Private Full-Day Guided Tour of Tijuana
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
What makes this tour different is how much of Tijuana you actually get to experience. While many tours focus only on walking a small section of downtown, this experience is designed to take you beyond what’s reachable on foot. We combine walking with driving, allowing access to key locations that most tours simply don’t include.
The itinerary was created by locals who understand the city’s flow and know how to move through it efficiently. This approach connects cultural landmarks, food stops, markets, and scenic locations that are often skipped by standard walking tours. Instead of following routes popularized by mass tourism or social media, the focus is on places with real local relevance—spots people in Tijuana actually visit.
The result is a more complete, relaxed, and authentic experience that shows a broader side of the city without feeling rushed or repetitive.

5.00We had a great day with Erik today. Had some amazing food. The Birria Tacos are not to be missed! The van was comfortable and we had plenty of room for the 4 of us. Erik showed us around several locations and explained a lot of history to us which was great. We had never been to Mexico before and this was a great introduction. We felt safe the whole time and had no issues. We walked over the border and back again, The entry was around 20-30 mins and the return only took 5 mins total.

5.00This tour was worth every single penny! From the very beginning, Rigo was funny, knowledgeable, and engaged. It felt like I was on a trip with a friend, not a tour guide. The food stops were absolutely phenomenal. He was flexible with the stops, allowing me to skip the ones I didn't want to go to, and added one I didn't want to miss. The conversation flowed easily and I learned so much about the history of the city. I traveled solo and never felt unsafe or awkward. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour and this tour company. It was an AMAZING experience, especially for someone who hasn't been to Mexico in 24 years! He even gave me the best insider tips for getting across the border (both ways) and the pitfalls to watch out for. It was a wonderful day!
Great Private Tour!

5.00Chris gave us a wonderful tour of Tijuana. He explained the background of all the sights and was flexible when we asked to change the itinerary to add more opportunities for handicraft shopping.

4.00This was an interesting introduction to the city of Tijuana, including the old downtown, the beach area and a drive through the more upscale Zona Rio. We had 4 food stops, a tequila tasting and visited 2 museums, making for a full, fun day. Our driver, Denise, was a sweet conversationalist and could cross 3 lanes of busy traffic like a pro.
Great day

5.00Eric was a great tour guide. Felt completely safe and comfortable the entire time! Got to try new interesting things and every person we interacted with was very friendly. Be prepared to stand in line tho if you're walking back across the border. It ended around shift change and we stood in line 3 hours to get back into US. Driving was probably the better option.

5.00We had a fantastic time on our Tijuana tour. The day started with a smooth pick up at the border crossing and our first taco stop. Our tour guide Chris was extremely knowledgeable and engaging! We enjoyed all of the pre planned stops on the tour but particularly enjoyed Chris’ flexibility. We were interested in going to a leather shop and Chris made sure stopped at three different stores. If we ever return to Tijuana we would absolutely book with this company again.
Wonderful Full-Day Tijuana Tour

5.00Great food— beautiful people and culture! The breakfast tacos at Birria Si, the original Caesar Salad at Caesar’s Restaurant, and the churros at the conclusion of the tour were highlights, as well as the chance to visit our notorious border wall at the beach. Ample shopping opportunities were provided on Revolution Street and El Popo. Thank you, Denisse, for the wonderful time we had!
Excellent Day

5.00We had an excellent time. Having a guide allowed us to see so much more than had we done it alone. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to see many things in a short period of time.
