What are people saying about San Diego

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.

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: 3 Hour Whale Watch Cruise with Legacy Whale Watch

Lynn_S, Oct 2026

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 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 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, Sep 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, Sep 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, Sep 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, Sep 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.
