Date nights and new adventures can be tough to plan sometimes. We have always loved visiting wine country, tasting its rich history, and enjoying the freedom of the backroads on a motorcycle. For San Diego, what better way to incorporate this idea, than with Brewery Tours around the city! We figured why not give someone else the opportunity to experience all of the things we love in a new way! So, we decided to modify the standard motorcycle sidecar to accommodate two passengers and now we have the world’s first and only tandem sidecars, which is one of the things that makes us so special. Our goal is to give adults of all ages, a unique, fun, and intimate way to experience the city with our knowledgeable drivers. We don’t want to be just another mode of transportation between wineries and breweries. We want to immerse our guests in San Diego's culture, history, and how it became what it is today.

Haunted San Diego: The Only Ghost Tour with Exclusive Entry

Jason_S, Oct 2026

Spooky San Diego!

My wife and I love spooky stuff! Cowboy Pete definitely delivers! He is very knowledgeable about the spooky bits of Sam Diego. The door affords the opportunity to get in and off at different haunted locations all around San Diego, which we both loved! Not only that, it afforded us the ability to take a peek at places we wanted to spend more time at later! If you come to San Diego, carve out a a couple hours, hop on the Ghost Bus and enjoy some ghost stories with Cowboy Pete! Thanks for a great tour!

San Diego Harbor Cruise

Barbara_R, Oct 2026

The departure point was...

The departure point was easy to locate but parking was difficult to find. We took an Uber so as not to have to deal with it. The cruise itself was absolutely delightful, relaxing, beautiful and with an excellent narration We couldn't have had a nicer day. And I've never seen so many naval boats in my life, including the Lincoln that was such a disaster being trapped in Hormuz for 10 months.

USS Midway Museum Admission: Valid Any Date

May_A, Oct 2026

Quite the Experience

This was a great experience. My significant other & I are both retired military (Navy) & were thoroughly engrossed with all the history. The individual audio devices were extremely helpful & much appreciated. We were there 2 hrs & could've easily stayed another 3 (but we had a previous engagement that we needed to be at). If in the area again, we will definitely visit again.

Super fun! After the...

Super fun! After the first few minutes, getting to know the ins and outs of the go kart it was a blast zipping around downtown San Diego. Surprisingly it felt safe and cars were careful to give us plenty of room. The Talking GPS was very informative and helpful making sure we stayed on course. Overall, well worth the money and very fun. .

San Diego: 2.5-3 Hour Whale Watch Cruise with Legacy Whale Watch

Exceptional experience

San Diego native here, so I’ve been on whale watching excursions since elementary school! This one was truly exceptional for the location and parking being so much easier than downtown! The crew was fabulous, very welcoming and accommodating! Michelle, the narrator, was super educational, engaging, and even funny! Plus the pricing is very affordable!

San Diego Whale Watching & Dolphin Cruise

Elizabeth_H, Oct 2026

Memorable family trip!

We saw a whale right from the start! We also saw several types of whales. There were plenty of dolphins swimming around as well. The highlight was seeing the tail in the air! I wasn’t able to catch the photo but the photographer on the boat did! We were a family of four with two boys ages 3 and 5 who all had a blast.

San Diego Zoo 1 Day Pass Any Day Ticket

Lisa_H, Oct 2026

San Diego Zoo is beautiful

What can I say? I've wanted to come to this zoo forever. I love giraffes and koala bears! The zoo layout is perfect. The exhibits are amazing and fun for families. The little school kids were there too and so excited. The bus tour is a must! Explore all the protected wildlife and hear the stories about the plants and how the zoo was formed. The staff there is so friendly and guide you if you want to see specific animals. It's paradise! Getting there was easy and snacks and food vendors as well as stores are right there. Loved it!

San Diego Whale/Dolphin Watching Cruise Aboard Luxury Vessel

Hope_M, Sept 2026

A great ride

Great crew, pleasant ride and happy to share fun facts galore. Saw “hundreds” of dolphins, sea lions, a shark and even a submarine emerge from the water. No whales to no fault of crew. Whales are tricky devils and sometimes hide. the boat was super clean with plenty of room to move about as they don’t book so heavy like other excursions. All in all, great fun.

San Diego Sunset Cruise from Mission Bay

Chris_A, Sept 2026

Service provided as expected. Great experience!

The service was provided exactly as advertised. Staff was friendly and helpful. Good bar for soda, snacks and drinkgs. They kept reggae music to give a bit of a festive vibe. At the right spot and right moment, they turned the boat perfectly to get a great view of the sunset. Highly recommended!

Deluxe Sunset & Day Sail Small Group

Janet_T, Sept 2026

Entertaining sail on a small sailboat

This was a delightful sale on a small sailboat with only 2 other couples. It made for a very relaxed and enjoyable experience - totally unrushed. We sailed all around San Diego Harbour until sunset. Wine, beer were included. The captain was an experienced sailor, personable and fun.
