Fantastic food

Terri_T, Mar 2024
Marisol was so friendly and really focused on sharing her favorite street food with us. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. I liked that she just really focused on food rather than dragging us through various museums and cultural centers. She also gave us choices of what we’d prefer to try as well as took us in various shops and shared different types of sweets, fruits and cheeses. I would advise asking for Marisol when booking.

A good choice for foodies

We had such a great experience on our tour with Andres as our guide! He took us for delicious food throughout the day mixed in with history of the city and gorgeous views. Walking around the city city felt like walking with a friend. Through the different plazas and markets, you can tell that Andres has many connections and his love for the city is shown at each location he brought us to. He was very receptive to any input of locations we would like to see along the tour, and never felt rushed or slow. Overall this was a great time and would let others who travel to Tijuana for the first time experience it like this.

Best Tijuana tour

Humberto was an excellent tour guide. Great fun, food and shopping. He knew all the really clean restaurants with the freshest foods. Stopped for some great craft beer scenes as well. Highly recommend!

Umberto was the best guide you can imagine -- highly recommended (!). He showed us a lot of nice local places, and he was good friend during our time

Fantastic experience and we highly recommend it!

We went on a little adventure and took a walking foodie tour in Tijuana with lovely tour guide Sarah from Border Tours. We started our morning with mouth watering tacos and horchata for breakfast, followed by a matcha pastry, and then had freshly baked bread with hand crafted cheese, sundried tomato spread, mustard sauce and chimichurri. Next, we tried delicious coffee from a small shop that roasts their own coffee beans, followed by a beer tasting at a micro brewery. We finished off our tour with the best quesadillas I’ve ever eaten in freshly made tortillas made from blue corn from a family owned small restaurant. On our way back to cross over the border we stopped to do a bit of shopping. It was a fantastic experience and we highly recommend it!

Food Tour of Tijuana

Excellent tour. Got to sample street tacos, tamales, Caesar salad, and margarita. Left very full and satisfied. Enjoyed seeing the city of Tijuana and learning about the culture. Andres was a friendly and informative guide. Highly recommend.

Stood up at the boarder with a bogus phone number

Sandy_H, Apr 2019
Not only did our tour guide not show up, when I called to find out what was going on, no one answered the phone with number they gave me. I left multiple voicemails and text messages and still have not gotten a response from them 2 days later. A total rip off.... They stole my money and ran.

Andres, our tour guy was really...

Andres, our tour guy was really helpful and patient with our children. He had answers for all their questions. Tacos were a bomb, too bad I wasn't able to have eat more because of the size. My husband is Dominican and was able to try the Pulque and the traditional beer. True memorable vacations.
