Tijuana with Carlos - Carlos was incredible! he made the whole day fantastic. We saw all his favorite spots and all the greatest highlights of Tijuana. He was extremely communicative and kept in touch til the minute we met up with him, all the way til we were back at our own hotel in CA. Highly recommend the fun adventure! Beware the wait to get back into the US! maybe avoid US holidays as there was a huge wait to get back in on Labor Day. Carlos found us a short cut and was able to get us on a bus to cross for a small fee, that was a much, much shorter wait! Thank you again Carlos!!

Visit to Tijuana - We had a great time visiting Tijuana with our tour guide Mr. Tadeo Calles, who was like a friend from long time ago, he makes us feel like we are in good hands, he is very knowledgeable about the history of the city. We enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, the shopping and every moment at Tijuana.
I recommend this tour to everyone who likes to see a taste of Mexico.

Excellent tour! - I would highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Tadeo, was very knowledgeable about the history of the city. The length of the tour was perfect for a walking tour. I was skeptical since Tijuana has had a bad rep in the past. I felt safe and our guide stayed with us from the time we crossed the border until he put us in the line to go back.

Extremely pleased - Carlos was fantastic! We saw all the parts of Tijuana, tasted many things, had a great lunch, and they were super efficient. I didn’t feel rushed at any point and there were even some extras on the trip like getting to tour the original Caesar salad restaurant. Overall a really great trip and lots of good memories!

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.

Good but could be better. - We had a great day exploring with Tadeo, really enjoyed it.
Our only issue was the length of time it took to cross the border back home; nearly 3 hours! The tour didn't start until 10.30 & the guide was also sadly late. My suggestion is start the tour earlier, around 9am. The time to recross is out of the company's control but if it finishes around 2-3pm instead of 4.30, you aren't getting home so late. Makes a very long tiring day & ruins the fun had.

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.
