We had an exceptional experience on the Tijuana Free Tour: History, Culture and Gastronomy with Ricardo. What was meant to be a 2.5-hour tour turned into nearly four hours, purely because we were all so engaged and enjoying ourselves. Ricardo was incredibly generous with his time, knowledge, and energy.
He has a rare ability to weave history, architecture, food, and personal stories into something that feels alive rather than academic. We walked away with a real understanding of Tijuana’s evolution, its creative pulse, and the pride locals feel for their city. The gastronomic insights alone were worth the walk, but what truly set the tour apart was Ricardo’s warmth and intuition. He reads the group beautifully and adapts in a way that makes everything feel personal.
By the end, it felt less like a tour and more like being shown around by a friend who genuinely loves his city and wants you to love it too. If you want context, culture, and heart, this tour delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended.
