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.

Walking Day trip, San Diego to Tijuana Fam of 4 - Our guide was Teleo and he did a great job showing us around. We went on a Thursday afternoon and there was not much of a wait on either side of the border. Would highly recommend if it’s your first time.

Azmaing trip to Tijuana. - Tadeo is great tour guide. He is knowledgeable, patient, and fun. He knows his town very well. He made me feel safe and comfortable during the trip. We had good tacos and Tequila tasting. I end up having private tour with Tadeo because the other people didn't show up. Andre is also very nice, he met me at the meeting point and helped me cross the border. I would definitely recommend this tour from this company Viator.

Get out of your comfort zone and see Tijuana - Tadeo was fantastic! Fun, and easy first time in Tijuana. Great to enjoy the amazing culture of Mexico even if we could only stay for the afternoon. We felt very safe and honestly, with a tour to ourselves we had everything we could have wanted! Highly recommend!

Awesome trip with personal tour guide - Our trip was phenomenal! Me and my wife just so happened to be the only ones on the tour that day at that time. That made it very personal. Our tour guide was MARSIOL and she was awesome! She knows A LOT about her city’s layout and its history. She had all the answers for us and she was very organized with her route and activities to do. We will be requesting her whenever we take our family on this tour! The only downside was the long wait coming back into the U.S. We recommend you taking the bus for $10-$20. The wait was 1 hour vs 2-3 hours walking and standing in line. If you can avoid it, go through the week so it won’t be so busy.

Great little tour - The tour was good, went off the beaten path, learned alot of history and ate some good food. Only thing is the others I was with were in a rush to get to customs line so I didn't get to taste tequila. Tour guide Victor was great.
