Un Poquito de Mexico - The crossing border experience was amazing, undoubtly one of the best! I always wanted to experience what it would be like and with this walking tour it was safe, easy and very convenient. I Was escorted by the guide which meats you in San Diego side and then itroduces you to the other guide in Tijuana after you cross the border. The guide walks you through the points and explains to you a little about each place, you get to go through a market to experience native mexican artisan culture as well as the music and the food, not only that in the market there's a place where you get all kind of tequilas testing! And Unique experience! 👍💯‼️

I enjoyed the experience.... - I enjoyed the experience. Meeting point was ideal to cross the border. Plenty of partying available if you are driving to the border. The communication from the tour guide was great. Highly recommend it.

Tijuana for the win!! - This just might be the best walking tour I’ve ever done on Viator. Diego was really nice getting me across the border. Then Tabitha took over and was so awesome! She is so, so personable and knows her way around. She made me feel totally comfortable and it seemed like I was with family the entire time together. I recommend this trip to any and everyone that is thinking about it. I’d do this again 100%!

Awesome day in Tijuana - The tour exceeded my expectations. Our small group received really great information and guidance to get through the border process from Andres and then on the other side we met our guide, Tadeo Calles. Tadeo was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Tijuana and had many good anecdotes and stories to share. He took us to all the best places to get photos; he was friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The food stop was amazing and we had a great Tequila tasting session and stop for Margaritas/mocktails. Highly recommend this tour!

An amazing afternoon! - Highly recommend for a flavour of Mexico! We were escorted through customs by the charming Diego, which was really fast and straightforward. We were then met by the amazing Tadeo, who showed us all around the sights and sounds of downtown Tijuana. He was patient and knowledgeable, answering all my questions, and sharing insights into the history and culture of Tijuana. We were lucky enough to have personal attention as there were just the two of us on the trip. We're hugely grateful to Tadeo and highly recommend all travellers to take this tour!

Great tour - highly recommended - We took border tour with Diego who initially helped us on the San Diego side of the border. We had another guide booked but he got into a bit of an accident. Luckily the other guide was okay, and Diego stepped in to take over. We had a great time and Diego was very knowledgeable of the area. He made sure we were all still together and made everyone feel safe as we walked through the more hectic areas of Downtown Tijuana. I highly recommend this guide for anyone who's a first-time Tijuana visitor!

Great afternoon in Tijuana - We highly recommend this tour; it is the perfect way to experience Tijuana. Our guide Carlos had great local knowledge, showing us the highlights of Tijuana as well as extra things such as home brewed Mexican coffee, tacos in his favourite taco shop, craft beer on a rooftop bar, and souvenir shopping. We felt safe at all times. Carlos ensured we were not accosted by street merchants and helped find souvenir shops suited to what we looking for. We are so glad we experienced Tijuana this way and didn’t try to do it by ourselves.

Good intro to TJ - The tour was ok. I felt we were rushed at many of the tourist spots. I didn't think you needed 2 tequila tasting stops. The tour guide was new and very friendly. She walked me to the brewery at the end which is very hard to find.
I would make sure you have small bills. Taxis don't have change.
I got lucky crossing back over the border at 9pm, 5 minutes. Expecting 2 hrs.

Bad - Number are wrong. Communication is terrible. Got turned around and sent back at border. Still trying to get refund. This whole operation is just bad customer service.
