5.00Great way to explore Tijuana for the day. Don't freak out if they tell you to cross the border and meet on the other side. It's really easy and they'll be waiting after the metal turnstile. If you have Global Entry DONT FORGET YOUR CARD. They will not let you in without it and the lines back to the US were sooo long. If you don't have Global Entry just be prepared to wait if it's a busy day. You'll explore, have some samples, eat lunch, and have a little time on your own during your day. Tedeo took care of us all, from some being late and having luggage to deal with, to others having to leave the group earlier. He also took us directly to the customs line and then walked me to global entry entrance. So there is no confusion getting back. Great tour!
Fun day out!

5.00We initially booked a trip to Rosarito but it ended up being canceled. We found this trip last minute. This was both mine and my sister's first time in Tijuana. Umberto was a great guide. He taught us the city's history and took us to several places. The quesadillas we ate were delicious!

Tadeo is Tijuana’s best kept secret!

5.00Wonderful day spent with my guide Tadeo. It was a worry free day from start to finish. I was very apprehensive about booking this tour with all the instability going on in the US but everything worked out seamlessly. Tadeo is an expert in knowing his history of Tijuana and Mexico. He was passionate about sharing his culture with us. He was thoughtful, patient and genuine in answering all of my questions about the area and its neighbouring communities. I loved visiting the long standing sweet shop, cheese shop and tequila store where we got to sample their delicacies. The gin and tonic at the secret gem microbrewery was the perfect stop to watch the sunset. This was a fantastic experience overall. My only regret was not booking another tour with him! I felt safe 100% of the time we were walking thru the city. The meet up spot in San Ysidro to meet Andres was easy to find. I’m glad I got a text from him confirming where to meet him. Walking back over the border was a piece of cake, no issues encountered. Tadeo explained the whole process of crossing so my nerves were settled. Don’t hesitate, and book this tour with Tadeo to learn about the marvels of Tijuana !

5.00It was an amazing day trip. The weather couldn’t have been any better, our guide Marisol was very knowledgeable. From the food, the candy and tequila tasting; everything was just perfect.
Fun day tour!

5.00This was such a fun way to spend a Saturday in San Diego! The food was amazing, and was a perfect combination of walking tour and tasting experience.
Great tour but beware the LONG line to return to the USA

5.00Humberto was a fantastic guide. Friendly, well informed, and super helpful. He took us to “locals only” places that we never would’ve found ourselves. Lunch was delicious, the tequila tasting was fun and the microbrewery offered some of the best views of the city. The only bad part was the 2.5 hour wait in line to cross the border. It put a damper on the experience but the tour itself was terrific.
