We did the intermediate tour, the guide made sure that both of us are comfortable & was very accommodating. Nothing was less than promised!!! Certainly recommend this tour.

This was the most unique and memorable part of our San Diego trip! Angelo has very highend vehicles that are not only capable off-road rigs, but kept us comfortable and cool as well. His knowledge about the borderlands area really added a lot to our enjoyment of the trip. We would reccomend this trip to anyone either from or visiting the San Diego area, as there is no other experience in the region quite like this one. Seeing the Borderlands from on top of the mountain will give everyone (even a local) a totally new perspective on the US-Mexico border, San Diego, and Tijuana. The rugged beauty of an entire region is on full display when you can see 45+ miles in every direction. Angelo has scouted routes up and down the Mountain to fit every experience and comfort level. I have 4 wheeled many times, but it was the first time for my wife and kids, and I think they're hooked! We took the advanced trip, and it did not dissappoint in any way. Plenty of technical areas that took experience to properly navigate and provided a real thrill for the whole family. You are making a mistake if you don't book this experience as part of your trip!

I don't even know where to begin. Angelo (guide/owner) was awesome. He was ready to go as soon as we arrived. We hopped into our land cruisers and we were off. Little ride ro the mountain but once there it was on. Awesome communication via radios and pointed out the best views and very informative about the area. We were visiting from NJ and wished we lived here to be able to do this and hang with Angelo more. My wife was hesitant to drive but she did it with the encouragement and precise instructions from Angelo and she loved it. Considering coming back some time to do their 2 day over night camping experience. It was just awesome. Do it. Don't wait. Book now. You won't regret it.
