Scammer, terrible and unprofessional for large groups.
Terrible and unprofessional. I contacted the operator via WhatsApp on June 29th to schedule a driver for July 31st (yes a month in advance) for a group of 11 people. We discussed the price and type of vehicle available and came to an agreement. I paid the deposit and even scheduled my own winery reservations, I sent a clear itinerary to the operator and confirmed everything was doable. About 2 weeks before, I contacted the operator again to confirm we were still good to go and he agreed. The week of the tour, I reached back out to the operator to confirm our driver, he said yes everything was confirmed. The morning of the tour, we were scheduled to get picked up at our Airbnb at 10:30 am, so I reach out to the operator to confirm our driver, he confirms so me and my group get ready and walk to the waiting area of our place to get picked up. We stood at the waiting area for about 10 minutes and at that point the driver had not showed up, so I reach out to the operator via WhatsApp and he requested that I send him my location, which took me back because I would have imagined that the driver would already have our location since it was provided at the time of booking. Another few minutes go by and the driver still doesn't show up so I begin to get worried that I got scammed but then I get message from the operator saying the driver was 6 minutes away and was delayed because of a checkpoint. I said ok and let it be, the driver shows up at 11:00 am with the WRONG vehicle. At that point I was angry because not only had I confirmed and ironed out all the details multiple times, I also made it clear that we were a group of 11 people. I was told by the driver that showed up that there was another guy down the road with a larger van and that he would be here in 4 minutes. This made me wonder why didn't they just send him in the first place? 4 minutes go by and the driver with the bigger van doesn't show up and me and my group become frustrated as we had reservations at 11:00 am and were now late. I text the operator to let him know that we were cancelling and to send me a refund. It has now been almost a week and the operator has not only completely ghosted me but also has not sent me my refund back. Unbelievable. Don't spend your money or time with this company
Response from the operator: thanks for your feedback we will do our best to improve our service. If we caused any inconvenience i can provide a free tour at no cost for your family and friends.

First Trip to Valle de Guadalupe Did Not Disappoint!
My husband was referred to Daniel at DC Wine Tours by El Cielo Resort. Our party consisted of 3 Spanish, and 3 english speakers. Daniel speaks english fluently, so communication was super easy for us all. We requested the large touring van, and same driver for the entire length of our 4 day stay. Freddie, who also speaks fluent english, has a great personality, and is a very conscientious, careful, and respectful driver! We enjoyed our experience and time with him, and will definitely call Daniel to book our next visit to the Valle.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing review and for trusting DC WINE TOURS during your stay in Valle de Guadalupe! We’re incredibly grateful to El Cielo Resort for recommending us, and it was truly our pleasure to be part of your trip. We’re so happy to hear that having bilingual communication made everything easy for your group and that Freddy helped make your four-day experience comfortable, safe, and enjoyable. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him—he’ll be thrilled to know he made such a positive impression. It was an honor to take care of your transportation throughout your visit, and we can’t wait to welcome you back to Valle de Guadalupe on your next trip. Thank you again for choosing DC WINE TOURS. Safe travels, and see you next time!

A great value and very complete knowledge of wineries and tasting options.
This is an extremely well run and realized wine tour. I had narrowed down the wineries we wanted to visit over the three days we were in the Valle, and Freddy our driver-guide made useful suggestions which we took advantage of as well. The wine area is beautiful, but there are now 180 or so wineries, so a guide is essential if you are a serious wine afficianado or even if you are not. We drove over 2700 miles on out trip to and from Baja without a guide, but we can tell you that it would be folly to try to find many of the smaller and better wineries without a driver, Most roads are dirt and rough and their are few signs, Stick with Daniel,s group and you won't be disappointed or lost.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your incredible review and for trusting DC WINE TOURS during your visit to Valle de Guadalupe! We’re honored that you chose us to explore the Valley and truly appreciate your thoughtful comments. With so many amazing wineries to discover, we’re glad Freddy’s recommendations helped make your itinerary even more enjoyable. He’ll be delighted to hear your kind words. Our mission is to make every experience stress-free, personalized, and memorable, allowing our guests to focus on enjoying the wines, the scenery, and the unique charm of Valle de Guadalupe. Thank you as well for recognizing the value of having a local guide—it’s something we take great pride in. We sincerely appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable wine adventure. Safe travels, and thank you again for choosing DC WINE TOURS!

Private day winery trip to complement our cruise
Booked transportation to valle de gualdelupe for 4 of us when we came to ensenada on a cruise. The company was easy to work with, answered all questions promptly, and arranged for us to go to 3 wineries. Our driver was Jose aka Pepe, who provided us excellent service. He was very knowledgeable about the area, giving us a lot of history we wouldn't otherwise have known. DC tours and our driver made sure we were back to the ship ontime and we had a worry free day excursion away from the larger crowds of the cruise tour.

Private 8 - Hour Valle de Guadalupe Wine Tour – 4–11 Guests: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ensenada.
How much does Private 8 - Hour Valle de Guadalupe Wine Tour – 4–11 Guests cost?
+
Prices start at $258 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ensenada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private 8 - Hour Valle de Guadalupe Wine Tour – 4–11 Guests take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ensenada is not rushed.
Is Private 8 - Hour Valle de Guadalupe Wine Tour – 4–11 Guests worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ensenada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private 8 - Hour Valle de Guadalupe Wine Tour – 4–11 Guests?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private 8 - Hour Valle de Guadalupe Wine Tour – 4–11 Guests suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private 8 - Hour Valle de Guadalupe Wine Tour – 4–11 Guests?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ensenada can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ensenada and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private 8 - Hour Valle de Guadalupe Wine Tour – 4–11 Guests start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ensenada within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ensenada?
+
On Outty we rank every Ensenada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guadalupe Valley Wine Route Tour in Baja California, Couple Tour, Private Wine Tour at Valle de Guadalupe (A wine tasting included).. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ensenada?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ensenada?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Private 8 - Hour Valle de Guadalupe Wine Tour – 4–11 Guests?
+

+

+
