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.

Mario was very knowledgeable in showing us some sights in Tijuana. The mescal, beer and taco tastings were fantastic. I especially enjoyed walking around the markets. I recommend Mario and his tours. I hope to do a wine tour in the future.

We had an awesome time on this tour. Mario was amazing. From the initial booking to the actual tour, he took care of all the details, answered my many questions and kept all of us on track during the tour. We were celebrating my daughter's birthday and everything was perfect. I would highly recommend this company. We enjoyed 3 wineries plus lunch. We felt safe the entire time and would definitely do this 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.

Terrible experience with vendor Jesus, He provided deceiving information, showed a picture of a vehicle and the driver showed up in a different vehicle which was an old taxi cab, smelly and with non working A/C, when contacted He didn’t offered a solution and now He is only returning a partial refund for a service that was never received and was cancelled immediately, definitely buyer’s beware!

This tour on the list will set you on the right path of experiencing the local culture of Tijuana it's multicultural scene and it's people. In this tour you will explore the Tijuana in a few hours as a local. Tijuana is located 30 min. from Downtown San Diego, California; has 2.3 million people of which 75%, approximately, are foreigners. But no one is excluded in Tijuana! Actually Tijuana is made of outsiders; and since probation Tijuana has been living and growing thanks to tourism. Awesome food and craft beer experience unlike any other city in Mexico. This new interest in food and craft beer has given Tijuana a new growth in culture,all along the Baja. Tijuana has being the path for many people looking to have the american dream, by crossing legally or illegally thru the USA Border. This leaves people behind what makes them to either settle or go back home. Most of them stay and build there life here.

My friend and I booked this tour on TripAdvisor. Pretty straight forward but due to COVID, instead of meeting at the McDonalds, we had to walk across the border and meet our tour guide there. We spent the day with Tadeo and he was great! He was fully of energy, very helpful, very friendly, and very knowledgeable. Very safe tour, very fun. We had a great group; it was a great time. Highly recommend this tour! If you can request for someone specific, Tadeo is the man!

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.
