Private wine tour to Temecula stopping off at a lovely winery in Fallbrook. Monserate Winery began with a desire to preserve the beauty and integrity of Gird Valley. For 56 years, the beautiful 116-acre property was a public golf course, dotted with 100-year-old oaks and towering sycamore trees. After falling on hard times, the golf course closed. We had a vision to revitalize the land and create something incredible that would also enrich the lives of the surrounding community, and thus, Monserate Winery was born. We have been hard at work to bring this vision to life since 2016 and have made a lot of progress. Today, Monserate’s San Diego county wineries boast breathtaking vineyards, tranquil lakes, and spectacular scenery. Akash Winery & Vineyards is a family-owned boutique winery in Temecula, CA, producing 100% estate-grown wines alongside their Dreamville label the modern 20-acre estate is celebrated for its lively, approachable vibe, great vineyard views, and food and music.

What are people saying about San Diego

San Diego Seal Tour

Catherine_H, Oct 2026

We went on The Seal tour...

We went on The Seal tour with Jewels the tour guide and Cameron the driver. They were absolutely amazing. It was one of our most favourite tours we ever went on. So informative and such a great personality. I would recommend this tour to everyone. Thank you for such a great experience.

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

Jessie_W, Oct 2026

Worth the money!

We didn’t get to see any whales, but it was well worth the money! We saw a pod of 100 dolphins, flying fish plus a mola mola fish. Captain and crew were very knowledgeable, helpful and kind. It was a great way to get out on the water and enjoy a few hours of our short trip to San Diego. Plus we got a voucher for half off on our next visit since we did not see a whale 😊🐳

San Diego Hop On Hop Off Trolley Tour

Janet_S, Oct 2026

Great way to experience...

Great way to experience San Diego. Much cheaper than an Uber to each of the stops! Plus you get a mini history lesson and fun stories along the way. My favorite stop was Coronado Island of course! Shout out to one of our drivers (Jack), he was so entertaining- he really loves his job!

San Diego Whale Watching & Dolphin Cruise

CynthiaGail_M, Oct 2026

At the end, two whales!

It is worth it to pay $10 each extra at the ticket booth to have priority boarding. We saw a lot of flying fish, a shark, sea lions and finally a humpback whale as we were returning to the dock. It stayed surfaced and gave a nice show. There was a smaller whale identified afterwards by staff, but not visible to most on the boat. Even if a whale wasn't found, it would have been a nice 3 hours at sea.

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 Harbor Cruise

Leighann_S, Oct 2026

Flagship cruises

This Harbor cruise was more than we even thought it would be! First of all, the narrator was excellent! It was so exciting seeing all the navy ships and boats and that was for an hour and then he took us out to the bay for an hour. I think this is the one of the best things parts of our trip! I would highly recommend this!

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.

City Cruises San Diego: Scenic 90-Minute Narrated Harbor Tour

Lisa_H, Sept 2026

Best boat tour!

Great scenic tour with education combined with a smooth sail to all the harbor brings! San Diego is so beautiful. You get to see all the naval installations, the planes, new and old piers, the seals, and Coronado Island. Best idea for visitors and for the whole family. The captain and other staff were great and super friendly!

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.

USS Midway Museum Admission: Valid Any Date

Debbie_A, Sept 2026

Great day out

Amazing experience, seeing the aircraft of different generations. Very poignant watching battle of midway film, and enjoyed looking at different areas below deck to show what life was like. Radio explanations for each area was really helpful and the trip to the bridge well worth it. The docents were incredibly knowledgeable-thoroughly enjoyed the trip. We were there for 4.5 hours and didn't see everything. If we weren't leaving the next morning we would have gone back.

2-Hour GoCar Tour: Downtown San Diego and Old Town or Beaches

Kathleen_R, Sept 2026

Even for 74 year olds...

So much fun!! We are 2 ladies in our 70s and this was great! We even got lost once and the office talked us through getting back. We rented the jeep buggy since the yellow cars were too low for us. Worked out fine!! I was worried that it would be too much of a repeat from the 5 1/2 hour tour We took yesterday, so we took the scenic route and were not disappointed. Lots of new things to see and hear about. Great experience!!!
