What are people saying about San Diego

Gail_E, Oct 2026

Exceeded My Expectations

This tour was great! We attended Oct. 7th, 2026, in the care of our intrepid bus driver, Linda, and part time thespian, Archie, after dark at 7pm. While there were No paranormal experiences, to my knowledge, there was a really surprising wealth of history, primarily of the Villa Montezuma House (now museum), and the notorious Gaslamp District, including the Davis-Horton house, which is the oldest surviving structure in downtown! My husband and I spend a lot of time in San Diego, (we lived there for a few years as newlyweds, years ago), and didn't know about these (and other historic buildings and stories). There is very little walking, really, for those who may be concerned about that, and given the very high temperatures we've been experiencing, the minibus was very comfortably airconditioned. Linda, our bus driver, provided water ½ way through our tour. Archie, our guide, was very knowledgeable, personable, friendly, and often, funny, making this trip very enjoyable. For those old enough and interested in San Diego history, this was perfect. (This was no haunted house experience with costumed people jumping out at you with fake chainsaws! If you're looking for that, there are other tours/venues for that).

Crossing Borders: Tijuana Day Trip from San Diego

Cookie_N, Sep 2026

Great experience

The tour was good a lot of walking but good for the exercise and we did get to see a lot of things. The food stock was really good. Lots of live entertainment all around the town. The tequila stop was great as well. Coming across the border was a breeze, and we literally only waited 10 minutes to get back to the US. So overall 9.5 out of 10.

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

Rounette_N, Aug 2026

Great little tour!

This tour was a lot of fun. The gps was fantastic and the narration told some interesting facts. It was a good way to see the city. We did the 2 hour tour and it was about the right time. They said there was some play in the timing and time for us to make stops but we didn’t make any stops and it took us 1:50. And they charge by the minute if you go over, so be careful of the time. Don’t have to rush, but can’t linger either.

San Diego Scenic Tour

Jim was an excellent...

Jim was an excellent guide & he shared a wealth of information about San Diego! He was a good driver & made sure all was safe. I enjoyed this tour & would take it again. I would suggest make the tour longer as the sites are so beautiful you really need more time!

San Diego to Temecula - Wine Country tour plus Old Town Temecula

James_G, Aug 2026

Day Sipping in San Diego

The day goes quickly as you meet new friends, try new wines, and travel roads less traveled. Each winery on this trip was a delight without a moment of disappointment. Be sure to drink more and chat less as we got so caught up in conversation we missed out on a number of tasting opportunities before it was time to go to the next spot! That being said, our host was kind, clear, and kept us all organised. The van was clean and comfortable. The lunch was very good and went well with the wines being served. Very little background on each wine was shared by the tasting room personnel - not usual based upon previous tastings in a different region… but heck, not much of the wine is available out of the area and we were there for the overall experience! A lot of fun for a day trip near San Diego. Highly recommended.

USS Midway Museum Admission: Valid Any Date

Derek_W, Aug 2026

Don’t miss this when in SD

Plan on 3-4 hours. Parking can be limited so you may have to park a block away. Ship is amazing with simulators and exhibits. Upper deck tour is very cool. Simulators are extra, but is very worth it. VR experience not so much. Very rare planes specific to the midway, including president Bush’s war plane.

San Diego: The Most Extensive City & Beach Tour

Karthik_R, Jul 2026

The Perfect San Diego City Tour!

A fantastic way to experience San Diego! The tour was very well organized, comfortable, and punctual, with thoughtfully planned stops at all the major attractions. There was ample time to explore, take photos, and enjoy each location at our own pace. The entire experience was smooth, enjoyable, and exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended for anyone visiting San Diego!

Small-Group San Diego Sunset Sailing Excursion

Travis_J, Jul 2026

Perfect Sunset Cruise!

The sunset cruise was amazing. We did the 3 hour tour and it was well worth it. Henley was an incredible captain. Very knowledgeable and informative. We saw plenty of sea lions and even a couple Navy Seal boats cruising through the harbor. The boat was clean. They even had a fridge to store some of our food. We will definitely sail again on our next visit.

Gaslamp Quarter Food & Drink Tour: Brothels, Bites & Booze

Stephanie_S, Jul 2026

Fun Time in the Gaslamp!

A few friends and I took this tour while visiting San Diego for a history conference on the USS Midway. Ben was our tour guide and he was great! There was just enough history, coupled with tasty treats and downtime to talk with friends and tour mates. I have done a food tour in NYC as well and find them great ways to get to know local spots you other side wouldn’t see. I highly recommend this tour!

Small-Group San Diego Afternoon Sailing Excursion

Sheri_m, Jul 2026

Amazing experience!

This was the best tour we’ve ever booked! Just 2 couples on the private sailboat for 3 full hours on a gorgeous day. Captain Dave was a lot of fun and full of interesting knowledge. We will definitely do this one again and will ask for Captain Dave. It was an amazing experience! Highly recommend!

San Diego City Lights Night Tour

Mark_H, Jul 2026

Take the tour, say hi to Steven for me.

The tour was fun, the tour guide, Steven, was informative and engaging and his music selection was awesome if you like oldies. If I may make one suggestion, bring a jacket. It was 87 degrees during the day but about 60 degrees at night and going over the Coronado bridge with open windows is no joke. It was cold.

Taco Tuesday Hop to Tijuana from San Diego

Sharlene_C, May 2026

Tequila Tasters

You cross the border and meet the guide after you are in Mexico. Once there you take a bus downtown. This tasting did 2 tequila tasting and I believe the other only does one. We got to go to an actual tequila store, and Tabitha introduced us to the scorpion challenge. We also got to go to three different places for tacos which the other tour I believe only goes one place. Which all the tacos were delicious! Overall this was an amazing experience and our tour guide Tabitha was everything we could have asked for. It was our first time in Mexico and we felt so welcome and had such a blast! Before the tour was over she also showed me to a good tattoo shop and gave us tips about places and things to do. Thanks to Tabitha we will definitely be planning future trips to Tijuana.
