Cost is TBD once we get the final head count, a rough estimate is about $60 per head. Guests will travel together by Charter Bus to the border, disembark and walk into the immigration facility by foot, get passports stamped, then walk out on the San Diego side and get back on the bus. Once all guests are on the bus, it will transport everyone to Old Town San Diego.
