It was a pleasure to spend the day with Carlos, great to be around and was a wealth of knowledge about everything from TJ throughout the Valley. Just took the train to the border and walked across.

My only regret was not booking a couple days for the trip to the valley, will definitely book again next time we're in San Diego.

Hasta el último el camionero fue el que me dijo y tuve que ir corriendo alas donas a comprar el boleto, aparte ellos no aceptan tarjeta tuve que sacar del cajero que ellos afortunadamente tienen. Yo para evitar estos inconvenientes marque para asegurar y me confié con la información que me dieron pero era incorrecta! (Aclaro marque a sucursal Huntington park). La vuelta dice tardar 3 horas pero en realidad tarda más. Al llegar a San Ysidro te bajas de un camión te subes a otro, después te bajas en aduanas y tienes que esperar hasta que todos los pasajeros hayan regresado de aduanas, después te pasan a otro camión donde se separan los que van al aeropuerto y central camionera (este paso fue súper desorganizado nos traían como to**** de camión en camión), al último te dejan a UNA CUADRA del aeropuerto, es un caminar y está mal que no digan con anticipación. Hay muchas personas que no pueden caminar esas distancias con equipaje. En fin, váyanse con unas 5 horas te anticipación antes de la hora que tienen que estar en el aeropuerto etc. Está alternativa es barata pero es demorado y no muy cómodo. Si tienes mucho tiempo está bien esta opción, si no recomiendo CBX y igual para alguien más mayor de la tercera edad no recomiendo que usen este transporte es mucho caminar para ellos al último y también es mucho andar para arriba y abajo de camiones (cabe recalcar que cada ves que te bajas tienes que andar cargando todo tu equipaje, nadie te ayuda.)

If you live in San Diego (or Southern California), you must book this tour…read more We have lived in San Diego for nearly 30 years, but haven't been to Tijuana in literally decades. We've been wanting to visit TJ but we didn't want to sit in traffic to cross the border. We finally discovered Tijuana Walking Tours. We booked a private tour for just the two of us. Our guide was Fernando, and he met us on a rainy day a few days before Christmas. We walked across the border pretty quickly, and then headed to our first stop at CECUT (Tijuana Cultural museum). That was a beautiful museum - and great gift shop too! After that we went to Mercado Hidalgo (spice market), where we did some shopping and had lunch. Fernando was helpful in providing more context to some of the food items in the market. We even tasted some local candy in the candy store. Lunch was awesome (too bad I can't remember the name of the restaurant). After that we went to the area around Avenida Revolucion and saw some back alleys with very interesting murals. We visited the cathedral, and lastly stopped by a beautiful gift shop which sold high-quality artistic goods, rather than the usual souvenirs. We took taxis and Uber around Tijuana. Fernando paid for everything up front; and then we paid him in cash for the transportation costs at the end of tour. Fernando had a very easygoing personality. We were impressed with his enthusiasm in sharing his knowledge and love for Mexican history/culture. So if you live in Southern California, definitely take the time to learn more about our neighbors down south with Tijuana Walking Tour. You'll be glad you did!

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!

Excellent job, Turiste Libre!…read more I especially liked Derrik's description of Tijuana as the "United Nations of Mexico." The diversity of the population in Tijuana was not something I was aware of until just a couple of years ago - in large part, thanks to his tour. Prior to that, when I visited Tijuana, I had feelings that were similar to the ones he described among his guests - the feeling of freedom - but I wasn't sure why I felt it, or what to make of it. After the tour with Turista Libre, my feelings about Tijuana evolved from "I feel so free there" to "I love that Tijuana is for everyone." It's exciting to be there and to think about the role that the city has played in the lives of so many who have sought better lives than the ones they left behind. At the same time, being there gives me a greater appreciation for the advantages and privileges I've had throughout my life as a citizen of the US.

We had a group of 19 for a beer and tacos tour. He came across the border to meet us and we walked back over as a group to his bus for our journey to begin. We got food and beer included in our tour that took us to the following places: Tacos ÁAron: Best Birria tacos I've ever eaten. Stewed beef, juicy and full of flavor with a nice kick! Kind service as well. Playami: Run by Border Psycho Brewing. Very kind and attentive staff that were willing to work with my malo Spanish. Great beer selection on tap and a cool indoor/outdoor area. There are also food and coffee options on site! Mexica Brewing: This small and charming brewery is owned and run by a pair of sisters that make great beer. Not far off Revolution Ave, it's worth the stop. Their honey porter is my favorite. Food options here too! Mamut Brewing: I had an amazing time chatting with one of the Brewers. All beers we tried were amazing. Their seasonal pumpkin was the best of that style I tried. Telefonica: Gastro food truck park. I had the best Pulpo (octopus) sandwich at Berracas Burger. It was not breaded and the taste was amazing. If you are nervous about visiting Tijuana, you have no reason to be with Derrick and Turista Libre. Their attention to detail and goal of really touring Mexico like a local was spot on. I will be booking this again for one of the many other adventures offered. For a great time, give this a try!

My friends and I weren't too sure of how the process would be since they picked us up after we walked across the border. We booked our rides through WhatsApp and the communication was super easy. They were super responsive, and the day before our designated rides, they shared the driver's number for us to connect directly. Our driver down to Valle was named Elias and made the whole process so simple! He picked us right outside of where we came out after crossing the border. He was super friendly and wanted to make sure we were comfortable for the drive. He told us a little bit about Valle and how he's lived there for 25 years. On my way back, I had a different driver, who was Natalie. She was super nice and the ride back was so quick, probably because it was the morning and traffic wasn't too bad in Tijuana yet. She was helpful in directing me to find the line to cross the border. Without the direction from her, I would have definitely been confused. They made this whole process so seamless! They were on time and available for all the questions I had leading up to the rides as well. I will for sure use them in the future any time I'm traveling somewhere driving distance in Mexico!

Alan, who owns this company, immediately responded to my inquiry about a cost estimate for a round trip pick up and drop off from Chula Vista to the TJ airport. The price was very reasonable and at first I was hesitant to book since I could not find reviews online but reading his website I made the decision to book with him and I'm glad I did! Alan picked me up promptly and even agreed to pick up my family at another location nearby. I found out that he lives in TJ with his family so he knows the area well and that he has been taking people not only to the airport in TJ but also drive people (including some businessmen) around the city and beyond (Ensanada, Rosarito, etc) I paid him half when he dropped us off at the airport and then the rest when he dropped us home after we came back from our trip. I would definitely book another service with him the next time I fly from Tijuana or even a day trip to the southern part of Baja California.

Like others I found this fellow on tripadvisors and most were good reviews. But in this case Alan, the owner, left four of us stranded at TIJ airport Sunday, Dec. 5 @ 7:30pm with no phone calls or messages alerting me of a problem, and I had pre-paid in advance with Paypal as he insisted! He was late by 35 minutes picking us up in San Ysidro for the transfer to TIJ airport on our outbound flight a week earlier, which could have, but didn't tip me off yet to his false promise of service. Do NOT trust him or his service the way we did unless you prefer lip service to real service. I have still NOT received a phone call or message, apologizing or explaining what went wrong...even a lame excuse would have been better than none. There was NO MISCOMMUNICATION with pick-up day or time on our return either. I sent two emails which he confirmed weeks earlier, talked with him about it on the ride to TIJ and a third email while in Mexico reminding him of the pick-up on Sunday. Needles to say, for the first visit to Tijuana Airport and arriving at night to get abandoned by your transfer company turned out to be a harrowing experience for my wife, her older sister (age 60), brother-in-law (age 65) and myself. From transfer across the border to hoofing it on foot with all our luggage was not a pretty sight. Stay CLEAR OF THIS GUY AND HIS COMPANY!! He talks a good line but does not deliver.
