What a day! Tijuana is a great experience in itself, Carlos only made the day top notch! Been on tours all over the world and can hands down say Carlos is the best guide I've had! Tequila tasting was brilliant, knew the crowd and took us to a great bar at the end of the day for some margaritas! The tour had both Spanish speakers and English, he made sure both language speakers felt included at all times. Would recommend the tour 100%, if I ever find myself near by again I’d book it again!

We would like to thank our tour guide Magda for a most lovely evening in Little Italy. Not only were our food choices incredible, but we learned a lot about the city and the area and have a greater appreciation for San Diego than when we started! Thank you for an awesome evening Magda!!
