The rich history of the paintings ( murals ) and explaining the meaning of the paintings and the artists was captivating. I was not bored at all. Tadeau ( tour guide) is like a history book except that I don’t have to do the reading. His knowledge about Tijuana, the places visited , the artists, and what the paintings explains is easy to follow and understand. It was a Mother’s Day well spent since I was alone in San Diego and my children couldn’t come, this day trip was their pick.

You must go to Tijuana, you can walk around and spend the day there and have lots of fun, I have done it on my own without booking a company to take me, and I had a blast. Make sure to plan ahead, exchange some money because paying in the local currency is cheaper, download offline maps, you will most probably not have coverage therefore you will not have internet, I would recommend that you explore all the way to the arch, from the arch you can take any turn and each turn you take will reveal a new aspect of the city.

We booked a custom 3 day tour for our honeymoon in April and it was more than we could have asked for! Erick took great care of us at every point, from picking us up from our resort, to making sure we were well looked after at every delicious place he took us too— a foodie’s dream honeymoon! Not having to worry about getting around or making reservations also really made our trip super relaxing, we will definitely book with them again!

We recently took a trip to Ensenada Mexico. We stated in Portland Oregon and flew to San Deigo. Then took a Lyft to the walking bridge at the San Yasidro crossing. The ABC terminal is about 2 blocks from where you exit the border secure area. We found the small terminal to be good (it's in Mexico ). The very modern bus pulled in, they cleaned it and about 10 minutes before the scheduled time (12:35) they had everyone put their bags below and gave us tags. We got into the bus and... it left exactly at 12:35. Sl most the same experience going the other way. Really worth the $12. We'll do it again.
