Description

See the best of Baja Mexico on this grand sightseeing day trip from San Diego. Also known as the "Baja Lobster Tour", the Grand Baja Tour visits Puerto Nuevo Lobster Village, Rosarito Beach, and more.

Your adventure begins as you cross into Mexico and visit Tijuana, the fourth largest city in Mexico.

Enjoy a cultural sightseeing tour of the area with stops at the Cultural Center, Tijuana Bullring, Tijuana Zoo, Tijuana Tower, followed by time for some shopping along Avenida Revolution. This street is the main shopping Mecca south of the border with more than 400 different types of shops that will entice you to bargain like the locals for your Mexican curios.

Then it's off to Puerto Nuevo Lobster Village, once a small fisherman town, it is now home to over 50 different restaurants offering the specialty of the house, Puerto Nuevo style lobster meals. This lobster meal is a Pacific Ocean Lobster deep fried to perfection, served with unlimited rice, beans, and a welcome Margarita!

After lunch (included) enjoy some time to relax along the Pacific Ocean as you're serenaded by Mariachis.

After this memorable experience, you will journey to Rosarito Beach—the Mexican Hollywood of the 1920's. Today it is a blooming beachside community with endless opportunities for beachgoing, horseback riding, and ATV riding along the sandy beaches.

After Rosarito Beach, travel back to San Diego on a scenic road.

"Do not book - Radical Storage Santa Fe Station, San Diego"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed April 04, 2025 NEW
Wished that I was able to find the other reviewer's review here before booking, but Radical Storage only reveal the contact information AFTER you have booked and paid. Upon arriving at the Santa Fe Amtrak Station in San Diego and also walked over to the Museum of Contemporary Art I called the phone number provided by Radical Storage and spoke with Alfonso from Five Star Tours, but he denied having anything to do with this storage listing and instead offered me charter bus tours, even though the confirmation email clearly listed him as the point of contact. Take down the listing please, it's frustrating for anyone having to deal with this nonsense. To their credit, Radical Storage initiated a refund right away after I emailed them. However, they didn’t follow up on my request to have the listing removed. So if you’re reading this, please staying away. There’s nothing worse than disembarking from a cruise, walking over with your kids, parents, and a ton of luggage only to find out the storage doesn’t exist. If you’re looking for nearby storage, there’s a UPS Store on Broadway just up the block. They have a secure room for storing luggage, and the staff there are incredibly helpful.

"Awesome private day trip to Tijuana with Five Star Tours"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed April 02, 2025 NEW
Five Star Tours is awesome. We arranged to have a 12 passenger van (12 would be a tight squeeze) for 11 of us. Al picked us up in La Jolla at our hotel, drove us across the border into Tijuana, took us to multiple places we wanted to go, including Mercado Hidalgo, Revolucion and some other places. We asked Al about going to a place for straw hats. Al took us to a store that had better quality hats and it was a hit. After 6 hours in Tijuana, using the fast pass, we got back across the border in under 30 minutes. Well worth paying for the fast pass. Then back to the hotel. Al was awesome as he knows Tijuana well and got through traffic with no problem. He was very flexible with our wants and we never worried about our safety. If you want to go to Tijuana for a day trip and do it the easy way, Al and Five Star Tours is well worth it.

Reviewed January 01, 2025
We would highly recommend this tour. We had the best tour guide and driver Al!!! He was courteous, knowledgeable, excellent driver and professional. We had delicious food fish tacos and lobster. Selection of tacos stand and restaurant was perfect. On the way back from the tour Monique our agent had suggested to buy the fast pass, and it took us less than 30 minutes to cross the border from Mexico to US. We highly recommend Five Star Tours!!!!

"Fun Adventure"

Reviewed December 27, 2024
We had a good time on a private tour of Tijuana, Rosarito, and Puerto Nuevo. Alfonso, our guide was very friendly and helpful. We wanted to go to Caesar’s the birthplace of the Ceasar salad and it was a highlight of our trip. We hadn’t been across the border in a long time and it was nice to just relax and see the sights. Thanks again!
