Sehr empfehlenswerte Tagestour inkl. Speis & Trank - We had a fantastic trip to Tijuana with our tour guide Carlos S. Perfect trip if you visit Tijuana the first time! We walked through down town and could taste so many different foods and drinks, we had lunch at a restaurant which is impossible for tourists to find but so delicious! And we end up in a craft beer bar with a very nice view and tasty self brewed beer - perfect day! We highly recommend this tour :-)

A MUST-DO adventure! - We had the best tour guide! Sara was awesome. She was very knowledgeable and kind. She was thorough with her explanations of Tijuana and welcomed the opportunity for questions. We were able to see all the stops without feeling rushed. Kids were worn out by the end of tour! They enjoyed seeing México for the first time. Sara was a major part of the experience. She met us just over the border she walked us back to the USA entrance at the end of the tour.

Tijuana Experience - The daytrip to Tijuana was a really exciting and interesting experience. We started our trip with a rather uncomfortable feeling in our stomaches, as, unlike previouly planned, we had to cross the border ourselves. However, the crossing prolonged without any problems. The tour itself was really amazing. One felt embraced into the Mexican way of life. We felt like we saw the true face of Tijuana and its residents. Our guide Carlos helped with any questions that came up along the daytrip and told us quite a many interesting facts about the city, we would have expected a little more facts about the cities diverse history, but Carlos did his best to use up the limited time phrame. The taco and tequila testings were really embracing and we also got a chance to try Mexican coffee. Afterwards, we were dropped off at a souvenir shop, although the store felt more like a tourist trap (Prices in Dollar, sellers advertising on the streets, immediate negotiation upon interest,…). Following all these events we were dropped off at the border. General recommendation: Do Not Take The Buses Across The Border! These are typically scams and take even more time than just passing the border by foot.

The Full Tijuana Vibe! - Spent 3+ hours with Carlos our tour guide and I’ve never eaten such a variety of food and amazing Liquor! Had me a little tipsy by the end; made the experience better! Plus he showed us Tijuanas most cultural spots. And I took a picture with a Zonkey lol. Ask him what that is if you’re with him 10/10
