Best way to see Tijuana - with a local! - This tour was the best way to see Tijuana in an afternoon. Our tour guide was Tabitha and she was wonderful! She really made our tour memorable. It was so much fun! We had a delicious lunch, did a tequila tasting, saw the highlights, learned a lot, and did some shopping. I would highly recommend this tour and don't forget to ask for Tabitha.

🇯🇵 - It was my first time in Latin America and I was a little worried about security, so I went on tour. It was just a stone's throw from San Diego, but once I entered the country, it was a different world. The guide's brother was very friendly and it was very fun as if he was being guided by a local brother.
Meet up in San Diego, where you'll be taken to the border and then meet another guide waiting on the Tijuana side.
There is a little distance from the border to the main tourist destination, but I felt that the bar would have been high if I had gone there myself, so I was glad to join the tour. You can also buy many sake tastings and souvenirs.
After the tour ended, we stood in line for US immigration around 15:30. It was an early hour, so I waited about 30 minutes, and I was able to leave more easily than I had expected.

Try this if you're in Tijuana! - We had Humberto as our local guide. Very accommodating, knowledgeable and most of all on time. We enjoyed every bit of the tour as we get both sides of the package, we got to know the history of the place and at the same time we had darn GOOD FUN! so many highlights to the tour, the walk at the plaza Sta Cecilia, then getting to know how Tijuana came about, local markets, the sinfully deliciouw quesadilias and then 14 shots of tequila tasting and craft beer tasting. Humberto even made time to help us go back to the local market to buy souvenirs. Thank you and definitely recommended!

Great trip - Marisol was great! She was personable and very knowledgeable. She went out of her way to insure that we enjoyed ourselves and our needs and desires were met. At he border on our return she made sure we knew where to go and helped us reach the proper crossing area.

A nice day in Tijuana - We had a great experience of Tijuana thanks to the nice and attentive guide Tadeo who himself was based there. He took us for a walk through parts of the city and shared his knowledge and interesting details. Very attentive and talked to everyone in the tour.

Excellent Walking Tour with Carlos - This tour with Carlos was excellent. He was very thorough in giving instructions about how to cross the border and meet him on the Tijuana side staying in touch with us the whole way via WhatsApp. It was clear that he has pride in his hometown of Tijuana and wanted to share that with us. He took us to three amazing taco stands/restaurants and told us stories and taught us about the local history and culture as we walked through the streets of the city. Going to the central market and doing a candy tasting were also highlights. Carlos encouraged questions and gave thoughtful answers. I thoroughly enjoyed my day with Carlos walking through his hometown with him and learning about Tijuana. I highly recommend both this Walking Tour of Tijuana and Carlos as your guide.
