Great Off-Roading Experience! - This was the most unique and memorable part of our San Diego trip! Angelo has very highend vehicles that are not only capable off-road rigs, but kept us comfortable and cool as well. His knowledge about the borderlands area really added a lot to our enjoyment of the trip. We would reccomend this trip to anyone either from or visiting the San Diego area, as there is no other experience in the region quite like this one. Seeing the Borderlands from on top of the mountain will give everyone (even a local) a totally new perspective on the US-Mexico border, San Diego, and Tijuana. The rugged beauty of an entire region is on full display when you can see 45+ miles in every direction. Angelo has scouted routes up and down the Mountain to fit every experience and comfort level. I have 4 wheeled many times, but it was the first time for my wife and kids, and I think they're hooked! We took the advanced trip, and it did not dissappoint in any way. Plenty of technical areas that took experience to properly navigate and provided a real thrill for the whole family. You are making a mistake if you don't book this experience as part of your trip!

Book this now - I don't even know where to begin. Angelo (guide/owner) was awesome. He was ready to go as soon as we arrived. We hopped into our land cruisers and we were off. Little ride ro the mountain but once there it was on. Awesome communication via radios and pointed out the best views and very informative about the area. We were visiting from NJ and wished we lived here to be able to do this and hang with Angelo more. My wife was hesitant to drive but she did it with the encouragement and precise instructions from Angelo and she loved it. Considering coming back some time to do their 2 day over night camping experience. It was just awesome. Do it. Don't wait. Book now. You won't regret it.

Amazing views of San Diego and Tijuana - This was an amazing off-road adventure we got to see so many neat things. The tour guide was so knowledgeable about the area and all the areas we were looking at out into the distance. I would highly recommend this adventure.

An experience like no other! - If you are looking for an adventurous excursion during your time in San Diego, look no further! We've done Jeep tours before, but never found one that you can drive the Jeep yourself...until now! We were able to Lyft out to the meeting point no problem from downtown San Diego. Angelo was out and ready to go when we arrived and we started promptly! We drove out to the Otay Mountain Wilderness Area and did the intermediate level - we have only a small amount of off-roading experience and this was perfect. Angelo guided us on the walkie talkie around each section and we made lots of pitstops to take pictures and see the views. We got great views of San Diego and Tijuana and a thrilling offroading experience. I can't recommend this experience enough - you won't find anything else like it!!!

Amazing Adventure Up and Down the Mountain - We had an amazing time and highly recommend the trip. My wife and I had one vehicle and our guide Angelo had his. It was the perfect balance of private, social, and fun. He would radio us when something cool was coming up or point out points of interest. We made stops at beautiful overlooks getting to see San Diego and Tijuana. We took the Intermediate and it was just right for us. The wife wasn't too scared and I got to drive through some awesome terrain.

Fun and Excitement off the Beaten Path - We wanted to do something fun and off the beaten path, and this experience was just that. What a terrific time we had. We road through the mountains with fun terrain and breathtaking views. Angelo, the tour guide and company owner, was wonderful in every aspect (professional, informative, patient, funny, etc). He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and having a good time all throughout the tour. We chose the intermediate tour, and having no off-roading experience, we did just fine. We had a tremendous amount of fun. The SD Zoo and Belmont Park are fine (we did those, as well), but this tour was the real highlight of our vacation. We highly recommend it.

Enjoy the mountains in a Land Cruiser - Great day going up and down the mountains by the Tijuana border. Angelo was a great host and guide, we drove slightly modified Land Cruiser 100 series. The vehicle was well-maintained and was a blast driving offroad. The cabin was cool and comfortable, and got a thumbs up from my wife too. Highly recommended!
