Walk, Eat, Drink, Learn - This was an incredible get to know a city by its food, beverages, and its neighborhoods. Humberto was a tremendous guide, assisting our party of five through a city that is one part NYC, one part LA, and one part a friendly small town. Be prepared to eat tacos, sip tequilas that may remind you of fine wine, try a fruity local beverage. You will walk it all off. The hardest part of the trip is crossing the border to and from Mexico. Expect long lines. But when crossing through USA to Mexico your guide will be there. Humberto greeted us warmly and made sure our full day tour was enjoyable. It was more like a trip with a friend who was proud to show off his city.

Awesome Tacos!🌮 - The food was amazing! We made three stops for a taco birria, blue corn tacos, and the Museo del Taco. Our guide Victor was so friendly and helpful. Everyone knew him because he does these tours often and he recommended the best spots. Most souvenir shops take US cash, but few take credit card. Be prepared to pay between $8-14 in cash for parking across the street from the starting point. The off the beaten path through bazaars and alleys was so interesting and I felt completely safe because our guide knew where to find places that were unique as well as family safe. As a woman traveling with my 13 year old son, I was grateful for Victor's guidance and minor translation assistance since my Spanish is not good.

Taste of Mexico - From start to finish this tour was wonderful - from meeting with Andres on the US side of the border to touring through Tijuana with Marisol. The tastes, sights and smells were uniquely Mexico. If you’re expecting to taste “American” Mexican food, think again! Make sure you’re wearing your walking shoes - you walk the city streets and alleyways between 4-5 miles. I highly recommend checking this tour out! It’s well worth the money.

We ate delicious tacos. Saw many sites in Tijuana. Well worth the money - Umberto was excellent. Very nice and patient. I am handicapped so I needed assistance. He helped me around town. There was so much food and fun. I enjoyed the tequila tasting too.

Better than expected! - What a great day. Our guide, Carlos, was incredible. Great knowledge of the city, and the best places to go to eat and drink. A great range of tacos to go through at the stops and absolutely delicious. Visited many stores to get a detailed background of the local foods. Saw numerous sights whilst walking through the streets. A must do if you are looking for Tacos, Tequila, Margaritas and Beer. Will recommend to everyone.

Great value and excellent guide - We took our tour on a Monday, and our guide was Carlos. We had a great time, and learned a ton about Tijuana and the upper Baja area in general. Carlos was very personable, and having lived in the city his whole life, was well known at the places we toured. Tacos, Tequila and Mezcal, more tacos, and a whole lot of fun. The tour took about 4 hours but it went by very quickly. Thanks Carlos for a great experience!

Poor directions to the meeting point, difficulty crossing borders - Our guide, Carlos was GREAT! But it Yus 45 min. to find our guide. The address you gave is a train station. The little map attached to the information you sent is not helpful. It would be better for you to put "ONCE YOU ARRIVE AT THE AREA, LOOK FOR THE MCDONALDS FRONT DOORS NEXT TO THE TRAIN TRACKS, OUR GUIDE WILL BE STANDING THERE LOOK FOR YOU."
