Have TWO BOXES, FULLY INCLUDED, and PAY AS YOU GO!!!
We booked a WINE TOUR OF THE GUADALUPE VALLEY in a Suburban, to be picked up and dropped off at our hotel. We initially contacted them because of their ONLINE FLYER, and specifically reached out to ANA. We got an EMAIL RESPONSE, from her: Hello Clarence, My name is Ana, and I'm in the reservations department at Ansell Tours. Thank you for getting in touch; we are delighted to have you on board and excited to take you on a journey through the beautiful Valle de Guadalupe. lhave attached a PDF file where you will find general information about the services we offer. We would be happy to prepare a personalized quote for a private tour for two guests, with pickup from Estero Beach Resort. We can organize an itinerary that includes at least three wineries and a meal, and we can also consider adding La Bufadora depending on the schedule for the day. To confirm our availability, including the availability of a Chevrolet Suburban, and prepare an accurate quote, could you please let me know the date you are planning to visit? Once I have the date, I'll be happy to review the options and send you a customized proposal. Best regards, Ana Ansell Tours COST, eventually: $585.00. On the 20th, we got an EMAIL with highlights of prices of VEHICLES, including the SUBURBAN. We picked the SUBURBAN. As you'll notice, the Wine and Food was NOT HIGHLIGHTED!!! I got this offer, and read it at FACE VALUE. I read it, though, as a 62 YEAR OLD w/ Memory Issues, ENOUGH SAID. I am trying one more time to be as clear as possible. OR, maybe just won't review Ansell Tours!!! Although we were under the impression it was to be an ALL INCLUSIVE TOUR because all of this conversation was in reference to the ONLINE FLYER, it didn't turn out that way. NOTE: We saw the same basic NON-INCLUSIVE tour on Trip Advisor for $265.00. Due to the $300.00 DIFFERENCE, we were pretty CERTAIN that our tour was in fact the ALL INCLUSIVE TOUR, as we initially discussed W/ Ana!!! NOW, for the tour itself: WE ADMIT TO DELETING A WINERY: We did so because of the 1) UNEXPECTED EXPENSE, and because of the 2) large amount of wine for me. As for the restaurant, that was due to a suggestion from the DRIVER!!! I had wanted to go LATITUDE 32, but when my partner learned it wasn't included, he was upset. DRIVER CLEMENTE suggested the change to my partner, in SPANISH. We had EARLIER communicated with ANA, about what was included at lunch, and she assured us we could order anything off the menu. APPARENTLY, not so!!! I should also point the reservation team is not always available, CONTRARY TO WHAT THEY SAY!!! I would sometimes write with questions, and they would go UNANSWERED. I asked 5 times about getting La Bufadora to be included, instead of a winery, AND NEVER GOT A RESPONSE. In addition, I asked why private tours were half as expensive on Trip Advisor, compared to our tour. NO RESPONSE. HOWEVER, we did get a big, beautiful black SUBURBAN, as promised!!! Although it arrived an hour early, we were forewarned. CLEMENTE, was our driver, DAPPER, ON TIME, and EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND FRIENDLY!!! First WINERY: Adobe Guadalupe Vineyards. It consisted of several small Spanish-like buildings. We each had a wine tasting. Approximately, $65.00, UNEXPECTED EXPENSE!!! Second WINERY: Finca LA CARRODILLA. It was nice, but it was raised up very high WITHOUT AN ELEVATOR. I was able to walk up the s equivalent of two floors. AT THIS WINERY, we decided to have 1 tasting and 1 bottle (TAKE HOME). We chose to take it home in a very nice wooden box. Approximately, $65.00, UNEXPECTED!!! LUNCH: La Cocina de Doña Esthela. It came with a Michelin Star, but that seemed questionable. We went there on the advice of the driver, CLEMENTE. It was decent food and fairly well priced. COST FOR 3, including driver initially $75.00. (As we waited for the car, the waiter came running out looking for us, mumbling something in Spanish. When my partner returned minutes later, he had about $25 in hand in PESOS!!!) He said, after that whole thing, they said that they had admitted to OVERCHARGING US!!! So: $50.00. Final WINERY: Rondo del Valle Winery. It was my favorite due to its SIZE, STYLE AND ARCHITECTURE. Solid CEMENTE. It was a hot day, but on the inside it had big, beautiful overstuffed and colorful couches. In addition, there were was a HUGE CIRCULAR FAN!!! We had wine tastings, and we got a bottle of a blush wine in a box, bubble wrapped!!! I almost got an ICE CREAM, they were DELICIOUSLY TEMPTING!!! Approximately, $75.00, UNEXPECTED EXPENSE!!! We were then taken back to the hotel. We arrived at 4:00 PM. Initially, we were given a return time of 6:45 PM. If I'm not mistaken, that would have been enough time to drive to La Bufadora, AND BACK!!! Enough with the nonsense, PATRICK!!! I was told by our DRIVER, this had happened to others before. Was I out of place to think that we could get LA BUFADORA, as a Last Stop??? ** I beg the OPERATOR: Have TWO BOXES, FULLY INCLUDED, and PAY AS YOU GO!!! **

Wine tasting.
Had 2 great days with Mario for a weekend of wine tasting.

I loved that the staff...
I loved that the staff were very communicative and they were able to accommodate plan changes mid way our trip. The only issue I had is that I needed an accessible van and they weren’t able to accommodate that. We ended up having to fold down her wheelchair and carry my daughter on my lap. Other than that, the trip itself was nice and I like that the staff takes care of all the reservations.

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Wine Tour by Ansell Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ensenada.
How much does Private Wine Tour by Ansell Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $275 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 Wine Tour by Ansell Tours take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Wine Tour by Ansell Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 178 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 Wine Tour by Ansell Tours?
+
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 Wine Tour by Ansell Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Wine Tour by Ansell Tours?
+
Around 62 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Wine Tour by Ansell Tours 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 Wine Tour by Ansell Tours?
+

Does Private Wine Tour by Ansell Tours include hotel pickup?

What languages is Private Wine Tour by Ansell Tours offered in?
+
