Pamela_H

Our tour guide was George and our tour was amazing! We were able to see everything we wanted to see in San Diego in one day and we never felt rushed! I would highly recommend this tour!

Elizabeth_C

The information about the history of San Diego and the places we visited was excellent. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. Despite constant rain that marred our vision as we passed sites on the bus and also was detrimental at our outdoor stops, it was a worthwhile tour. My only complaint is that at least one stop, perhaps the one in Old Town since there are multiple places to eat, should be longer than 45 minutes. I recommend cutting the Mission Beach stop by 15 minutes and add that on to the Old Town stop. We tried to get lunch and had to rush through it to get back to the bus in time.

Lynette_S

My husband and I enjoyed it all. Guide had great history to share! Well-planned w/beach ending. Nice 45-min stops.

Jonathan_B

We have been to San Diego 3 times before. Wish we had done this tour the first time we were here. Learned so much that we didn't know about San Diego. Excellent tour!
