This isn't a cheesy jump-scare walk — it's real San Diego true crime and history with genuine chills. A local storyteller guides a small group by lamplight through the lawless Stingaree: the murders, vice, and police corruption that ran the Gaslamp Quarter's red-light district, then the hauntings left behind — the Horton Grand's infamous Room 309, the Davis-Horton House and its 200 hidden urns, the Balboa Theatre's haunted basement, and a speakeasy that was once the city morgue. Every story is tied to verifiable local history, with fresh anecdotes between each stop, a spine-tingling climax at the oldest building downtown, and a finale beneath the iconic neon Gaslamp sign. Atmospheric, gripping, and unforgettable after dark.

San Diego Gaslamp Quarter History Walking Tour

Step beneath the rooftop bars of downtown San Diego and into the rowdiest chapter of the city's past. This small-group Gaslamp Quarter history walk is led by a local storyteller who brings the notorious "Stingaree" red-light district back to life — from Wyatt Earp's gambling halls and the saloon where he ran his Oyster Bar, to madam Ida Bailey's scandalous Canary Cottage and the dramatic 1912 raid that shut it all down. You'll see the Gaslamp's best Victorian landmarks — the Louis Bank of Commerce, the 1882 Yuma Building, the Horton Grand Hotel where Earp lived, and the oldest house downtown — plus a photo stop at the iconic neon Gaslamp archway. With a relaxed pace, fresh anecdotes between every stop, and a loop that ends right where you began, it's the most entertaining way to experience historic San Diego.

2 Hour Sailing Cruise on Lake Tahoe

Christopher_D, Jun 2026

Best sailing experience on Lake Tahoe

This sailing experience was so worth it! The crew was awesome and very knowledgeable; they took us out pretty far and provided us with cold drinks and info about the lake, surrounding mountains and gave us tips on places to check out. Would definitely do this again!

Clear Kayak Tour of Sand Harbor's Crystal Clear Waters

Chad_B, Jun 2026

Just a really great trip!...

Just a really great trip! We enjoyed it! It wasn’t over the top but it was relaxing and enjoyable to get out on the water. Daniel, our guide was really kind and helpful. He was knowledgeable about the lake and did a really good job of keeping the trip enjoyable.

Napa Valley Wine Trolley Classic Tour

Christine_W, Jun 2026

Perfect day in Napa!

We had a fantastic time on the Napa Trolley excursion! Paul was an outstanding tour guide—funny, knowledgeable, and full of great recommendations. We visited four wonderful wineries, each with its own unique charm, and the day was perfectly organized from start to finish. One of the highlights was getting to know the other riders. We made some great new friends and shared lots of laughs along the way. Paul’s humor and local insights made the experience even more enjoyable, and his dinner recommendations were spot on. This excursion was absolutely worth the price and one of the highlights of our Napa trip. If you’re looking for a fun, relaxing way to experience Napa wine country, I highly recommend the Napa Trolley!

The tour was awesome, as were the tour operators. They were friendly and professional. I paid extra for the picture package to have photos taken of me while I was parasailing. It was well worth it. The pictures came out great! I'd highly recommend this tour.

Guided Whale Watching Tour from Long Beach

Kylie_D, Jun 2026

Amazing dolphin sightings...

Amazing dolphin sightings -- three different pods, including some babies even! Lots of dolphins jumping our wake, too cool. Fantastic info from the guides on the boat. Price was more than fair, although boat was pretty crowded and free-for-all seating is kind of a pain. I'd pay extra to have assigned seating.

San Diego Whale/Dolphin Watching Cruise Aboard Luxury Vessel

Erin_C, Jun 2026

This was the best whale...

This was the best whale and dolphin watching cruise I have ever been on! Boat ride was so smooth and comfortable. The captain, marine biologist and first mate were so knowledgeable and friendly. We felt safe, educated and relaxed the whole time. It didn’t hurt that we saw 3 whales, countless dolphins and many seals! My mom and sister also had a fantastic time! This boat ride really surpassed our expectations! I would recommend this company to anyone and encourage anyone to take this trip when in San Diego! These guys are the best!!

La Jolla Sea Caves Kayak Tour For Two (Tandem Kayak)

Kristen_F, Jun 2026

A must do in La Jolla!

This tour was the highlight of our trip! Our guides Sabrina and Brian were very nice and so much fun. It was the perfect amount of time to spend on the water. I would definitely do it again. But only with this tour company. There was another tour company on the water the same time as ours and one of their guides was quite rude to his group.

Wine Country Join-in Flight

Ruth_M, Jun 2026

I had to give a rating to...

I had to give a rating to be able to leave a review. The 5 stars is misleading because the flight was cancelled twice— once for rain and the second day it was too windy. However, we were informed in a timely manner and the money was quickly refunded, so in that sense it does get a good review. Next time I am in the area I will book for earlier in my trip so that if the weather doesn’t cooperate I can hopefully still manage to fit it in

Whale Watching Tour From Monterey

Laurie_B, May 2026

Fantastic!! Can’t wait to go again!!

Fantastic tour from beginning to end. Very knowledgable naturalist and ship hands. They made it very fun and educational. They did an amazing job of keeping us close enough to the whales to really appreciate them and get good photos, without causing them any distress! Can’t wait to do another tour with them!

Monterey Whale Watching Tour

Jennifer_H, May 2026

Whale watching win

We saw lots of sea aminals. Whales, 2 kinds of them including a mom and baby. A couple of them were jumping out of the water. Also dolphins, jelly fish, seals, this cool blue algie, and lots of birds. Would have liked a speaker up front so we could here the audio a little better. Otherwise we all had a great time.

Yellow Semi-Submarine Tour of Catalina Island From Avalon

MeiFang_T, Apr 2026

Lots of Fish

Very fun experience to get to see all the fish that inhabit the island’s waters if you don’t know how to swim or don’t want to get into the cold waters surrounding Catalina Island. You have the option to purchase fish food which will allow a bunch of fish to swarm by your particular window. The guide will explain the various fish you can see in the waters and some fun facts so there’s some educational value as well to the experience. A little note is that you enter and exit the semi-sub via a set of steep stairs so elderly and kids may need someone physically strong to ensure their safety.
