What are people saying about San Diego

Great guides and great experience
Overall great tour! I would say that people should know its mostly a walking tour once you are downtown Tijuana. We first met up with Andres to get us through the boarder to Mexico. He gave us a lot of great info and was very helpful. He introduced us to our guide Tadeo once we got through the boarder. Tadeo gave us a rundown of the plan for the day and the we took a bus downtown. Once downtown we were shown all of the culturally important spots and the cool niche spots. We were taken to a great spot for tacos and tamales! The shopping was good but not as cheap as expected. I myself would have been fine going over and exploring by myself but my fiance and friends were worried. So I booked a guide. Tadeo made the day great for all of them! Their whole opinion of going to a boarder town changed after this trip to a positive opinion.

Recommend!
Excellent tour. Carlos was fun and super knowledgeable about the city and its history. He was also very sweet accommodating my 5 year old and a stroller. I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s a great tour for young children but it worked out ok. Biggest headache was getting back over the border, long lines and super inefficient border security. Very poorly run but obviously nothing to do with the tour itself. Highly recommend!

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.

A summary of the experience.
1. On the day, Marisol, the lady helped gather all attendees.
2. Marisol guided us how to walk across the border.
3. Once crossed the border, you will meet someone from Border Tour (in Tijuana). My trip was led by Tadeo.
4. Tadeo led us to birria restaurant, then Jal Alai and the nearby stores, had a quesadilla, cathedral. Then, fish taco to end the trip.
5. Tadeo led us to the border and gave advice on the process.
6. Once crossed border and bags checked, toilet trip, I was back to US.

A Great Day!
This was such a great learning experience, and it was fascinating! We speny almost the whole day there and could have easily stayed the entire time they were open. I highly recommend taking to each of the docents in the yellow hats. They have fascinating personal information about their time serving onboard this carrier as well as others. My appreciation of the men and women in our armed services was greatly increased through this experience.

My ghost tour
Great time on this tour, the guide was awesome.This was more a of historical tour than a haunted one. The historical buildings we visited were hella cool. One of our visits did spoke me and my daughter, we just a ghostly feeling as soon as walked in. Again, great historic and ghostly time!

Fantastic sampling of the best of San Diego!
This tour hits a bunch of the major landmarks and gives you a taste for different neighborhoods. I’m surprised by how much we were able to see! Jim was an awesome tour guide- very knowledgeable, personable, and funny! Highly recommend this- especially as a first day activity on vacation so you know where you’d like to spend more time.

Fantastic Mom & Daughter Day Spent at 3 Great Wineries
Took the winery tour with my Sister-in-Law and both our Moms, and we had an absolute blast. We were picked up on time, in a nice vehicle, and Dave was entertaining and friendly from the start. Old Towne Temecula was charming to walk through, and this was followed by 3 fantastic wineries - all very different from one another. We had a delicious plated lunch at the first winery, a smaller place with beautiful views. This was followed by a larger, more popular winery that was fun for walking around and taking pictures. Our last stop offered an amazing view of the sunset. We were treated very well by the staff at all 3 wineries, and Dave was a great tour guide all day long. If you are looking to mix things up during your San Diego stay to see something different, I highly recommend this tour. It was fun, laid back, and safe and effortless thanks to having transportation to and from San Diego.

I had a few hours to...
I had a few hours to spare during my trip to San Diego, and I decided to take advantage of its proximity to Tijuana and take a tour there! I took the trolley from downtown San Diego and Andres was waiting for me outside the McDonalds alongside one other tour member (so we had an intimate two-person tour!). He walked us through to the border area, and explained how the process would be. He met us on the other side once we went through passport control and then he took us to meet his colleauge Tabitha! She took over from the tour and we got on a public bus/taxi to get to downtown Tijuana. We had a great time taking photos, talking about the culture and life in Tijuana, trying Tequila, Cajeta, and delicious tacos! It was the right choice for me to get to experience Tijuana with someone who knows the area. We had some free time to do souvenir shopping, and then Tabitha took us back to the border via public bus/taxi and then we walked across back to the San Diego trolley. I would highly recommend this trip for solo travelers who want to explore Tijuana and get a small taste of Mexico!

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.

Fantastic tour!!
What an amazing tour! We got to hit all the great spots in San Diego in one day with a very knowledgeable tour guide! He was super accommodating had water and snacks and made the trip fun for us! A lot of the locations are super difficult to park at but we didn’t have an issue because he would just drop us off and then we would text to be picked up! Pictures that were taken of us were excellent and in just the right spots! Worth every penny for this private tour because you can tailor it to your specific needs and wants!!
