We attempted to book with Baja Border Tours for a day trip into Baja Mexico. West was unavailable during our trip, but he made sure we were taken care of by referring us to Uncle Jose--and that worked out perfectly. After a quick and easy walk through customs, Uncle Jose met us right across the street and got the day started smoothly. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable right away. He guided us through a mix of local shops and restaurants, then gave us the flexibility to visit the spots we specifically wanted. We made our way to Puerto Nuevo for lobster, which absolutely lived up to the hype, and of course stopped at Restaurante Caesar's--the birthplace of the Caesar salad--which was a highlight of the trip. Uncle Jose took great care of us throughout the day and made the experience easy and enjoyable. If you are able to walk across the border and walk back or take a $10 shuttle back into the US, ask for Uncle Jose a warm and knowledgeable local that will take great care of you. Highly recommended if you're looking for a fun, safe and stress-free Baja adventure! read more

We hired West as our driver for a 4-day bachelorette trip in Mexico, and I can confidently say he was one of the best parts of our experience. From the moment we met him, we felt SO safe, taken care of, and genuinely welcomed. West's kindness, professionalism, and deep love for the area and its people truly stood out. He was always ready with helpful tips, local recommendations, and a warm smile--not just for us, but for everyone we came across. He went above and beyond in so many ways: arranging an extra driver to help with our luggage, assisting with last-minute errands, and even being our unofficial group photographer before events. Traveling somewhere unfamiliar can be a little nerve-wracking, but knowing West would be there to drop us off and pick us up made us feel so much more comfortable. His presence gave us peace of mind, and we were able to enjoy ourselves fully knowing we were in such good hands. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and incredibly reliable, West is your guy. We're so grateful for everything he did for us and would recommend him a thousand times over! read more

In a word -- EPIC! We had high expectations based on all of the amazing reviews and this adventure exceeded every single one of our expectations. West adores Baja, Mexico -- its stunning sights and sounds, its colorful cast of characters, its glorious food -- and his passion for sharing its beauty, culture, and history with his guests is truly in a class of its own. We struck gold with West. He treated us like royalty. Every little detail mattered to him ... and, believe me, there were lots of little details! I'll refrain from sharing so there are no spoilers here! West and Flora have created something so unique and special with Baja Border Tours. Trust us, you are missing out if you pass on the opportunity to see Baja with West. Rumor has it he may be starting another tour in a new destination. We. Are. In! read more

This was an unbelievable tour! We began the tour as strangers and ended as friends with West. And he knows everyone you encounter, and if you're with him, everyone treats you like family. Great food choices along the way. Ample free time to roam on your own. Deep understanding from someone who loves Baja California. Don't pass this up! read more

09/21/18 it's my birthday weekend and the best way to spend a long weekend is by planning an adventure I've never been. Yelp search for 1 day Baja tours...Baja Border Tours was best rated. I checked out the website, emailed, and booked it. If you're a skeptic about doing a day tour to Tijuana, book your tour with Baja Border Tours. Why? 1. They answer your emails and whatever questions you have from time of pick up, where, and who will pick you up (comes with the photo) 2. Everything on their website is true 3. They call you (even if you're unable to answer and a voicemail message was left, they call again)...still skeptic? Ok read on... Eddie and I arrived way too early to our pick up place (I was excited) and our tour guide West called and he'll be arriving shortly. Upon meeting West and exchanging pleasantries, he will get to know you. West is an observant tour guide. He anticipates the needs of his small group tour and gives you enough time to explore the places from Tijuana-Rosarito-Puerto Nuevo and back. I liked the way he called us by our names and made sure that we are having a good time. He's passionate with what he's does and he'll let you step out of your comfort zone (in a good and safe way don't worry) That being said expect the unexpected in this tour...from the stories, the food, the drinks, the people and the memories of the tour. Come with an open mind and discover the adventurous side of you. Remember that its you who make memories of your adventure, the rest are add ons. You may now pass this way twice so make the most of it! Enjoy the pictures! read more

This is the second time we've taken a Baja border tour with West. This time it was two nights and three days. We had a wonderful time. It was a mixture of gourmet food and lodging in the Guadalupe wine valley and hole in the wall eateries and one of a kind experiences in TJ, Puerto Nuevo and Rosarito. West knows everybody and every little thing to do in these areas. he's so much fun and so very knowledgeable. This is not your canned tour guide!!! A Baja tour with West is a unique experience. After this tour you will have experienced real Mexico safe and comfortably. read more

I can easily give the highest recommendation for West and his company, Baja Border Tours. West knows how to navigate the border crossings, traffic jams, and any other glitches quickly and efficiently. He is known and welcomed by the locals, who can sometimes be seen high-fiving him. He chose terrific local venues, sights, and vendors for us, some of which only an insider might know about. Perhaps the best part of the trip was watching how West handled one of our tour-mates who was in a difficult state. He spent extra time and care watching out for her and making sure she had the best experience possible. When a tour-mate left their passport in Mexico, West was able to sail us through the border check into the US in spite of the missing passport and humongous lines. Then, as our day was ending late (thanks to a traffic jam in the US), we received word the passport had been found in Rosarito. West dropped us off in Old Town, then headed right back to Rosarito, alone. He eventually retrieved the missing passport and hand-delivered it to the tour-mate's residence. West can design a tour around just about any kind of experience you would like. I can't wait to do another tour by Baja Border Tours. read more

This tour was amazing and I'm sad it has taken me 3 months to finally post about it. Excellent tour guide, you can't ask for a better experience. He made us live through comedy, drama and even suspense. Hands down, if you want to do a day tour of Mexico this is the one you sign up for. Make sure you bring cash for purchases (dollars). read more

6 Stars out of 5, amazing! Best tour I have ever been on. West really has the area dialed. Basically felt like I was on a day trip, with my best friend, who wanted to make sure I saw all the coolest places in a day, both popular, and hole in the wall treasures. He really does just want to show you a good time, and he knows everyone! Recommending this tour to all of my friends read more

West is the best tour guide for Baja hands down a great day book a trip and enjoy Mexico with the locals !! Epic !!

Even though I live in SoCal, I've only been to Mexico one other time. Upon searching for a tour, Baja Border Tours seemed the most comprehensive and all of the positive reviews helped with my decision making. I was in communication with West and his wife prior to the tour- they were very responsive and detailed. On the actual day, it was no exception. We were picked up and greeted by West. He provided thorough explanations of what he had planned for us and he squeezed in some great surprises as well. He was not only hospitable, but loved to crack jokes. He took care of everything and ensured everyone's needs and requests were met- in fact, he exceeded our expectation. The 12 hour tour from TJ to Rosarito to Puerto Nuevo was filled with fun, food, and culture. Definitely a must book if you're interested in touring more than just Tijuana! read more

This review is loooong overdue. Back in October of 2019, my significant other and our 13-year-old daughter booked this amazing tour! One of the BEST tours we have taken. Our tour guy West was professional, awesome, funny, a GREAT photographer and always made sure we felt safe. This tour included LOTS of food (you will not go hungry, I promise), history, art and even gives you time to explore on your own. This tour really will exceed your expectations and is an awesome way to get around Baja Mexico. Looking forward to booking with Baja Border Tours again, but this time for their Mexico Wine Tour. I would also like to mention our tour guy West was kind enough to mail us a sweater we left behind in his van. Thank you again West. read more

Let me just start by saying I've been on a lot of tours. City tours, food tours, hop off and on tours, etc. No tour will ever compare to this one. This is not just a tour. This is spending an entire day with a tour guide who is absolutely in love with Mexico. The amount of passion the tour guide has for for Mexico is unbelievable. This tour lasted about 12 hours but it was the most informative, fun, exciting tour I've ever been on. There was not a single moment where I was bored. We went to the beach, saw the art culture in Mexico, had an emotional moment at the border wall, met with locals about their life in Mexico, and most of all constantly ate. I can promise you will not go hungry on this tour. I can also guarantee you will have the most fun of your life if you choose this tour over any other Mexico tour. read more

I've traveled and taken many tours in my day. But West and this crew really are at the top of the list. Here's what I valued most: a) While there is an itinerary, he is not so rigid that you're always on the clock. Instead, he rallies the tour based on how fast people are making it back, enjoying the sights, etc. b) He has a real personality and discusses things like you're a friend. It's not a rehearsed script that is impersonal. While he does make sure to cover certain topics, he's really just story telling in regular language. He relates to people very well. c) He seems to know everyone in all the towns we visited. He should run for mayor. :) But seriously, he is very well liked and I think that speaks volumes. d) Most importantly, he's a genuinely nice person to everyone on the tour. My wife and I were celebrating our 9th anniversary, and I can tell you he made it VERY special to us. I don't want to say specifically what was done (because people might expect a specific thing)....what I can say is that it was totally unexpected, and it was really neat. We'll remember it always. e) I almost forgot. You eat SO WELL throughout the day. I miss the flavors already. Thanks West and team. Hope to travel again with you soon! read more

best tour ever! We have been to Cabo twice and enjoyed it but this tour was real Mexico! There were seven of us including the tour guide West. He was outstanding, not only personable but knowledgeable! He took us to various villages where we got to meet the locals (very friendly bunch, no exceptions) and see how they lived. We got to see art and artists, walk the beach and of course, go into shops. Seeing the sights was worth the trip alone but West also took us to Mexican restaurants for great food. We had a blast and would recommend this to anyone! read more

My son and I had Wonderful time. It was the highlight of our mini vacation. I definitely recommend this tour. read more

I chose Baja Border Tours over other tours because it seemed to offer a more educational, cultural, and scenic experience, and it was more than what I expected! West Barba is the best tour guide ever. He's so professional, social, and is understanding of and quick to addressing people's needs. He has organized his tours to a tee! It's incredible. West understands vibes, scenic views, and good food. I recommend it to everyone of all ages! read more

West is a nice guy and good driver, but if you are looking for a party experience, I would not recommend Baja Borders for your tour to Valle de Guadalupe. I realize now his 5 star yelps are for a different tour. My group was 13 people flew in from all parts of the country ready to party and day of we were told, "It's wine tasting, not get drunk". Day of (after being 15+ minutes late) we were told we could play our music, but he controlled the volume. I coordinated with West prior regarding having a ice chest with beers in the van for the 3 hr drive, it seemed fine until day off, he didn't have the cooler and wouldn't let us drink in the van. He said it was against the law especially in Mexico, which I find ironic because we know many people that have done other Valle tours that drank in the their bus. He spent over 30 minutes going over his waivers for the first pick up group, then another 30+ minutes going over the waivers again with the 2nd half of the group when he could have just started driving to the border and tell us to read and sign or at least condense to one explanation at the second pick up location. We did not get to the Valley until 6+ hrs later due to his delays, inefficiency in discussing his rules, and unexpected traffic! I just wish he checked the traffic on his maps and bypassed that route by going the other non coastal route. We did not get to the Valley for the first winery until 3 pm and we had dinner reservations at Fauna's at 5pm. Fortunately, we were able to move our reservations down to 7pm, which I am grateful for. I do appreciate that he felt bad we were not having fun in the end and he did spend a few more hours driving us around to make sure we could execute most of the plans. We didn't get to have any street tacos as mentioned in the tour fee, but I feel like he did compensate by driving us a little longer. What he also would do during the day would be to ask us for cash for the tips. He would then pay us back for the tips, but then tried to ask for them back in the final invoice. The hidden fees were strange and he said that nothing on his website said it includes tipping the wineries and restaurants. Why would we pay for his services for him to bother us for cash and move reservation times around? Unlike other tours, he hovered over us a lot and didn't let us do our own thing. He was always on HIS agenda rather than cater to us, the paying clients. At the end of the night, he was going to have us get out of his car and cross the border and meet him at Jack in the Box on the US side. This was around 2 am! Lastly, when the first group got dropped off, he couldn't find one of the wine bottles we bought. Everything was just so frustrating. Supposedly he has been doing this for a long time, but nothing was streamline and done with ease. West is a nice guy, but I would not recommend his services for Valle de Guadalupe tour. My friends had a completely different experience with a different tour company. read more

This tour really will exceed your expectations and is an excellent way to get around Baja Mexico with someone who has been going there for 18 years, knows everyone, and takes you to places you would never know existed if you went on your own. He is very knowledgable about the history and people of Mexico, provides more amazing food stops than you imagine, and the tour also gives you time to do your own thing in each spot so you can explore your own interests. As long as you can be respectful of others and have an open mind, you will really have the best day. West is very accommodating and generous and we will definitely be going back to Baja after doing this tour. read more

My husband and I vacationed for 2 weeks in La Jolla in July 2018. Prior to arriving there from Phoenix, I researched the myriad of border tours, as my husband and I love Mexico, its people, its food, its wine, its culture. My husband and I wanted to "experience" Mexico, especially the food and the local wineries. I could not find a tour that did both food and wine for a reasonable price. They all seemed...well, touristy, catering to the cruise-line crowd, with little to offer. THEN I found "Baja Border Tours!" The company had nothing but FIVE STAR reviews! So I picked up my phone and called. A man named West answered the phone and he spent 20 minutes answering all my questions. I was SOLD! We booked a tour for July 5, 2018. It was 7:40 a.m. when we met the bubbly, cheerful West (who owns the business and conducts all the tours) at a gas station close by where we were staying in La Jolla. He whisked us off to pick up four other couples who would be making the trek South of the Border with us. We were so looking forward to this trip. West is an amazing Colombian man, who will create an experience for you like no other. He absolutely LOVES what he does and his only goal is to make sure you are treated like a rock star. The trip started at the border where we checked in with authorities. Then across the border we went with the first stop in Tijuana at a wonderful, quaint, little Mexican restaurant that served us up street side with some of the biggest and most delicious Tamales we've ever had (and we live in Phoenix where Tamales are plentiful). We filled our bellies on these amazing gems. My husband and I were hungry, having had no breakfast--anticipating Mexican delicacies (as West promised when I first called him). We each had two tamales--one beef--one pork belly--and a few samples of corn Tamales, and even a bite or two of a strawberry tamale. Yes! A strawberry tamale! West gave us a short history on the border wall and how families from both sides connect with each other and even introduced us to a man who runs a shelter for refugees that desired to cross over to the U.S. A great experience. Soon we were off to the next stop...driving further south into Mexico, headed to Rosarito--and all along West talking, joking, telling us stories and giving us historical perspective of the people and the culture. Not long after the Tamale binge (West did warn us to go easy on the food at first because there would much more food to be had), we stopped for street tacos at a road side stand which was soooooo good! No, more than good...these street tacos could be served up in a 5-star restaurant for $$$$. The two men preparing the tacos for a huge crowd in open air were masters at their craft, as they busily carved meat from a spit and added it to the grill with fresh guacamole sauce and Pico. Still full from the Tamales, we each gobbled down two tacos (mine were spicy--just the way I like it) and fully enjoyed every single bite. From here, it was back in the van and headed to our first wine tasting. We pulled up to the most spectacular restaurant in downtown Rosarito. The interior of the restaurant and the wine cellar was like stepping back in time to Old Mexico. We felt like we were in a movie. We met the restaurant owner and enjoyed wine that was out of this world and warm, freshly made tortillas. After downing a couple of bottles of terrific wine, West let us loose to experience all the wonderful shops nearby. Here we gained a driver named Aaron--who is an amazingly hard worker, relieving West from his driving duties, so he could spend more time with us in the van. From here, we traveled for quite some time into the beautiful wine country of Mexico. We stopped at an Organic winery where my husband and I tasted and discovered wine so good that we bought a couple of bottles to bring home. Here we enjoyed cheese, bread, salsas & jam with our wine. A wonderful experience here and the people who run the winery so very friendly and accommodating. I would be remiss if I did not mention in this review how much LOVED West is by the Mexican people. He knows EVERYONE (and even has the Churro maker at the border on speed dial--but that's another story for another day), and it was abundantly apparent to us that everyone we came into contact with revere him as he is so kind and loving and generous to these people. The next stop was at another winery/full service restaurant (mind you, we were still full from the tamales, tacos, cheese, jams, salsas and wine we just had) where we were served an amazing 3-course lunch. Then off to two more wineries--the last one being the most amazing. West timed it at sunset, high on a hill overlooking the ocean. HEAVEN! I have maxed out on words for this review--Yelp won't allow more. I could write much more. We arrived home at midnight! It was a FULL and AMAZING day! Don't miss out on West's tour. It will be a trip of a lifetime! We love you, West! Thanks so much! read more

If you are looking for a great tour of Mexico this is the place to go. West is an amazing tour guide and his expertise allows you to experience a side of Mexico that non natives would not be able to on their own. He is very passionate about his job and really caters to his guest's needs. He's a great story teller and has a lot of information about the history of Mexico. I had a lot of fun on this tour and learned a lot. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore Mexico. read more

This tour is amazing! I would highly recommend this to anyone. He made us love and enjoy Mexico so much that we want to come back as soon as we can. West has the personality to bring everyone from all over the place together. Our group had the fun chemistry that made our trip that much more fun! There will be plenty of food, amazing places that only locals know, and will get to know Mexico. Honestly, I wanted to have the lobster lunch, but since one of the people in our group is allergic to shellfish, West brought us to a Mexican restaurant instead. The food is nonetheless delicious!!! The spontaneous stops from time to time was an extra surprise! We also missed the Churros because his guy was nowhere to be found, but they again, the whole day was very well spent. You can tell that he loves what he's doing and loves Mexico that much. read more

If I could give West and this tour 10 stars, I would. Hurry and book him because you will not regret it. It's a real personal experience bc West is both the owner and tour guide of his company. He really cares about you as an individual and the quality and care of his company. My mom and I joined his tour to visit Tijuana and Baja California, Mexico for the cultural, food and art experience. He took real good care of us: my mom being a senior citizen and me with my dietary restrictions. He made pick up and drop off meeting areas really easy for all of us. It's an all day adventure visiting Tijuana, Rosarito Beach and Puerto Nuevo. West knows all the local people so that he knows his way in and out of the city. He is so generous; not cheap at all. Free water bottles in the van all day. We were fed w food and drinks all day until we were stuffed: tamales, Mexican chili ice pops, Mexican lunch, street tacos, Mexican candies, nuts and chili covered dried fruits, churros, and lobsters for an additional price. For an additional fee, we also went horse back riding on the Rosarito Beach for 20-30 mins. We had some wine and tequila tastings throughout the day. We also participated in live Mexican spray paint art. Just do it. You won't regret it. Its the best bang for the buck. It's worth it. There's not enough words to describe how amazing of a tour experience we had with West at Baja Border Tours. read more

Baja Border Tours - Friendship park - Bus Tours Near Me

Terrific tour! You know when you go visit your friend in his city and he takes you to all of his favorite local places? This is what West did on our tour. Since we were visiting San Diego and I've never been to Mexico, this was the time to go and I'm so happy I found Baja Border Tours. My husband was uncomfortable with the idea of us renting a car and driving down by ourselves. West took care of us. We went down into Baja for stops in ocean side towns with delicious food, beverages, sweets and beautiful views! Of course we stopped in Tijuana, but I realized that going only there is like going to New York City and only seeing Times Square. read more

Well..... I wish there were more stars that I could add. Top Notch Trip. West is an Amazing Human Being who truly cares about people and creating everlasting lifetime memories. I arranged for 14 girlfriends (including my Mother visiting from England) to go to Mexico for the day as it was her dream. Forget what people say about the safety aspect. You are safer there than at some of Americas finest cities. Lobster, laughter and an abundance of delights for the eyes. Take the trip it will not disappoint you.

Do it! My husband and I had a blast with West on our day trip to Mexico. I learned a lot along the way. West has a lot of passion, respect, and love for the locals and local businesses in Mexico. Going to friendship park where the wall was located was powerful. We got to do some shopping at Rosarito, Puerto Nuevo, TJ. We ate a lot of yummy food. Drank some amazing tequila (better than Patron). Let's not forget the churros on the way back to the border. We came back with full bellies and awesome souvenirs to remember our time in Mexico. read more

7 family members including my 85 year old father took a Baja Border Tour over the holidays. We had a wonderful time! From the minute we called to book our tour until we were dropped off at the end of the day, West made sure that our needs were accommodated, especially my Dad. Unlike other tours that we've booked, West made us feel like the tour was specifically tailored for us. The sites, food, drinks and overall experience was great. We have already recommended Baja Border Tours to our friends and will be booking another tour in the future. read more

Can't say enough about this tour! I've been recommending this place to everyone who will listen to me rave about my day trip to Tijuana :D A friend found this tour, and to be honest I was a little skeptical because it is a privately owned company and I didn't know much about Tijuana (everyone I talked to [who had, btw, never been to Tijuana..] warned me about how dangerous it was). Going on this tour was one of the highlights of my trip to California! West is the best tour guide ever, he customized our whole day and never rushed us while we visited different parts of Tijuana, Rosarito, etc. Visited the border (learned about the story behind Friendship Park), rode horses on the beach, ate FRESH ceviche and then freshly baked fish at hidden fish market, visited the set of the Titanic movie, tried homemade tequila, walked around downtown Tijuana, ate some bomb ass tacos, and got some churros on our way back across the border :) West picked us up in San Diego and drove us back and never once did he make this seem like a formal, stuffy tour - it was just like hanging out with a friend. Thank you again for the awesome time! read more

If I could give West 10 stars, I would. We took a tour on a Friday to celebrate my birthday. We had a private tour as we had 7 family members and West was able to accommodate us! West introduced himself as our friend and we never thought of him being anything else. He was amazing. We felt extremely safe and very comfortable. He knows everyone in Mexico - not kidding. We had plenty of food throughout the day and were absolutely stuffed by the time we got back in San Diego later that evening. I can't wait to take his wine tour to Ensenada. We'll be signing up for that very soon! Thanks again for treating my family like it was your own and providing us with such a memorable experience!!! read more

I'm not sure if words can describe how amazing West is and how special he made this tour for my family and me...My parents were in town visiting from Florida and I was hesitant about taking them to Mexico during the pandemic...but West assured me he was THE BEST and he lived up to that reputation and THEN SOME...my parents are elderly and he West provided door to door service, picked us up at my place, handled our visas, took us to the Mexican market to try local delicacies like tamales, fruits, spices, juices, and bugs...then took us to friendship park and taught us about the border wall and introduced us to some really kind, amazing locals...then off to Rosarito to the beach to walk around / shop...then Puerto Nuevo where we had a lobster and margarita lunch, mariachi band, tequila coffee drinks, and saw a beautiful art gallery. On the way home we stopped at a famous taco stand and got churros to go (West literally had a contact that brought them to us in the border line - which only took about 20 minutes to get back into the states). The price of this tour is an ABSOLUTE steal in terms of price to value...West is a honest, kind, hustler who really gives out more than he gets in life, gives back to the community, and always puts the happiness of his customers first...can't say enough great things about him - other than amazing!!! Happy to post some photos if anyone is interested as well! read more

Hands down, the best tour I was ever a part of. West is a very passionate and energetic guide who shows you the real Mexico which is very different from what news channels and documentaries show. When we started our tour from SD, he was not kidding about us complaining at the end of the tour of too much food. We had tamales for breakfast, fajitas/lobsters for lunch, candy tasting, one too many shots of Tequila, Ice cream with Chili, TJ Tacos and Churros before crossing the border back to the US. Food coma is guaranteed! He definitely is not your usual tour guide. He makes sure you feel comfortable, jokes around and ensures you have a jolly good time. Will take this tour again in the future! read more

West cares about his guests and strives to give each of them VIP treatment. As a veteran tourist to Baja California myself, at first I was skeptical that I would be seeing anything new but after two one day tours with West, I can promise you that he will unveil places and experiences that even people familiar with the area have not seen. His tours reveal the beauty of Baja in both its people, and the land and you can't help but walk away with even more respect for the area and its people. You will be amazed as you meet West's friends along the way. Don't hesitate to book a tour with him. Your enjoyment and safety are his primary concerns. His vehicles are clean and well maintained. I would not hesitate to go on another tour with West and I know that he will have no problem showing me new places and people. His tours are also an excellent value and worth every penny! read more

If you want a great guided trip to Baja for the day Baja Border Tours is a great option. Our guide and owner, West, was always ready to show us something interesting and engage in conversation. There were four of us in our group and another party of six on our tour. We had a great time and I think West was having as much fun as the customers. His passion for his work was evident in his energy and customer service. We were on the wine tour but also saw many of the coastal areas and cities. The tour was a great value for the money and I would be happy to use his services in the future. John Thomas read more

Our trip was wonderful. West customized our day to our desires. We wanted a less touristy trip. No bus tour dropping off a 100 tourists to visit a predetermined spot. He spoke with me, took the time to understand what we wanted to see, and then provided us with a memorable experience. I felt safe and protected. We had the most delicious food and drinks too. He is a knowledgeable and professional tour guide. I am giving his card to everyone because he is fabulous. read more
