The tour was fun, informative, and flexible! It was the right mix of sight seeing, driving, and walking around!

Easy inexpensive way to see the sights of San Diego

Published on Jul, 2024

We really enjoyed this tour. It’s well organized and gives a lot of details without being boring for the kids. Highly recommend!

Great views and great info!

Published on Jun, 2024

I’ve taken several of these tours and I was so glad to see that they also had one of the bluffs. The views were incredible. The information was interesting. Definitely check out this tour if you are in the area.

It was a first time using the app for a tour. The download and play was simple and greatly added to our trip. I can't imagine going on another trip without this. Well done!

Amazing and Fun California Southern Coast

Published on Apr, 2024

My favorites were the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve and La Jolla Cove. The Torrey Pines walking trails and the views are amazing. I could spend all day at La Jolla Cove watching the Seals on the rocks and the local fare was excellent. My most favorite was following the guided app and knowing what to look for upcoming during the drive.
