Fantastic tour!! - What an amazing tour! We got to hit all the great spots in San Diego in one day with a very knowledgeable tour guide! He was super accommodating had water and snacks and made the trip fun for us! A lot of the locations are super difficult to park at but we didn’t have an issue because he would just drop us off and then we would text to be picked up! Pictures that were taken of us were excellent and in just the right spots! Worth every penny for this private tour because you can tailor it to your specific needs and wants!!

You should think about this tour if you have a teenage kid who normally hate taking pictures with you :-) - Very glad that we took this tour. Had a great and relaxing time. Darren is a fun guide and took a lot of pictures of us at every spot. Makes me smile whenever I look at these pictures. Some hot spots can get crowed during summer, but he knew ways to get most of them.

Best tour I have been on. All the essentials of the San Diego area. - Darren was amazing. He took us to hotel Del which was beautiful. Another highlight was the beach. He was very knowledgeable about San Diego and offered to take a lot of pictures of my girlfriend Catherine and I. He took his time and covered the essential part of San Diego. Would highly recommend. This was hands down much better than a crowded tour bus. The views were amazing.
