Tadeo was a great host! He personalized the experience based on my preferences. I thought the breweries were great, saw some landmarks and tried new foods. I would definitely recommend the experience to a friend. Thank you, Tadeo!

Awesome local beer and taco experience!

Karen_A, Dec 2023

Humberto was great, very knowledgeable and fun. We had beer at three different places and tequila tasting at two different places. The tacos were delicious! Crossing the border was super easy. Humberto met us at the border on the Tijuana side since crossing to the US can be very busy. Definitely recommend having your global entry card as this will expedite your entrance back to the US. Walking across the border is much easier than driving.

Truly amazing experience

Samantha_H, Sep 2023

Truly amazing experience! Our guide, Victor, went above and beyond to show us the beauty of the city. The food, the drinks, and warmth of the culture were incredible. You stop at several local places and can see various shops. Victor always made sure we were well taken care of. Many of the locals knew him. Our group had great people in it, too. Highly recommend and hope to visit again.

Flexible fun tour

Lisa_V, Aug 2023

Excellent tour

Michael_B, Dec 2022

Our guide Victor was very knowledgeable and personable. I enjoyed the tour very much. We saw a lot and enjoyed many of the local craft beers. I highly recommend the tour and our tour guide Victor

Great tour!

Heather_C, Apr 2022

Tadeo was awesome! Recommend to everyone interested in a nice tour with an awesome guy. My favorite brewery was Border Psycho and my favorite tacos were the street tacos at the end of the night.

Loved this tour!

Laura_M, Apr 2022

Wow-This was so fun! Taleo was awesome. Very knowledgeable and took us to great locations. Must do for first timers in Tijuana! Feedback for the tour company- please disclose that we are crossing the border alone. The process of walking across the border was surprisingly easy (at least it was on a Thursday at 2pm and 8pm). However- I’d never done it before so I was certainly anxious the day of. I tried calling the number in the event listing and wasn’t able to reach anyone until the time of the tour. If the instructions were clear in advance, I would have felt much better going into this. Overall it was easy to Uber to the address provided and walk across. Taleo was on time/early and waiting for us on the Mexico side. Will recommend this tour to others!

You get a lot for a little bit of money

Aleshia_D, Apr 2022

Our tour guide, Talio, was an amazing guide. He showed my sister and me a great time during our visit to Tijuana. The various beers and street tacos were delicious. I will definitely be come back to visit again.

Great way to explore TJ

Jenna_P, Nov 2021

Tadeo was an amazing tour guide and everyone in our group had a fabulous time. I loved the small group aspect and how personalized the tour was. We went to 3 breweries, a restaurant for tacos/quesadillas, a tequila tasting and a rooftop bar. The pace was relaxed and we had time to learn about the breweries and Tijuana culture and art. I appreciated Tadeo's history background and local knowledge, which really set this experience apart. Highly recommend!

Bring your passport of birth certificate

Leslie_C, Sep 2021

It wasn't clear in the description that you had to bring a passport or ID and birth certificate, so we didn't have the correct documentation to go. Would be helpful to include it in the description so people have everything they need before they travel.

Fun tour!

Kiara_H, Jun 2021

I had a great tour of Tijuana with Gregorio P. He was super knowledgeable of Tijuana and the history. It was a fun tour. The tacos were my favorite part, of course! Would definitely recommend for those who wanna have a fun day touring Tijuana drinking beer and eating tacos.

Amazing!

Zeltzin_I, Apr 2021

This whole tour was incredible. Our tour was for a group of 8, and each member loved every minute. The transportation was secure (Shoutout to our kind driver Lalo), Covid safety measures were implemented and followed and most importantly we felt welcomed. Our day was packed with awesome beer drafts, delicious food, and beautiful sightseeing. A major part of this successful trip was our enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide Tadeo. He accommodated our trip inquiries, interacted with all members and was just very positive all around. Make sure you ask for him! Definitely will be booking more trips here!

Stressful

Analisa_M, Mar 2021

After I booked , I tried to contact this business 2 days , 1 day , hours, minutes in advance to get more information about this trip. they didn’t answer me until 10 minutes until the departure time. A lot of the information needed is not stated in the information given. No one met us at the location it tells you to meet at! We got to the border, and the guide said we have to cross into the border to meet him ( which was so confusing to find if it’s your first time) . The border were charging entrance and exit feeds back to the US. At the border we got put into a room , We sat in a room with 20 other people being questioned for 50 minutes . We decided to leave because we weren’t told any of this information and didn’t know what else to expect . It took us 3 hours to get back into the US Please don’t do this ! Please !

Amazing time

Manuel_A, Mar 2021

The best tour guide !! Had a blast, made sure we all were comfortable and having fun! Definitely would book with Tadeo and Don Lalo again! Best duo!!

The Tacos

Michelle_G, Sep 2020

We had a great time. This was our first time in Tijuana. Glad we purchased a tour for our first time. We stop at a few really great spots. We went to one place to taste tequila. It was o.k. as it was just a store. I was expecting a restaurant with tequila. We stood by the register and drink a few different tequila. The taco place we went to, the tacos were really great. Our tour guide was very friendly. We also went to a place to have Caesar salad.

First time visiting TJ

Jonathan_C, Feb 2020

This was my first time to TJ. Doing the taco and beer tour was a great way to get to know Tijuana. The tour is well organized. We visited multiple breweries, had tacos and did a tequila tasting. Tadeo is a great tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about the history of TJ. He knows the area well and was greeted as if he were the mayor while walking down the busy streets. Tadeo made sure I was able to cross the border into Mexico and got me back safely to the US border. I highly recommend doing this tour. It was a great experience with good company.

Tijuana

Thierry_T, Feb 2020

We visited 3 breweries and tasted excellent beers. Our guide took us to the local market and a great tacos place. She went out of her way to make this tour very enjoyable. She was very knowledgeable since she had spent all her life in Tiyuana. We also were lucky to be in a small group of 4. The other couple were charming. A great afternoon overall.

Not what we expected. Better!

Nicole_M, Dec 2019

We didn’t really know what to expect but the afternoon/evening was great! Humberto our guide walked across the boarder. He took us through markets and really showed us Tijuana. Fun breweries and great conversation. Recommend for small groups.

Excellent experience for first visit Tijuana

SUKWON_K, Aug 2019

It was 1st time to visit Tijuana for me. And my guide is 'Sarah'. She was great for Tijuana. She recommanded me four places of brewing store and one famous bar. And also the local taco place. I recommand you to join this program.

Great experience

We went last Friday, Carlos was our tour guide. He was waiting for us in front of Macdonald. Then, we walked to Tijuana. We took a bus to the center and we went to 3 beer breweries. The beers were delicious. After that we went to eat tacos It was a small place. The tacos were delicious. Carlos was very professional all the time. I definitely recommend this tour if you want to see the reality of Tijuana. We will come back soon.
