I thought it was near the L.A. Cetto winery... I don't mind paying extra for a bus or taxi! That beer is the bomb!

Best of luck,

Yes, just let me know and we can do it.

I took one look at that plate of food and 'knew' it was the Cafe La Especial.
Spent a whole bunch of time downstairs with the TJ motor cops and my guys from San Diego............Really good memory's.

It's pretty far on foot, but if you want to do the Tijuana Brewery, I believe it's $3 dollars they charge for the tour plus whatever the roundtrip
costs on taxi or bus.

I have done the tour twice... the second time with you. I am more interested in some time in the Tavern, upstairs where we spent part of the time at
Viva baja Cactus, last November.
Maybe if I could find Tijuana Beer around here, I would get my fix??? I was served at the Mariscos Ensenada restaurant in Oceanside for a short
time...

What a wonderful idea!
TJ is a wonderful, historic city with much to see and do. Unfortunately it has also developed a very bad reputation that has generated a lot of fear
in Nortes. What a wonderful way to allay those fears and introduce people to your wonderful city.
I had a friend who offered tours of San Francisco for people who were paranoid of cities. He made a go of it.
My best to you and to your enterprise. You would be a pleasure to spend a day with.
We will certainly consider this alternative. I miss TJ, the old bull ring and Fonton. I recall some memorable meals in that town.

Hi Fernando, we met at the Book Signing. Chuck and Chris
I took a good look at your website, now being interested in your tour, how much is the cost per person and how many people do you tour at once?
Thanks |
Ok, thanks, it's fixed now and the clickers or buttons for tour details and reservations are now in the center top.

Fernando... I'm so pleased to read of this new business venture of yours, and I wish you all the best.
For the rest of you, I want to most highly recommend the tour guide service of our friend, fdt. Most of you know that Fernando was
most helpful during my recent emergency trip home by delivering me from the Tijuana bus station to the San Diego airport. What you don't know is that
due to some business, we took a small tour of the city before leaving. This was by auto and necessarily brief, but I saw a lovely bit of a city I
never thought I'd like... and I learned some history, was introduced to a new food (those yummy pink candy coated peanuts... what were they called
again, Fernando?), and was overall entertained by excellent conversation with my host.
If I could walk for 6 hours, I'd gladly sign up for a real tour right now! (perhaps we can arrange a taxi tour for the likes of me?) So all you
friendly Nomads, make plans now to join Fernando in a fun adventure.

Yes, The bus terminal by the border would be a good starting point and I think it's great that people from Ensenada (mostly americans) would be
interested in a tour like this, I know that some people from Rosarito (americans) showed and interest in the past of joining a Tijuana Guided Tour,
since they did'nt know Tijuana at all.

Maybe I'll have to give FDT another chance and go on his tour.

Thanks for your comments Natalie Ann, as for the candies they are called "cacahuates garapiñados", I love them, they are peanuts with a hard sugar
coating and usualy colored red and we can find those and other mexican candy items at the Mercado el Popo wich is one of the tour highlights

Don't worry, it's not a marathon  , Avenida Revolucion is only 11 blocks plus the
walk across the bridge, most of the time is pretty relaxed with all the stops we make at the historical landmarks, lunch and wine tasting, and
remember the return trip is on tour bus.
