Great Tour of San Diego - Excellent overview of San Diego and all its neighborhoods. You make several stops so you can walk around, take pictures and enjoy the experience. Our tour guide was Jay and he was very friendly and super knowledgeable. Great way to start your trip especially if you are a first time visitor. Now I have to come back to hit the places I don’t have time for on this trip.

Relaxing boat ride - The crew was excellent, came around offering snacks twice and could help yourself to non-alcoholic drinks. It was a gorgeous day to be out on the water and we saw a lot of dolphins and sea lions closer to shore. We didn’t see a whale, but they said migration was about 2 months behind. They also provide a voucher to return as many times as you are able until you see whales-no expiration date. The seats provided are hard wood so get very hard but you’re free to stand and move about except for leaving & returning at the dock.

TOUR GUIDES NEED TRAINING AND KNOWLEDGE - Our tour guide, Joaquin, was very friendly, but completely unprepared for the task at hand. His knowledge of the city was minimal, at best. He didn't know his way around the city and constantly was looking at his I-phone on his hip for directions while driving, much to the consternation of his passengers. He provided only superficial common knowledge information and no depth of history at all. This was the worst guided tour we have ever experienced. Joaquin was a nice person, but obviously lacked any training or education to conduct this tour. He acknowledged that it was only his second day on the job. It was a terrible experience.
