Azmaing trip to Tijuana. - Tadeo is great tour guide. He is knowledgeable, patient, and fun. He knows his town very well. He made me feel safe and comfortable during the trip. We had good tacos and Tequila tasting. I end up having private tour with Tadeo because the other people didn't show up. Andre is also very nice, he met me at the meeting point and helped me cross the border. I would definitely recommend this tour from this company Viator.

Get out of your comfort zone and see Tijuana - Tadeo was fantastic! Fun, and easy first time in Tijuana. Great to enjoy the amazing culture of Mexico even if we could only stay for the afternoon. We felt very safe and honestly, with a tour to ourselves we had everything we could have wanted! Highly recommend!

Awesome trip with personal tour guide - Our trip was phenomenal! Me and my wife just so happened to be the only ones on the tour that day at that time. That made it very personal. Our tour guide was MARSIOL and she was awesome! She knows A LOT about her city’s layout and its history. She had all the answers for us and she was very organized with her route and activities to do. We will be requesting her whenever we take our family on this tour! The only downside was the long wait coming back into the U.S. We recommend you taking the bus for $10-$20. The wait was 1 hour vs 2-3 hours walking and standing in line. If you can avoid it, go through the week so it won’t be so busy.

Very fun and memorable experience. I highly recommend this tour! - We had such a good time with various activities & sightseeings during the tour. It was very well organized and balanced with full of fun experiences in Tijuana. We met the 1st guide, Andres Castillo who guided us till we met the 2nd tour guide, Humberto in Mexico side. Andres was at the meeting point early enough to welcome us. He was responsive and kind. Our 2nd tour guide, Humberto Juarez was beyond amazing!!! He took our group to the unique & interesting areas in the city and guided for us to view memorable and great places. He explained and instructed very well. I will give Humberto 10+ stars if possible. Everything was just beyond the expectations and went very well. However, it took us 3 hours and 40 minutes waiting in line to go back to the US. People said that it was not normal and there were computer malfunctions on US customs which was the reason why there had to be a long line and wait. I don’t know if that was true or not but we were told that it would be about an hour to come back to the US. Anyways, it was fun and memorable experience even if we were extremely tired waiting in line to come back to the US. I highly recommend the tour if you haven’t experienced the walk-tour to Tijuana. I tell you what… I can actually forget the tiredness waiting in line to come back to the US because the tour was such a great experience. Thank you Andres and Thank you again tremendously to Humberto.

Highly recommended - We had a great experience and would highly recommend this tour. It was very well organized and the itinerary was excellent. Our tour guide Marisol was very knowledgeable and made the tour all the more interesting and enjoyable. It’s a unique experience when visiting the San Diego area, being able to walk across the border to another country!! Keep up the good work.

Great day trip to Tijuana, felt so safe! - At first, my sister and I originally wanted to go to Tijuana alone for the day as we were staying in San Diego and wanted to break it up a bit. We were advised by many SD locals to either not go at all, or alternatively go with a tour guide. Which is what we did and we are SO glad we did. Tania was such a lovely tour guide who knew everything, where to go, what to see, all the facts about Mexico. From museums, to walking around markets, to tequila tasting, to eating quesadillas - what a great experience in Mexico, so worth it. The 4.5 hours was all you needed. We also felt super safe and not only Tijuana is so much cheaper than California, it was also much cheaper than when I went Cancun back in 2022 and Ensenada last year. I would highly recommend it to encounter a beautiful culture (as clearly in America there isn’t one). Another thing to note is that you have 2 options to get back to the USA border, either wait 3-5 hours in the queue at border control or take a bus which costs $10 per person to get through. They said it could take about an hour in the bus, but surprisingly since it was a Saturday evening it only took us 10 mins, so I would certainly recommend this. Thank you Tania for a great day!

Nice tour - Carlos was an excellent guide - entertaining and informative. Going back into the US we paid $20 to get a bus through the 'fast lane'. But the bus sat there for at least an hour. I think it might have been quicker to just wait in the line. Overall though an excellent tour......particularly if you like tequila.

First time in Tijuana - Good experience. Nice guide! The meeting point was not where they said it was. You had to cross the border by yourself.
