I’ve heard about San Carlos Bay and Guaymas for years, but never had the opportunity to go before. So glad to have found Borderlandia and our expert guide, Alex La Pierre. The natural beauty of the bay and its surroundings and the wonderful seafood were exactly what I was hoping for. And Alex’s historical expertise added context and depth that I greatly appreciated. The amount of time and effort he puts into tailoring the experience and incorporating the local community makes each trip unique, and avoids impersonal, exploitative tourism. He and his family have created a gem of a tour company, and I hope to be a “repeat offender “ many times in the years to come!

It was a very pleasant and educational experience. Enjoyed it immensely.

There were fourteen of us; it is noteworthy seven have previously traveled with Borderlandia and chose to travel with Alex a second or third time. Alex is flexible and knowledgeable and has a way to make history come alive. There are a wide variety of tours available. Our driver was great, the hotel modern and quite high tech and the group was so much fun! This was my first Borderlandia Tour and I plan on doing another in the spring.

This is my second tour with Borderlandia. (Definitely not my last). Alex is incredibly knowledgeable about the history and the current situation between Mexico and the US. Please, do yourself a favor and go on one of these tours. The food was incredible too.

Our day tour to Magdalena on April 10 was terrific. The arrangements, sites, history, food, etc. were all outstanding. Five of five stars. Thanks Alex and will see you on another tour. Highly recommended.
