Great tour. Joe was a great tour guide. He was friendly and very knowledgeable. Excellent tour with great sites and time to see the sites. Highly recommend this tour
Emily_M, Apr 2022
I am so thankful that I decided to jump on this tour last minute; from the very start Joseph, the tour guide was accommodating, kind, and personable. He reached out to me personally via text to confirm drop
off/pick up, which is a detail I have never seen on other tours through viator🙂. Throughout the tour he made the comfort of each guest his priority, while somehow driving the van safely, and giving us the information we all came on the tour for. It was like watching a wizard 🧙♂️. He had waters, snacks, and checked on everyone’s air comfort level. The tour itself was beautiful, and he dropped us off/picked us up in all of the most convenient areas. Great guide, made us all feel like a great big
‘family’😉. The tour itself is an amazing sampler of all of the fun areas of San Diego, and it gives you an idea of where you might want to spend more time if you’re here for a long visit, and shows you the whole city if you are here for a short one, like me 🥹🥹😩.
Definitely a 5 star tour.
