Editorial Summary

The creator reviews a top ten tour in Ensenada, Mexico, following a cruise ship excursion. The tour includes several stops such as the convention center, a visit to the La Bufadora blowhole, lunch at Lydia's Tacos, and a wine tasting at Santo Tomas Winery. While the creator praises the tour guide, Wick, for providing extensive historical and geographical information, the experience is mixed. The creator expresses significant frustration with the long bus rides, which lasted ninety minutes each way, and describes the walk to the blowhole as a gauntlet of tourism due to constant solicitation from vendors. Although the food at Lydia's Tacos is highly recommended, the creator found the blowhole itself somewhat anticlimactic. Ultimately, the creator concludes that while the tour offers good value for the price and provides educational insights, the heavy emphasis on transit and the intense commercial atmosphere near certain landmarks may not appeal to everyone.
