More Tour and Travel Advice for the USA and Canada
Please visit www.usa.gov/visitors.shtml to see if the USA requires you to have a visa when traveling on a passport of your nationality.
All travelers seeking admission to the United States under the Visa Wavier Program (VWP – if no visa is required) must present a machine readable passport. A digital photograph printed on the passport photo page is required OR an integrated chip containing information from the data page (e-passport). A digital photograph is on that is printed onto the photo page, not a photo that has been glued, stapled or laminated onto the passport.
Machine readable passports issued or extended after October 26, 2006 are required to be e-passports. VWP travelers with non- compliant passports will need to obtain a new e-passport OR a visa in their passport containing the non-digital passport photo. Visa applications can be obtained by contacting the US consulate.

Unless you’re in the US on a student visa you won’t/shouldn’t have any trouble going to/from Tijuana for the day. The only truly reliable information re: visas for travel are the consulate web sites of the countries you want to visit – so if in doubt, check the consulate web sites.

I am a South African going on the Wild Western tour. I know I need a visa for the US, but do I need a visa for the day in Tijauna?

Traveling on a NZ passport you won’t need a visa or anything else to travel to Tijuana and Mexico on the Wild Western Tour – when you come into the US however you will have to fill out an I-94 immigration form (usually US immigration staple it into your passport) and it’s important that you don’t loose this form.

Cafe lattes, bruchetta, chianti, gnochi, limoncella, baci chocolates, gelati, pizza, it's impossible to not try everything in Italy.
Itter was one of the nicest town's I've ever been in, absolutely gorgeous. It's a sleepy town, but on Contiki you bring your own nightlife. This was one stop I wont forget.
