- 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!

Wonderful day trip. - Had an awesome experience. We wanted to go to Mexico, but were a little worried about the border crossing and getting around, plus not really knowing what to do while we were there for such a short time. Found this trip online and it was perfect for us. We were escorted through the border and introduced to our guide for the day, Carlos Saavedra. He took us to three excellent taco places, two very fun tequila tasting experiences, plenty of shopping opportunities, and some great history and cultural explanations along the way. Just a wonderful jaunt through the city, hitting places we never would have found and seeing things we never would have been able to find. We were then escorted safely back to the border and were texted plenty of pics of us Carlos took through the day. Overall, just an amazing day.

Excellent experience. - We wanted to go to Mexico, but were a little worried about safety and knowing where to go, Found this and took the plunge. It was amazing. Easy crossing in, our guide, Carlos, took excellent care of us and we felt safe and in good hands the whole time. Learned a ton about the city and the food (plus just excellent food and drink we never would have experienced.). Would highly recommend this trip if you want to experience a taste of Mexico but don’t know where to start.

Amazing for solo female travelers! - I wanted to go to Tijuana but I’m a solo female traveler; this trip was perfect for me to feel safe and visit Tijuana at the same time!! My guide was Tadeo, he was very nice, funny and explained everything in detail! It was funny to hear all the historical facts and his personal experience as well!

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.

Don’t use this booking company - Was told that we didn’t need our passport.. just drivers license and ID. Travel all the way to the boarder to be told that we need them. N now they say that since we didn’t have our passport that we can’t get a refund. Very unprofessional. I will never use this to book events again.

Never showed up! - They never showed up and this is not a place to leave people who do not know the area. They had plenty of chances to cancel before we took a 35.dollar Uber from hotel to meeting point. We called the night before and day of and then again once at meeting place. Super disappointed!
