My daughter and I had a fantastic time on our private tour. Our guide took us to all the tourist places but also places that were off the tourist path but so beautiful to see. Highly recommend.

What a great day!

Published on Sep, 2024

Denisse was a fantastic guide. Tacos, tequila, tacos, mezcal, shops, beer, more tacos. What a great day! We visited the Hotel Caesar for Caesar Salad and a tiny bar hidden in a market. We visited the border wall at the beach, saw the old bullfighting ring and the cathedral. My wife bought jewellery, apple tequila, and vanilla essence. A great full day, 7 hours of unhurried fun. One word of caution-walking back over the border took us nearly an hour (4pm Thursday).

Food and Location Tour

Published on Aug, 2024

Our tour guide was Arturo. He was great! He told us where we were going before we started driving made sure he was communicating clearly in English and in Spanish. He knew the history of every place we went to. We ate at some local spots that were delicious. First, we had birria, then tamales, then steam tacos. He knew the spots. We felt safe at all times and definitely recommend the tour and Arturo!
