What are people saying about San Diego

Worth the time and money!
We enjoyed the experience a lot! I traveled with my sister to San Diego. We started looking for things to do and knew we wanted to do a food tour of some sort. When we saw that we could cross the border into Tijuana for Taco Tuesday we were all for it. The tour was great and included 4 tacos (more if we wanted) and several beverages as we toured the city walking and viewed various landmarks. Our guide, Humberto was very knowledgeable and nice. We enjoyed the tour a lot and it was definitely the highlight of our trip to San Diego. The food and people were great! My only negative is we started late due to others on the tour getting stuck in line when crossing the border into Tijuana. Just know there is a lot of walking so if you have any limitations that prohibit you from a lot of activity this one may not be for you.

I had a really good...
I had a really good experience overall. Our guide, Tadeo, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip feel easy and well organised. He showed us the main landmarks around the city and gave interesting explanations about the history and culture. The tequila tasting was also a highlight and was well done, fun, and not rushed. Overall, it was a great introduction to Tijuana and I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.

Highly recommend!
Jim was a fantastic tour guide! He is very knowledgeable and clearly has a passion for history and facts. He was very entertaining and funny the whole time and he knew the answers to any questions thrown at him and a bunch of random facts about places we were passing by. He was very punctual at all our stops and honorable mention he is also fluent in Spanish and he kept switching languages to make jokes to amuse all members in the car. Very great guy, super nice tour!

I am an aviation...
I am an aviation /military fan. This museum is phenomenal. A lot of interactive activities which gives a good overview of the history of the Midway. The film at the entrance is a must see. There is a small, well-stocked book store in a corner right after the movie. Books are cheaper there than the souvenir store. The POW exhibit is sobering.
The self guided tour is packed with information.
The flight deck display of planes is comprehensive.
The only negative is some of the kiosks didn’t connect with the hearing device. Disappointing.
I spent 5 hrs touring the museum which is typical of me and museums. Don’t let that be a deterrent to your visit.
As a side note, if you visit NOLA you have to, have to go to the WWII museum. So well done.

Wonderful experience with...
Wonderful experience with a very knowledgeable driver who kept us informed of the activities and shared his knowledge of the area. Strolling through old town Temecula was nice and all 3 wineries were excellent. The lunch included was great! Definitely would recommend this excursion.

Amazing Tjuana tour that you cannot miss!!
🚨BOOK THIS TOUR WITHOUT HESITATION 🚨
I went to Tijuana and had an amazing opportunity to be taken on a tour by friendly Mexican tour guide called Tadeo. He took me around the market, the cathedral, a hidden Mexican restaurant tucked downstairs beneath a plaza, tequila tasting spots, and even to the top of a parking structure for one of the best views of the city.
The whole experience felt less like a tour and more like a good friend showing me all the secret places only he knows. I really appreciated his effort, genuine dedication, and passion for what he does.
The experience exceeded all my expectations, and I was honestly amazed. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to experience the real side of Tijuana.

Great Overview of popular San Diego Areas
This is a great way to get an overview of the city and decide where you want to spend more time. Both J and Bini were great guides, who provided entertaining and informative commentary about the neighborhoods we visited. I hopped off in Old Town, Seaport Village (for lunch), Balboa Park and Little Italy (to end the day). Coronado Island is another popular stop to hop-off at.

We had such a great day...
We had such a great day with Paul Anthony! One of our group members wasn't feeling well, and they were so responsive and flexible to help acomodate us. The wine flights were delicious and we learned a lot - both wineries we visited were so beautiful. Highly recommend!

Guadalupe wine tour
It was a fabulous experience. There were only two of us so we were taken in a private car with our driver and our fabulous guide Oscar. We went to three wineries, but we started our day having fish tacos since we knew we were going to be drinking wine. Each winery was different and a small winery not a commercial winery which we really enjoyed. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to take a tour of the wine valley in Mexico.

Mom & Daughter day in Tijuana
A lot of people told me it was a very bad idea to go into Tijuana, especially with my teenage daughter. I am glad I didn’t listen to them because we had a great day with no problems. I am however very glad we did a tour, we would have been lost on our own, and definitely stood out as tourists. We had two guides for this trip. Tabitha met us on the US side, she called to confirm our reservations & took us across the pedestrian crossing. In Mexico, Tadeo met us, got a cab (van) to take us all to the city center and showed us all the sites: buildings, museum, cathedral, markets, etc. He was very knowledgeable and shared interesting information. We also had lunch (YUM) and a tequila tasting (I didn’t do that but others in our group enjoyed it). We had time at the end for souvenir shopping before Tadeo took us back to the line to cross into the US.
Tijuana is like any big city, you should be aware of your surroundings and stay in certain areas, but it is a colorful fun place, and not the dangerous chaos the news might portray. I would definitely recommend going on a tour, and if you are lucky enough to get Tadeo as a guide I promise you’ll have a great experience!

Priceless memory making tour of San Diego
The overview of San Diego was one of our best-ever VIATOR tours
Julia is an excellent guide. She is friendly, helpful, and obviously loves the city. She has an in-depth knowledge of its history, as well as the old and the new parts of San Diego. She had fun behind the scene stories to share. We shopped, ate great food and saw absolutely beautiful spots in and around the city. Our seven hour tour was priceless. We will recommend this tour to friends who plan to visit San Diego.

Enjoyable San Diego in a day tour.
Very comprehensive tour of many places in San Diego. George is a friendly and informative guide and driver. Great stopover places.
Though we been to San Diego several times from Asia and Australia what we saw is new to us which only locals like George will know.
