As first time visitors to Mexico - and reading about the long queues for cars to cross the border - this walking tour and introduction to the real Tijuana was perfect. Xavier, our guide, met us at the US side of the border and we walked over to Mexico in about 15 minutes. Xavier is clearly passionate about his country and knowledgeable about the history and culture of Tijuana. We would not have seen and learned so much if we had gone independently. Javier took us to open and indoor markets, some pasajes which are being rejuvenated with interesting shops, bars and coffee houses and to the museum and he pointed out things of interest throughout the day. We sampled local food, ice-cream, tequilas and craft beers. Javier constantly checked on us and what we wanted from the trip, answered all our questions and he paced the day very well. To end the day, he took us back to the border crossing on a local bus [an interesting experience in itself!] and he was able to point out other sights of interest in this vibrant city. We would highly recommend this tour company and Javier as a kind, knowledgeable and accommodating guide.
