I recommend Border Tours - The tour of Tihuana exceeded my expectations! It was wonderful to walk through the historic part and learn about its culture. The guide knew a lot about the place and answered all our questions. We tried a good dose of tequila and also had lunch with typical Mexican food, which made the experience even more immersive.

Great tour - border crossing ruined it - Tour was great. Tour guide was great. Time to stand in line to go back across to the United States - 2.5 hours standing the entire time. This ruined the great experience and was not expected.

A Cultural Delight!!! - What a Cultural Delight!! Carlos, the quintessential guide, made our day one to cherish. Tijuana was a blast, and Carlos made me feel safe and welcomed. A young man very much in his element. Go!!! You will be happy you went. What a FUN, colorful, bright, enriching experience. Hope to return to Tijuana again soon!

DISASTER DO NOT USE !!! Complete cowboy joke of an outfit avoid at all costs - Booked a tour for 27 th of April at 1 pm , Received a confirmation and a mail with instructions on where to meet (outside McDonalds) and what to bring to complete border control; Turned up 30 minute early and waited outside McDonalds for over one and a half hours , but no tour guide turned up ! Contacted the whats app number and the phone number provided plus sent numerous messages, all remained unanswered and the phone goes to an answer machine that has not been set up to receive messages !!! Eventually my son managed to contact them via instagram to be told they had not received our booking , this is quite frankly a lie as they had already confirmed everything by mail and debited my account. Only solution offered was a full refund (a full refund for a booking thy had apparently not received) ! We spent an hour getting to the border , changed dollars to pesetas waited for almost two hours and then had to spend an hour returning to SD . A complete wasted day , big disappointment for my son who wanted to visit Mexico during our trip to SD from the UK, just a total disaster from start to finish. If you cancel after 24 Hours with this joke of a so called tour company you lose your money , they on the other hand can take your money, allow you to travel to the border for the tour , not bother their backsides turning up and then only offer you your money back. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE BADLY LET DOWN AND DISSAPOINTED
