Traveler Reviews

Went to meeting spot at appointed time, no tour bus showed up. Called to confirm and was told trip was cancelled do to lack of people, again, never notified,

We have taken many tours and this was the BEST! Our guide was very knowledgeable and kept us well in informed of the interesting areas of each place we visited Definitely a 5star rating

We got to see a lot in San Diego in one day. We enjoyed all of the stops and historical information provided by Joe during our tour. Great overview of the city for our teens’ first trip to the West Coast.

Overall great experience! The tour was long but in depth and worth your time. Gives you enough time to get out and look around each area. Perfect air conditioning to come back to after walking around San Diego. Recommend highly!

Took long-term friends from out of town on this trip. Although I live in California my entire life I’ve never known all the information and seen the sites that were given on the tour the tour is fantastic value. I’m gonna take all my family members and out of town guests on the next tour when they come to visit. I highly recommend this tour.
