Julia was an exceptional tourist guide, engaging, knowledgable and so much fun! She answered many questions with enthusiasm and made the experience one to remember. It was the highlight of our time in San Diego.

Amy was a JOY-A as our guide through La Jolla!

Monica_G, May 2025
Amy rocked this tour! She was an incredible guide. So insightful! She answered 10000 questions and is a true San Diego-an (by way of Texas lol). We adored her and highly recommend this tour!

Response from Host, May 2025

Dear Monica_G, Thank you so much for this absolutely delightful review! Your enthusiasm is contagious, and I love the clever play on words with "JOY-A" - that perfectly captures Amy's spirit! She will be thrilled to read this. Amy truly is incredible, and I'm so proud that her insights and knowledge made such an impact on your La Jolla experience. She's become such a true San Diegan over the years (even if she started in Texas!), and her passion for sharing our beautiful coastal community really shows. The fact that she patiently answered your "10000 questions" with such enthusiasm is exactly what makes her so special. Your recommendation means everything to us, and we would absolutely love to welcome you back for another adventure! If you're ever interested in exploring more destinations, please know that we also have an office in Las Vegas, so we can help you discover even more amazing experiences beyond San Diego. Thank you again for choosing Another Side Tours and for bringing such joy to your review! Warm regards, Kenneth President & CEO Another Side Tours
