WEST IS THE BEST! I am sure he hears this a lot. I highly recommend you book this tour when you visit San Diego or need an international day trip. You will NOT be disappointed. This a very authentic tour and not a tourist trap. Come with an attitude of being one with the locals. When you are with West, you feel you have the key to the city. Come hungry, I repeat come hungry and excited to try tamales and tacos, as you will eat AMAZING food all day (included), you will visit every place you can imagine including the city of Tijuana, local markets, the border wall by the ocean where we saw dolphins, beach towns and the Jesus statue. Food is great. Leadership is literally VIP. We laughed and had a great time under the care of West! Best day ever!

This has to be one of the best tours that I’ve ever been on. West is the ultimate professional and an incredibly kind person. He knows so many of the locals that it makes the whole experience easy and fun. Also BRING YOUR Appetite because this you will eat and eat and eat and the food was outstanding. I HIGHLY recommend West and any of his excursions you will not regret it. I give this a10 out of 5 ⭐️

I didn't like guided tours until I went on a day trip to Mexico with Baja Border Tours! This tour exceeded all my expectations. West and Jose are excellent guides, combining good humor with historical tidbits. During the tour I had the impression that they knew everyone in all of Baja California. This gives you a glimpse of the true Mexican culture, as West takes you to places that a tourist would surely miss on their own! A great recommendation for anyone undecided - go, you won't regret it!

I wish we could give 10 stars. West is truly amazing. He goes above and beyond to make sure you have the best day you could ever have. We have done many great tours on our travels around the world, but none have come close to West's Baja Border Tours. Thank you West, for a truly memorable, fun, informative gastronomical feast of a day; a once in a lifetime experience. Your generosity, knowledge, humour and warmth are incredible.

We had a wonderful time with Baja Border Tours. Our guide, West, was great. It seems like he knows everyone in Baja California. We saw Tijuana, Rosarito and Puerto Nuevo as well as a few things along the way. West made sure we were safe and well fed. Not for one moment did we feel at risk. The Mexican people we encountered were very welcoming and the food was so delicious. By the end I could not eat another bite. If you are interested but apprehensive about going to Mexico and you want to experience the food without having to find the best places yourself I encourage you to go with West at Baja Border Tours. You won't regret it.

Had an awesome day yesterday with West on a custom tour to Ensenada with stops in Tijuana, Rosarita, and Puerto Nuevo. Five stars isn’t enough. LOTS of great food and authentic sightseeing in Baja. Highly, highly recommended.

Hi,
Is it ok for a UK citizen to exit and re enter Mexico with the Baja Border Tour? I have read the link on your website but its slightly confusing to say the least.
Written September 6, 2017
As long as you have a passport you will have no problem.

Was it a hassle getting over the border? About how long did it take to cross the border?
Written June 18, 2017
Generally it takes from 30 minutes to 1 hour to cross the border. We do our best to make the border crossing as quick as possible by crossing back into the US in the evening when traffic isn't as bad and by using the "Ready lane" which is a little faster.
