Fantastic tour! Dudley our guide has live on the island for decades and really knows the history and current events on the island. It was an extremely interesting and humorous tour. I highly recommend.

Amazing two hour private golf cart tour all over Catalina island. The guide is a native and was very informative. You will not miss any of the important landmarks or beautiful viewing spots on this tour. Ask for Dudley and you will have the best tour! Ask for a recommendation of where to eat on the island. He will tell you where the locals go. Very detailed communication from the tour operator prior to tour. Very responsive to questions. Ensure you book the Catalina Express Ferry to the island in advance. They sell out daily.

Stress free, relaxing tour and history of the island. We loved the private experience and having a tour guide so we could ask questions. She took us to all the best viewpoints as well.

Our guide, Letti was very personable and informed having lived on the island nearly 40 years. It was great to get a local‘s take on the tour, and to see and learn things we would unlikely to have experienced on our own.

Dudley our guide has lived on the islands nearly 70 years! He knew all the places, history, lifestyle and was very friendly and informed and gave us the best tour of a place we have wanted to go to for many years. What a treasure, the island and the escort.

We had the most informative time with Liddie, she was like being with a family member. She took us everywhere and gave us so much information all with warm, loving kindness. Would definitely recommend.

Our tour guide Art was awesome. He’s lived on the island his whole life and we learned so much about its history. The tour was 2 hours of beautiful views, cool places to get a drink or snacks, and areas of the island that the locals know. The tour gave us a wonderful appreciation of the area we will definitely come back.
