Unforgettable and magical experience. - Tadeo was an amazing tour guide. He showed vast knowledge of Tijuana and provided a rich history of Tijuana and shared personal anecdotes of growing up there. This trip felt so warm, inviting and he gave the intimate feel as if you were hanging out with a friend you met up with for lunch. I enjoyed the timed breaks and the stop we made for lunch along with the tastings is an experience I will never forget. I also got to make friends with one other person on the tour and so I highly recommend this trip and also socialize as you never know who is on the tour with you. I definitely told all my friends about it to come along next time.

Great Time - Very solid experience for a first timer. Don’t go without a plan because there is nothing to do at the border.

A day in Tijuana with tacos and more - Victor Garcia is an excellent guide. Professional, friendly, with personality plus - he looked after us well. We enjoyed the Taco food tour immensely. And the big bus was hearing all about the history of Tijuana. We appreciated visiting the fresh food markets, souvenir shops and sampling Tequila and the local craft beer. Thank you to Andres for escorting us across the border to meet up with Victor. I am impressed with Border Tours - we managed to book the night before and there was really good communication. You need What's App, credit cards are accepted in all the places we visited - didn't expect to buy anything but I did, toilets at Mexican border cost US$1 per visit (and they are better than the US side). Awesome experience!

Perfect for seeing Tijuana - Our guide, Humberto, was friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. His guidance was so helpful as we navigated old Tijuana. The pace was perfect, and the places we visited were so interesting and the foods delicious. This tour was perfect!

Fabulous first visit - Carlos met us at the border and in our small group of four we had a wonderful day exploring Avenida Revolucion and the landmarks surrounding it. Tequila tasting and a taco lunch were included as well as water and a delicious local tasting of sweets and tamales.
Walking the streets with Carlos you felt like a relaxed local. No pressure from hawkers and access to the best places …and the cleanest bathrooms.
This was a fabulous way to see Mexico for the first time and crossing the border was simple. We highly recommend this tour.
