Couldn't Ask for a Better Tour or Guide! - This was such an amazing tour that really made our cruise vacation! Eugina was our driver and guide and she went above and beyond for us to make sure we learned about the area, tasted the best food and experienced Encenada!

Very enjoyable day! - Eugenia met us at the cultural center and told us all about the interesting history of the building. Then on the drive out to Ka Bufadora, she answered all our questions and shared her knowledge of Ensenada. The market “walk” to get to the geyser is a bit intense with venders but with her help she quickly pointed out the true Mexican artisan shops were. The geyser was beautiful, ate some shrimp skewers with a beer and headed back. A great tour. We were lucky to be the only 2 people on the tour.

Pretty good - Ensenada Tours
The guide was easy to understand, friendly, courteous and helpful.
The reason for the 4-star rating was that I made it clear that the people on the trip did not know each other, or even me who organized the trip, and that I needed the guide to hold a sign with my name (or even their company name) on it. He did not, even when I mentioned it to him. He said he wasn't able to make one. My husband took a piece of paper, wrote my name on it, and held it up for others to read. Not his job.
The geyser eruptions are advertised as 100 feet in the air every 20 seconds. That depends on the weather and the time of day. It needs to be windy to make wild waves, and high tide is needed too. When we were there it was a mild, no windy day at high tide. The eruptions were every 5 or 10 minutes and about 30 to 40 feet high. The tour and the guide were good. Was it worth the 45 minute bus ride? Sort of.

Worst customer services I had experienced! - Worst customer services I had experienced. I booked the excursion for the cruise I was on, however, the cruise captain notified us that the cruise couldn’t dock at the port for the safe concern, so my family and I were not able to get on the land. I called Viator customer service immediately to cancel the trip, the agent on the phone told me it will be processed in 5-10 days. When I’m back from the trip, nothing was done. I had to request again myself, the customer service agent had no help but trying to deny the responsibility as a platform agent. No solution was provided, no communication was bridged between me and the vendor. Any solution from the platform I would consider use the service again, this is my first time and last time being your customer!
