    This was an absolutely fantastic tour! I signed up for the Intro to Mexico experience and wasn’t quite sure what to expect but it exceeded every expectation. Carlos was our guide, and he was wonderful, warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. He guided us through Tijuana with ease, sharing both the city’s history and his own childhood memories, which made everything come alive. He even took photos for us at key spots and seemed to know everyone along the way, which added a personal and comforting touch. Carlos had a great sense of what each person on the tour might enjoy and tailored the experience so everyone had a great time. I would absolutely choose this company again!

    Amazing Taco tour with Carlos! Absolutely fantastic and i can’t recommend this enough. Carlos is so passionate about Tijuana and he brought me to the best places for tacos. Had a great variety of food and a cheeky pint to end the day. He’s super friendly, really nice and the best person to be a tijuana advocate. I felt incredibly safe throughout my entire trip. With regards to border crossing, i went on a monday and it was 10 minutes max across the border from Tijuana back to SD. will be back for their coffee and beer tours

    Umberto, our guide, was incredible! This was the highlight of our trip to San Diego! I can't believe how much we learned and what an amazing time we had! I also had no idea how easy it is to go in and out of Mexico! The whole experience was amazing! Now we want to go see Baja with our kids! Thank you Umberto and team for opening our eyes to a wonderful new world that we had no idea existed!
