Great way to see the top Orange County beaches! The guide provided some wonderful tips to make the most of our experience! Lovely tour highly recommend!

A perfectly planned and executed day. Our driver Brooke actually messaged us to say she would be about 5 minutes later than originally planned, such was the attention to detail! We visited Laguna Beach for around 40 minutes-just a photo stop- then on to Balboa Fun Zone for 3 hours. Brooke recommended the harbour trip and advised us how to get a discount on the tickets. She advised us on places to eat and even which restrooms were the nicest to use! She then picked us up and on to Huntington Beach for another 3 hours, again with recommendations on where to eat and things to do. On the drive between stops she was a wealth of local information. We will definitely recommend ATC to anyone

Wonderful tours. Gives enough time at each stop to enjoy the area. Our guide was nice and knowledgeable.

Vicky_T

With young children we had adequate time to explore each beach and enjoy time with our family. The small size of the group was nice and the van was comfortable.

Rated as #1 as the trip was cancelled at the last minute due to low registration. However, the tour company graciously offered us spots on a Hollywood Tour at a reduced rate. Great tour with Tom our driver who was fantastic, The best tour driver ever! I believe we lucked out with our cancellation although it was a bit frustrating until Brooke snd Tom came to our rescue.

We really enjoyed this day. Plenty of time at each beach . We took the boat ride at Newport Beach and saw some movie stars homes, sea lions, and parts where movies were made. Beautiful beaches at all three stops. Tom was our tour guide and knew so much besides stopping to take pictures of everyone at scenic spots. Highly recommend.
