What makes this tour different is how much of Tijuana you actually get to experience. While many tours focus only on walking a small section of downtown, this experience is designed to take you beyond what’s reachable on foot. We combine walking with driving, allowing access to key locations that most tours simply don’t include.
The itinerary was created by locals who understand the city’s flow and know how to move through it efficiently. This approach connects cultural landmarks, food stops, markets, and scenic locations that are often skipped by standard walking tours. Instead of following routes popularized by mass tourism or social media, the focus is on places with real local relevance—spots people in Tijuana actually visit.
The result is a more complete, relaxed, and authentic experience that shows a broader side of the city without feeling rushed or repetitive.
