Testimonial
Back in June 2015, I had the opportunity to explore Tijuana with my ULI group. Urban Land Institute. I never fully understood what Tijuana was all about, or what the city had to offer.
This tour was amazing. We visited the Culinary Art School, Food Garden and Escuela Libre de Arquitectura. All of these wonderful places were destinations that I would not have visited on my own. This tour opened my eyes to a much richer understanding of the urban fabric and young people who are creative innovators and entrepreneurs now living and working in Tijuana.
I highly recommend that you see it for yourself Tijuana feels different.
