Tijuana Day Trip from San Diego

This exotic day trip is a must-go for bargain hunters, and those interested in Mexico's exciting culture.

"We had a great time from being on the coach with the most amazing and funny tour guide, to being in the Mexican culture in less than an hour. All the information that our driver gave us was relevant and extremely helpful!"

Re: Tijuana Day Trip from San Diego

We had never been to Mexico before and thought that this might be a good (and safe) intro to the Mexican culture.  The four of us went on the morning tour and were very surprised at what we learned from this excursion.  The only thing that we ever knew about Mexico was bargain shopping and tequila!  The cultural center was the high-lite of the day.  We saw so many unbelievable things.  Enrique, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable throughout the entire day.  For those of you that know about as much as we originally knew of Mexico, I highly recommend this tour.  You'll walk away with a different view on their country!
