Fun Day in a Vibrant City - This was a great way to spend a day exploring Tijuana. Marisol was a wonderful tour guide! She navigated the busy streets and explained things so well. We loved the tequila tasting! So much fun- I highly recommend this tour.

Must do tour! - Carlos was our tour guide. We met him on the Mexico side of the border. Crossing the border was super easy. We walked from McDonald’s meeting point in San Diego to Mexico in like 5 minutes. Felt safe the whole time. Definitely a must do tour if you like exploring different cultures. Will definitely do this again!

A short peak into Mexico - The tour was amazing! Our tour guide was informative and communicative.
I’d definitely recommend this to my friends! The queue for coming back to the US was super long tho…

Great tour to Tijuana - Had a wonderful tour with Carlos. Enjoyed all of our stops and felt safe while touring Tijuana with two 15 year olds. Crossing back over the border was quick for us. We only waited about 20 minutes. Had good communication with the tour operator about where to park and where to meet.

Memorable experience. - First time visit to Mexico and joint the tour. Our first tour guide Carlos met us up at the boarder SD and we were guided by him and Andres after we crossed the boarder. Andres guided us for the whole tour in Tijuana and explained everything clear. He showed us many places with few testing such as candies, alcohol and food. Lunch was provided and he brought us in nice place for food. It was great experience and highly recommend them if anyone would like to have experience in Tijuana.

Great way to explore Tijuana - My boyfriend and I wanted to visit Mexico and after looking at various options we decided to book this tour. What a great decision! We had an amazing tour guide, Victor, who was kind, knowledgeable, and friendly. He took us to the major tourist areas and some lesser known spots as well. The places he chose to tell us were all interesting and significant. We enjoyed all of his choices. He gave us a great sense of the city and its history. We learned a lot and went to some cool places including the Lucha Libre museum. We felt safe and attended to the whole time. It was a great introduction to Mexico and left us with a great appreciation for the city of Tijuana.

Interesting but not for me - Honestly not the trip for me. The border crossings were highly troublesome with the return being nearly 2 hours. Interesting sites to see and wonderful colours. Tour guide was great but the poverty and the enormous heavily armed police presence was somewhat intimidating and made you wonder what the purpose was.
