A New Vision of Travel: Ensenada Excursions and Tours Reimagines Family Adventures
In a world where mass tourism often feels disconnected and impersonal, one travel company is redefining what it means to explore a new destination. Ensenada Excursions and Toursis offering more than just tours, it’s crafting bespoke adventures that focus on what truly matters: family, personalization, and local immersion.
The heart and soul behind this family-friendly travel service is Jesse Ryan Atkinson, a man whose personal journey from career burnout and cancer to a passion for transformative travel has shaped the unique experience offered by Ensenada Excursions and Tours. In 2011, after facing life’s toughest challenges, Jesse found his sanctuary in Ensenada, a vibrant coastal city where he would not only heal but also discover a new purpose: helping visitors experience Ensenada in a way few ever do.
“I moved here to recharge and find peace,” says Jesse. “The quiet beauty of the outdoors, combined with the warmth of the local community, became my refuge. As I got healthier, I realized that I could help others experience this same sense of serenity through personalized, unforgettable adventures.”
The Journey to Create an Authentic Travel Experience
After settling in Ensenada, Jesse began exploring the area more deeply. He quickly discovered that traditional tours often failed to deliver the authentic, intimate experiences he had come to love about the region. From crowded buses to rigid schedules, Jesse realized that tourists weren’t getting the full picture of Ensenada’s charm. This realization led to the birth of Ensenada Excursions and Tours, a company designed to give travelers the freedom to explore the city on their own terms, with the expertise and guidance of a local insider.
In 2019, while on a Carnival Cruise, Jesse experienced firsthand the frustrations of navigating crowded tourist spots. “Even in my own city, I could feel the congestion,” he remembers. “That’s when I knew there had to be a better way. I wanted to offer a more private, custom-tailored option for exploring Ensenada, something that would make people feel like they were locals discovering hidden gems, rather than just checking off touristy to-do lists.”
Jesse’s idea was simple but revolutionary: to offer flexible, family-friendly, private tours where travelers could decide what they wanted to do, and how they wanted to do it. From wine tasting in the picturesque Valle de Guadalupe to savoring local street food and enjoying a quiet beach day, Ensenada Excursions and Toursprovides a level of personalization that traditional tours simply can’t match.

What sets Ensenada Excursions and Toursapart from the typical sightseeing experience is the level of customization and care given to every detail. This company doesn’t just provide tours, they provide tailor-made adventures that are carefully designed to suit the needs of every family member, from young children to grandparents.
Jesse’s philosophy is grounded in the belief that family vacations should be fun, relaxing, and most importantly, stress-free. “We’re not just giving people a tour; we’re giving them the opportunity to experience the city in the most meaningful way possible,” says Jesse. Whether you’re traveling with toddlers, teenagers, or older adults, Ensenada Excursions and Toursensures every guest’s experience is unique to them.
Safety is a top priority, especially in today’s post-pandemic world, where many travelers are more cautious about health and well-being. Jesse’s team provides family-friendly options with top-tier transportation, ensuring that every family feels taken care of from start to finish. “Our goal is to eliminate the stress and leave the fun,” he explains. “We handle the logistics, so families can just enjoy their time together, making memories.”

“Our local guides aren’t just tour leaders, they’re passionate Ensenada residents who know the best places to visit, eat, and explore,” says Jesse. “We don’t just show tourists the usual attractions; we give them the opportunity to discover the real heart of the city.”
For those interested in authentic food experiences, the team recommends local microbrews, hidden taco gems, and the best spots for fresh seafood. And if you’re a wine lover, there’s no better way to explore Valle de Guadalupe, the region’s renowned wine country, than with a local guide who knows the area’s finest vineyards and wineries. “We’re all about giving people an authentic taste of Ensenada, from the food to the people,” Jesse adds.
