearranged this tour. Pick up went smoothly except our first stop was at the gas station to get gas and put air in the tires. The only memorable stop was at the ocean just to see the beach. basically there’s nothing to see on a car tour in Ensenada. I would suggest spending your time differently.
