The Catalina Island private tour was exceptional. I rate this high because of the Tour Guide. She was engaging with a friendly demeanor, ensuring our welcoming at first greeting. She provided informative commentary about local history and culture. She shared interesting facts, stories and personal antidotes to create a dynamic and memorable tour experience. She is a “GEM” …hang on to her ! Please share this with Letty♥️

This was a great way to spend our shore time on Catalina Island. Our guide, Ron, was knowledgeable and engaging throughout. His tour was well organized and covered everything from botany and ecology of the islands to fun tidbits and dirt about famous and infamous residents of the past. Arrangements were simple and excellent communication. Tour length was just right. Definitely recommend.
