You’ll drive Vespa’s or Fiat golf-cart type cars through the Tuscan hills and stop for a delicious Italian lunch. Chris did a wonderful job navigating our group with varying skill levels on a cold, rainy day. He shared interesting information along the way and made sure everyone in the group was comfortable.

Make a baby

This was so much fun! Gloria engaged with the group and showed us how to make delicious Gelato. Arla was so funny and made the whole experience a thrilling one. And I can’t forget the assistant. He wrapped up the class with his humor, where my checks were hurting after from laughing so much. All three meshed very well with the group and I would highly recommend.

Lovely experience. The...

Lovely experience. The boat is amazing and was very smooth on the day we went out. We got to see a breaching humpback whale and a pod of four fin whales. They made sure everyone on the boat could see and they took some videos and shared them with us so we could be present and enjoy the experience!!

San Diego Whale/Dolphin Watching Cruise Aboard Luxury Vessel

EhigieYahaya_E, Mar 2026

The best ever whale watching

The was the best experience ever. The boat itself was excellent, handle the waves well, none of the motion sickness, they have special stabilizers, toilets were clean, staff were super knowledgeable, pro and classy. I think one is a marine biologist, full of pertinent facts. We must have spotted over 10 whales, about 5 species and a pod of playful dolphins and other wild life. This was the best ever. Whale watching of a lifetime. 5000 percent recommended. Did I say the boat crew was the absolute best. Would do this again in a heartbeat, such value for money

San Diego Whale Watching Cruise

Jack_H, Mar 2026

Great whale watching experience

We all had a great time. We really enjoed being out on the water and for my grandkids. It was the first time they had seen whales. The lady who did most of the talking was very informative and easy to follow. She made the trip very enjoyable by making sure we knew where to look and when to look.

San Diego Zoo 1-Day Pass: Any Day Ticket

Craig_T, Mar 2026

Everything you’ve heard and more!

The zoo absolutely lives up to expectations! It’s like an amusement park but with beautiful anima exhibits instead of thrill rides. So much to see! If you get tired walking I recommend doing half the zoo, then taking the bus tour around the zoo (totally free) and then hitting the rest. We loved it!

Informative , fun, cold, and smooth ride. The staff was friendly , courteous and funny to be with. We had Reef and Jewels for our tour, amazing pair! Would go again and with a camera this time. Next time I’ll bring a heavier hoodie, we took the 11:30 tour and the weather was pleasant. Jewels helped with pictures and provided excellent customer service along with Reef and their driving made it a wonderful first time experience. Greatly appreciate them.
