IATA-Certified Travel Advisors for the Border Community — Hablamos tu idioma
Tijuana and San Diego are two cities that share more than a border. They share families, daily routines, and now — a travel agency that understands both worlds.
Lobato Tours is an IATA-certified travel agency based in Tijuana, Baja California, with over 21 years of experience organizing cruises, international tours, and group travel for clients on both sides of the border. We are minutes away from San Diego, and we speak your language — in every sense.

Why Choose a Travel Agency in Tijuana?
San Diego residents who cross to Tijuana for travel services aren’t just looking for a better price. They’re looking for personalized attention, honest advice, and an agency that stays with them from the first inquiry to the moment they return home.
At Lobato Tours, you work directly with experienced travel advisors — not automated systems or chatbots. We know the routes, the cruise lines, the documentation requirements for Mexican and American travelers, and the logistics of departing from both San Diego and Tijuana airports and cruise terminals.
