Great overview and history of San Diego - Lots of good historical information from George and provided on a video screen. Great stops that seemed to highlight the San Diego area. The bus seemed a little patchwork inside, but rides well and we could see the sights easily. The times are the stops we're appropriate and gave us an idea for places we'd like to return for more time.

Good overview of major attractions with time for some exploring on your own - Overall a nice itinerary hitting all the major SD attractions and giving you the time to explore on your own. Not a huge fan of the video presentation that at times drowned out the guide’s narration. If you want to see San Diego in a time crunch, I would definitely recommend

Enjoyed the length of the tour and the areas we were able to cover. Glad we took the tour. - Would have been better had the guide not been driving at the same time as trying to tell us of the sights we passed. He was nice though.

Compare with others before booking - Very broad and many places too see but not comfortable van and driver speaks too quickly and in an impersonal manner
