I really enjoyed this tour. Víctor was a great tour guide showing us some great sights giving a taster of Mexico and Tijuana. It was very interesting to see some of the history and how it has changed. Víctor was very knowledgable and we got to try some Mexican food in Mexico! I would definitely recommend this tour to others and I will definitely come back!
Gregorio and Tadeo were awesome!

The culture just on the other side of US to be so different and fantastic.
The guide was excellent.
The meeting point was changed to Mexico side and we didn’t get that info so we waited 30 minutes in front of McDonald’s before we got contacted. That’s the only negative thing. Change the meeting point on your homepage or keep to the original.
Great tour

We were on vacation in San Diego and wanted to see Tijuana but we were very nervous about going alone. This tour made you feel very safe we had no worries once we were with our group. Tadeo and his co tour guide were so nice and very knowledgeable. It was fun meeting and getting to know others in the group.

Victor and Georgia were engaging and knowledgeable.
It would have been preferable for us to have been initially advised to make the meeting place on the Mexican side of the border rather than at McDonald’s on the USA side.
It was easy for me to get across the border unaccompanied and would have avoided the delays associated with the last minute change in plans to relocate the meeting point from McDonald’s to a place across the border in Tijuana (in Mexico).
I have a great time! Our...

Awesome day trip to Tijuana. There were 6 of us plus our tour guide… Humberto.
Humberto walked us around the city centre of Tijuana and we felt safe 100% of the time. It’s a great city with many nice people. The food and alcohol we ate was fantastic. Thank you Humberto for the great experience. We will be back to visit Mexico again soon.
Enjoying the city of Tijuana with family!

Tadeo was our tour guide and he did an excellent job with the history and sharing information about the city with our group. Since the group was so large we also had a second guide, Alex and he made sure the rear of the group didn’t get lost. I felt safe and secure with these guys. The walk to get across the border is long but definitely worth it.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
