Private Full-Day Guided Tour of Tijuana

Eric our tour guide was the ABSOLUTE best!!! He was kind, patient, helpful- …. Wait……I forgot let me start with AIR-CONDITIONED van…. That alone deserves 10 stars. No one in my group wanted to walk in the sun after waiting to get over the border. I had questions before we arrived both him and his partner Chris made sure I understood everything. The tour was awesome!! Take my word- This is the one you want to take…… no need to keep scrolling!😁

Had a great time with our guide Erick, highly recommend! We crossed the border on foot from San Ysidro and Erick picked us up and took us to eat tacos, visited the beach, walked around downtown Tijuana, drove around the city to see different points of interest and ended our day with a yummy seafood dinner. Erick is so knowledgeable about the city and we had a fun time spending the day with him. He also customized the tour based on what we wanted to see and what we like to eat. He wanted to make sure that we got the most out of our experience and recommended that we start a little later so as to avoid long lines when crossing. Thanks Erick!

Took some friends to TJ for the first time and this tour was the perfect introduction to the city. Our guide Arturo, who was friendly, informative, and spoke good English, picked us up two blocks from the pedestrian border crossing. After getting tacos for breakfast we went to Friendship Park along the border and explored the boardwalk. Later, we drove to Revolution Avenue, a main tourist spot in the city. Highlights included the zonkey pic, Popo Market, lucha libre museum, and Hotel Caesar, where the original caesar salad was invented. Overall, everyone had a great time, saw some new things, and got to eat delicious food. Excellent price and I would book again.

This tour is very worthy. Arik and Arturo are our tour guides. They showed us the US-mexico wall, beach, and told us the history and stories behind the walls and the doors of the friendship park. The door is much more than just a door after listening to the stores. It represents the sympathy and love of human beings. We walked from the past historical museum of Tijuana, obsolete bullring to the present busy Tijuana downtown. We tasted special Tequila wines which we never had before, street tacos which are simple but yummy, fine foods served in luxury restaurants and all kinds of fresh fruits on the street and never-seen foods in the trade market. Ark and Arturo took lots of pictures with us and we like them!
Arik and Arturo are hospitable, responsible, polite and knowledgeable. It was a great tour!

The tour was good, value for money, Angel was a very nice person however his English was not the best so difficult to understand. Had to ask for water.

My guide was Humberto. I found myself in Tijuana and contacted the company to see if I could mee the guide at a spot in Tijuana since I was already there. No problem. Humberto went beyond by meeting me at the hotel. From there we went to the border crossing to wait for others. In fact it was a family from B.C. Canada, so it was great to have some fellow Canadians on this tour. What a scene that border crossing is! Humberto was an awesome guide! He knows so much and I learned so much about the city, where to eat, some great liquor tasting, etc. I highly recommend this tour. Tijuana gets a bad rap really. It has so much to offer! The next day, was "Hurricane Hillary" so we couldn't revisit some of the places that we wanted to go to to eat shop, etc. It just rained really hard and we just spent time at the hotel waiting for our ride to San Diego. I have a suggestion for the company. Perhaps on their webpage have some indication that if you are already in Tijuana that you are welcomed to contact the company to see how to join the tour as the tour states it starts from San Diego. I mentioned this tour to a few locals and they will recommend this to others.

Marco was a very friendly and attentive guide. He was a good driver and got us to all the spots safely and with ease. We stopped 5 different places to eat as well as walk and drive to different spots. Food was excellent and it was a great way to spend a day on our first trip to Mexico!

Mullme, Caesar’s and CECUT were great. Downtown was good to see the grocer and pharmacy shops of day to day life…but too many touristy stores mixed in. At Playas, we liked one of the beachside drink/snack vendors. Overall we left feeling like we must have missed some cultural spots.

Grew up going to Tijuana so I have been numerous times but never have I been to the places that Joe took us to! He totally showed us a different side of TJ and that was the absolute best part of having a guide. My family and I felt totally safe and well taken care of the entire day and left totally stuffed with amazing tacos and beer from our many stops. Definitely recommend!

This Mexico experience with Baja Tours is undefeated! Erick has been supportive since booking the tour months in advance. I left my headphones in the tour van, Mr. Erick had them shipped, and I received the package today. Erick. I can’t thank you enough. My super awesome mega sweet friend Angel 😇 the best tour agent EVER! I can’t wait to book the next one. Don’t hesitate to book Baja Tours. 💟

Excellent Tour! I totally recommend it! I went with my family, and we were able to learn more about TJ and its culture. Also, we felt safe during the entire trip. Our tour guide was able to pick us up and drop us off right next to the San Ysidro pedestrian crossing, and we crossed the border without any issues.

We wanted to visit Tijuana for a day as we were staying in San Diego. We chose this tour as it was a private tour and offered transport to many popular sites. We were very well looked after by our guide Chris who shared his knowledge of the history and sites and was very accommodating to our needs. We enjoyed lots of great food including tacos, Caesar salad and local sweets. We enjoyed a visit to a micro brewery aswell. We saw many iconic sites. Highly recommend if you want to see a lot in a short time. Clear instructions are provided in where to cross the border to the meeting point.

If you are looking for a tour where it feels like a born and raised local friend is showing you around, this is it! Excellent tour with Cristian around Tijuana! They were able to accommodate my group of 8 on very short notice and delivered a customized route based on our group’s interest, on the fly! As somebody that loves interesting facts/history of places, Cristian’s true local knowledge of the area was surely impressive. Hard to tell he was born and raised in Tijuana because his English and communication was perfect. We felt safe and well taken care of the entire time. The tour never felt rushed and we had plenty of time for our leisure. I was already planning my next tour with him before it was over. If I was anywhere near the San Diego area, I will be jumping the border for Cristian to show me some cool place around Tijuana. Book it and you will not be disappointed!

It was one of the greatest days of our holiday to California, Erik was polite and full of knowledge. We love how he managed the day and tailored the flow exactly how we want it. We experienced everything Tijuana had to offer, tasted the food, saw the monuments and listened to the great history. Punctual and friendly. Highly recommended.

So many great places to visit! Eric took us to several great restaurants, including Caesars, and the food was wonderful! But the best of all was the Museo de la Lucha Libre. An amazing museum that records so much of the history of the iconic Mexican approach to wrestling. Be sure to get your photo taken "en el ring!"

Overall, Eric showed us so many things about his great city.

We wanted to do a day tour of Tijuana but was hesitant about doing it on our own. I did a little research in the day tour group options and picked Baja Rides and Tours based on the great reviews and reasonable prices based on a private tour format.

Our guide Marco took us to so many great places to eat and sight see and shop. He also was very accommodating of what we wanted to do and also flexible with the time. We had a great experience and are hoping to try the Guadalupe Wine Valley Tour next time.

Just some tips: The blue line trolley to San Ysidro will take about 45 mins from San Diego, the border walk though took us 20 mins in the morning, and 1hr20 mins on the way back on a Thursday.

This tour is a taste of everything from food to sites and so much fun along the way. Erick was our tour guide and provided easy-to-follow instructions to the pick-up site after we crossed the border. Our guide was very flexible in accommodating food preferences and included specific sites in the tour that we wanted to see. We also learned so much about the history of the sites we saw and Erick was very knowledgeable and answered all the crazy questions we asked. We created so many memories and did things we never thought we'd do on this tour that we wouldn't have experienced on our own. The entire process was smooth from booking to drop off. We highly recommend booking this tour!
