Great way to spend an afternoon exploring the City - The trip across to Tijuana was great fun. The guide met in on the US side and helped us across the border which didn't take long. From there we met out Local guide Marisol who was taking us around Tijuana. Marisol was a great guide, organising transport for us to the city centre, taking us to the main sights and explaining the history behind the city, the culture, along with taking us to some great spots in the city. Highlights being the local markets, tequila tasting, and some great tacos. And at the end of the day you're taken back to the border to get back across to the US. I'd definitely recommend this trip if you've wanted to go to Tijuana but didn't want to do it alone.

Great experience in knowing history and culture of Tijuana and baja California - Humberto is great and knowledgeable 5-star. Gave great suggestions and recommendations. Small group which is great! Crossing border to mexico is an easy breeze though prepare for a long line ( 1-1.5 hr) going back to US.

Fun and memorable birthday outing!! - The positive reviews are accurate! Andres and Carlos met us promptly and guided us during our fun day in Tijuana! Andres met us to assist in border crossing and Carlos was our main tour guide. He was so friendly and knowledgeable with extensive experience taking tourists around TJ. Thank you for a fun and memorable day Carlos and Border Tours!

Enjoyable to the point she lost control of group - Our tour guide was informative and took us to some nice places however she allowed a few of the other guests to dictate the time of the tour , wasting time to enjoy the tour and other experiences and because we finished way over scheduled time this also meant we overextended our parking by another hour and this meant we were an extra $12 USD out of pocket, despite this she was helpful and fun
