What are people saying about San Diego

San Diego Harbor Cruise

Britton_S, Oct 2026

North and South Harbors: A Fun and Interesting Tour

I'm from out of town and booked this cruise with a friend who lives here in San Diego. We both found the cruise to be very interesting and informative. There are lots of sights you won't see in the city unless you get out on the water. I was happy to have found an experience with a lot to offer for both of us. We took both loops, the north harbor and the south. Had a gin and tonic at the snack bar also. It was a very worthwhile afternoon.

San Diego Whale Watching & Dolphin Cruise

Eva_M, Oct 2026

Whales & Dolphins

You will see whales and dolphins how many depends on how many happen to be passing by! Awesome experience! I am in the top 10% of people who have seen a whale. I have now seen them on the west coast abd had already seen them in the east cost out of Boston Harbor!

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!

USS Midway Museum Admission: Valid Any Date

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.

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

Janna_P, Oct 2026

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 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.

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.
