My wife and I took the Blue line trolley from San Diego to San Ysidro. It was very inexpensive, and very easy! The trolley dropped us off right in front of the border crossing. We changed some money right before we crossed (right next door to McDonalds. We didnāt need to though, everywhere we went was prepared to accept dollars, and could give change in dollars or pesos (they also take cards!) We went through the border, which was much easier, and friendlier than I expected. Once through, we were immediately greeted warmly by Carlos, (who had sent me a photo of himself and a very handy video he made showing how to cross over to Mexico), and the rest of our small tour group (8 in total for our walking tour). Carlos skillfully ushered us around Tijuana, pointing out items of interest and explaining the history of his city. Everywhere we went I noted that the shop owners, and other people held Carlos in high regard. Several times shopkeepers we met along the way told us that we were lucky to be in Carlosās group. I couldnāt have agreed more! Lunch was both fun and so good. The tequilas and beers we sampled were delicious, and Carlosās connections in the city really made me feel welcome and safe. I would give Carlos, and this tour 100 stars if I could! I will be back again some day!
