Great taste of Tijuana - Excellent experience well worth the price. Our guide Carlos was brilliant and made our day enjoyable and informative. Lunch was delicious and the tequila tasting was great. The length of the tour was just right to give us a taste of Tijuana. We would definitely recommend!

Carlos was a great guide!! - Very informative and educational about the local culture. There was little walking and we all felt very comfortable immersing in Tijuana.

Tijuana in a day - We had a great time with Humberto. He took us to great local spots in Tijuana. We ate great food, had a tequila tasting, and got a great history lesson on the San Diego/Tijuana boarder. Things to know before you go: bring your passport and cash and wear walking shoes. You will cross the boarder via foot which is faster to get in and out. Getting to Mexico was no wait. Coming back was about an hour unless you have the physical global entry or sentry card.

Great for solo travelers - Tadeo was a great tour guide. They were upfront about the time it could take crossing the border back into the US. I had the best tacos ever, and it was my first time trying tripe. Tadeo was took us to some trustworthy vendors. It was an overall good time and safe, considering I went solo.

- The tour was fun, and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Overall, it was a great experience. I would recommend this tour to anyone that is visiting San Diego, but also wants to go and explore a bit of Mexico. Tijuana is a great place to “toe dip” a part of the Mexican culture.

A very caring tour guide - Unfortunately, I couldn’t recall the tour guide’s name that was not easy to memorize for me. If the company can add his name in my review, it will be fair for him to receive the credit he deserves. Two things he did for us were very impressive: he purchased extra food for some of tourists after we finished the planned lunch; he paid for us to use the bathroom on the street. He is a tall, young, and handsome man. He had so much energy that we “ran around” on the streets with him. It was a great experience!

Approved - Guides are super available and being local people help to travel safely around the city. After the visit of Tijuana, we recommend you support an organized trip like Viator.

Don’t take this tour - - Terrible customer service and misleading advertising. This is an ALL WALKING tour. There is no transportation as promised unless you want to take public transport. The company is very unprofessional. We arrived at the meeting point early and wandered searching for 45 minutes in the hot sun. No where to sit.none of my texts or calls were returned. Finally just minutes before our “departure time” we get a call and are then told we cross the border alone and meet up with our guide. Very sketchy and we were already exhausted when we find out there is no tour vehicle.

Rush rush and long wait time at Mexico border - Not worth it for $78 for 5 hours tour. Long lines in border crossing, especially coming back one and half hours on Mexico border. Fed us 1 taco and small can of coke. Had to walk 20 miles into city.
