After crossing the border hundreds of times over the years, I know it can sometimes be a frustrating experience, especially with the unpredictability from day to day. Please read the following and share it with others in your group to lessen the impact of the border crossing.
ENTERING MEXICO
Make sure you have a valid Passport Book or Card. You will be asked to present this before you are allowed to board the bus in Ocean Beach.
We may be asked to disembark on arriving in Mexico to clear customs.
Before the tour, fill-out a Mexican Tourist Card (FMM), also known as a tourist card or tourist “visa”. This will save us precious time on entering Mexico. The form can be found online and should be filled out and printed. There is no charge for a visa if you are traveling in Mexico for less than 7 days. Always use the website below. Avoid scam websites.

RETURNING TO THE UNITED STATES
On arriving at the border, all passengers must disembark with ALL their belongings.
Those with Sentri and Global Entry can proceed to the front of the pedestrian line directly to customs.
I will escort all other passengers to the SDTJ shuttle terminal a few blocks away. All seats will be reserved in advance, but there may be a delay waiting for an available shuttle. Once on the shuttle, we will be dropped off in front of the pedestrian line and then directed to a special bus passenger line.
On the U.S. side, everyone will reboard our bus at a designated parking lot a few blocks from the San Ysidro Transit Station.
Corner of San Ysidro Blvd and Beyer Blvd, San Ysidro, CA 92173
