We saw humpback whales
We saw three humpback whales. One that was alone and a mother with her calf. We also saw sea lions and common dolphins. It was exciting to see a whale out in the ocean. They had a very knowledgeable person on board that gave facts about the common dolphins, sea lions, and the whales. I felt the captain of the ship kept the boat a respectable distance from the animals. We all enjoyed it.

Worth every cent!
Worth the price and super convenient to get around the various sites of the city. I would absolutely do it again. Parking at Little Italy or the gas lamp quarter is super expensive, so, being able to just hop on and off a trolley to grab lunch and do some shopping was way more convenient. If you rented a car, I would recommend starting in old town because parking is free and the Mexican food there is amazing.

My personal food tour and Ferry to Coronado Island with Maria aka MM tours
My girlfriend was coming to visit her son and new grandchild. I was so excited when she invited me to come with her to San Diego, CA. It was also her birthday and what better way to celebrate her birthday than with her grandchild. I decided to check out the different excursions they have to offer while in San Diego. I chose the San Diego walking food tour and Ferry to Coranado Island. I'm warning you don't eat because you will not be able to enjoy all the delicious food you'll partake. All the food was included in the price. Maria owner of MM Tours was our tour guide and she didn't disappoint she was very informative about old and new San Diego. Maria kept us on our toes and she really showed us a good time. Maria is so funny and and down to earth with an awesome and bubly personality. And we all fell in Iove with Coranado Island. There is a beautiful boutique called Miss Match Boutique make sure you take a look inside. The Fish Market was our first stop on our food tour. Then we took a ferry over to Coronado Island where we enjoyed delicious authentic Greek cuisine. We took the 2nd ferry back to Seaport Village. We walked off most of the food and made some space in our stomachs. Our 3rd food stop was Crack Taco Shop. I enjoyed a pork al pastor taco. It was banging my girlfriend Lele the birthday girl had the Bahia grilled shrimp taco. The food was very flavorful and filling. Maria took us to our 4th food stop Seaport Fudge Factory we enjoyed our choice of dessert. I decided to try the Vegan dole soft serve peach. It was so refreshing and my girlfriend Lele the birthday girl had the vanilla bean cheesecake. The next time you take a trip to San Diego take the food tour with Maria aka MM Tours. You will have a wonderful time.

BLUE Whales are Real!!
This adventure DID NOR DISAPPOINT!!
I’ve been whale watching before but here in San Diego this one must’ve been setup by Mother Nature her self!! From Humpbacks to Fins, to BLUE WHALES!!! Yes you will get a chance to catch a blue whale or two (mother can calf) without watching NatGeo. Our captain Alyssa gave us the best experience even. She was very knowledgeable of the marine wildlife, and knew exactly how to navigate to their feeding ground. The closest I’ve ever been to whales and the Blue whale IS as big as they say. Offshore Blue Adventures boats are the perfect size to handle the ocean and to get as close as possible. I’m a Texas native and will definitely be coming back again for this experience.

Paul Anthony is the best!!
Paul Anthony was the BEST!! We had a drive from Coronado and he filled it with great info on the areas we went through and the history of San Diego. He was fun, engaging and took pics fir us! 5 Stars for him. 🌟
The wineries were beautiful with great views. The charcuterie at one and pizza with home made breadsticks at the other were wonderful.

10/10 would recommend
It was an amazing experience for a solo traveler! Was able to walk from the airport to the meeting spot, instructions were very clear on where to meet. Now being out on the water. Incredible. Our guide was very knowledgeable. When we found the whales he kept up with them from a respectable distance. The entire encounter was wonderful.

Beautiful boat & captain
Jason was an amazing captain. We wanted a peaceful ride and the experience did not disappoint. It was a beautiful day with just enough wind, a beautiful boat, a knowledgeable captain, good friends, and good music made for an unforgettable experience. Would do it again!

Amazing
The sailing was great. We’d saw a big aircraft carrier. I’d worked in a cruise ship 23 years ago
Out if Miami, a the Rotterdam was over here in port , it was unbelievable seeing her again a yelling at the crew I’d was in that ship 23 years ago hearing the people cheered .

First Gondola Ride
Our first gondola ride was a beautiful experience. It began just after sunset. It was quiet and peaceful. The water was so smooth, just like velvet. Some of the houses already had their Christmas lights up. Beautiful! Our gondolier was highly skilled. The water barely rippled as he turned the gondola around.

Awesome experience!
Champagne, brunch, buffet, cruise. Four amazing things put in one? COUNT ME IN. I will be back next time I’m in San Diego.
I will say the bagels at the seafood station were stale and the table cloth at our table was a little dirty upon arrival but other than that the food and experience was great!

Best excursion ever!
It was a perfect trip from start to finish. Captain Liz was very friendly and made us feel very welcome on her sailing boat. We were able to play our music from her speakers.. The trip was beautiful and it was a great way to end our day. I would highly recommend this excursion.

You should think about this tour if you have a teenage kid who normally hate taking pictures with you :-)
Very glad that we took this tour. Had a great and relaxing time. Darren is a fun guide and took a lot of pictures of us at every spot. Makes me smile whenever I look at these pictures. Some hot spots can get crowed during summer, but he knew ways to get most of them.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Whether you leave from Mission Bay or the San Diego Harbor, in a schooner or an amphibious vehicle, there are plenty of San Diego cruises that'll put you out on the water and under the Southern California sun. Have dinner, cocktails, and watch the sunset. Cruise through the harbor looking at the Navy ships and the San Diego skyline. Or, spend time in Mission Bay spotting sea lions, sea birds, and palm trees with the Pacific Ocean in the background.
