Top Baja California Dining Experiences

Carlos was a great guide and very knowledgeable of Tijuana. He made our group feel very welcomed, answered all our questions, and made sure we all felt at home. Would highly recommend to anyone traveling alone or with a friend!

What an absolutely wonderful experience! My best friend and I decided to take an impromptu cruise and Ensenada was our destination. We love to do culinary experiences, and I found this online. Five stars all the way around! Betty and her husband were absolutely fantastic. Great conversations and a wonderful host. We had a lovely time cooking some delicious food. I hope to be back soon and stay in one of their awesome Eco friendly casitas!

Carlos is the real deal — a true Tijuana local who made our experience unforgettable. His knowledge of local history, culture and food went beyond the typical tourist experience. Every stop felt intentional and authentic. We traveled from Utah to San Deigo and then crossed over.I was celebrating my 40th birthday and Carlos surprised me with a sweet treat and a candle right there on the tour. That personal touch made the day even more special.What set Carlos apart was his genuine care for our safety and wellbeing. He made sure we understood how to navigate the border crossing and personally followed up afterward to confirm we made it back safely.If you want to experience Tijuana through the eyes of someone who truly loves his city, book with Carlos at Border Tours. We will absolutely be back.

Betty, her sister and her husband were amazing hosts! She was so excited from the very beginning, showing us lots of pictures and information on what we were going to cook and telling us all about herself and her passion for cooking. We really felt like we were family being welcomed into her home. This was even more special because her sister was visiting, and we were able to experience their sisterly love and shared love for cooking! They are both incredibly charming and funny, making for some very fun banter in the kitchen as we learned their preferences for finely minced pico de gallo, heard stories about how their mom, aunts and grandmothers used to cook and what it was like growing up in both Mexico and the United States. They also have a love for travel that was great to chat about, and Betty's husband, Charles, joined us for our lunch and shared his life experiences, advice for the younger generation and passion for the sustainable home and bnb that he built with the help of his family and friends. I've never had pico de gallo that I enjoyed so much! The home made tortillas are a labor of love and were quite the enjoyable challenge. The fresh cheeses, jamaica juice, chicken enchiladas, and Betty's delicious refried beans really topped off a memorable day. It was then followed by the best flan we have ever had! Also, Betty was very conscious of our safety and ensured we did not touch any hot objects, etc. Not to mention, Betty did all of this while navigating an injured leg, never really letting on that she was in pain, although I am sure she was. We are wishing Betty a peaceful recovery and look forward to meeting her again! Don't hesitate to book with her, she is truly an amazing lady, and we learned so much about Mexican cooking.

Awesome!! We will do it again!

We loved it; both the history and the explanation were spot-on, offering a fantastic experience of mezcal’s aromas and flavors. It was the first time I’ve truly understood what I was drinking. A good mezcal is meant to be sipped, not gulped down.

This was an awesome experience. I booked for my family of four and everyone had a great time. We were able to have fun in the ATVs while enjoying the views of the ranches and vineyards of Valle De Guadalupe. We were the only ones on the tour, making feel custom to us and intimate. Efren was great, he knew the valley like the back of his hand and was consistent checking on us. Our trip went a little long, due to us enjoying the food and wine at the winery we stopped at, but our guide was flexible and accommodating. Great value for the experience.

We had such a great time. Convenient pickup and dropoff few steps from the cruise ship terminal. We have visited 4 wineries and got back on time to the ship. The tour guide was amazing and we can not be thankful enough for the amazing time while in Ensenada. Next we will do the tour with friends from San Diego border to Ensenada.

Our driver Andrea was wonderful. Picked us up right at the border and told us fun facts as we drove to Valle. It was a wonderful day and will use her again when we go down! Highly recommend.

We had an excellent day of wine tasting in Valle de Guadalupe. We bookesd a private tour for 2. Our driver, Brayan was excellent and had alot of knowledge of the area wineries. He is very flexible with your schedule and has great recommendations for wine tasting and local restaurants. We were on a cruise that stopped in Ensenada and he was well aware of the time we had to be back to port. Overall, an excellent experience and highly recommended wine tasting private tour.

It y was an awesome experience, our sommelier was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining, we are definitely coming back with friends.

Our family had an amazing time from beginning to end! Astrid and Manuel were fantastic guides—warm, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience in Ensenada so enjoyable. We loved learning about the city’s rich culture, sampling a one-of-a-kind tequila and mezcal tasting, and trying the most delicious ceviche we’ve ever had. We’d definitely recommend this excursion to anyone looking for a memorable experience!

We had the best day with Andrea in Valle de Guadalupe! She was so friendly and made everything super smooth from start to finish. Her car was really comfortable, and she planned such a thoughtful itinerary with unique, boutique wineries that felt special and not touristy. We also loved the extra little stops like the cheese shop she included along the way. Highly recommend.

We had an awesome picnic! Camille and her team made my boyfriend’s birthday surprise an unforgettable experience! Food was great! The chef and the hostess were so nice and welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Decor blew me away! Thank you all for everything! Highly recommend!!

The beautiful Señora, who taught us about lavender was so interesting and made the experience so much fun. The picnic was amazing, and that lavender cream in the eclair I could die for. It was really a wonderful afternoon my sister-in-law and I had a amazing time and great memories

Absolutely amazing! Camille was fantastic! Both her and her husband are wonderful people, you won't forget this. Very helpful in the setup of the whole experience, making me feel very comfortable with the process. Lots of options and ways to make the experience unique and rememberable. She also setup our Airbnb for a surprise birthday experience. The check-in instructions were not simple but she had no problem getting it done for us. This was also on quite short notice but it was executed flawlessly. And don't miss out on the homemade guac, salsa and hummus from her husband! Overall I cannot recommend this enough for making your special someones trip a great one. Thank you thank you thank you!
