Our guide, Thomas, is a local (born and raised in Orange County). His knowledge of the area is extensive and personal. We enjoyed hearing about his daring experiences growing up, surfing, and working in the OC. Thomas is very personable and we felt safe in his company. During our tour, we visited San Juan Capistrano , Dana Point, Doheny State Beach, Dana Point Harbor, Balboa Island, Huntington Beach, and Huntington Beach Pier. We enjoyed lunch at Duke’s (on our own). Thomas picked us up and returned us to our villa at the end of the tour. We highly recommend Surf City Adventure Tours to anyone seeking a tour of coastal Orange County.

Thomas is TOP NOTCH!! I recently went on the Coastal Adventure tour with a friend. We both are travel agents and was in Anaheim for a conference. We booked this tour a couple of days out and the van picked us right up at the Desert Palms Resort. We first did a drive by up San Juan Capistrano, then on to Dana Point, Laguna, and Huntington Beach. We had lunch (on our own) at Duke's and it was just a lovely day that I will long remember. Beautiful homes, beautiful views everywhere you turn. Felt extremely safe in the van - he's a great driver. Van was very clean. We covered a l ot of beachline but still didn't feel rushed at all. I would highly recommend this tour and I hope to sell it to my clients as well. Thanks, Thomas for a wonderful day!! Lynn Reed - your Kentucky friend.

The many stories of how each city has changed through the years from a resident of OC was priceless.

Great day had in the sun with Thomas. Friendly service and great knowledge of the coastal areas. We particularly enjoyed the ‘boating’ experience! We would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to cover a lot of ground in one day.

This tour provided a delightful overview of the area. In addition to seeing the highlights, there were also some lovely opportunities to walk/hike at a few of the vistas. My friend and I especially appreciated Thomas' very personable and professional demeanor, along with his flexibility depending on feedback we provided. He also made the tour extra fun with his great stories. Thomas was particularly gracious to still provide the tour that day even though it was just the two of us. (The night before our tour, another party needed to reschedule their date.) We are both grateful to Thomas and highly recommend his tour!

Thomas is a great tour guide and very knowledgeable of the areas of the tour. Pickup and dropoff was prompt from the hotel, the bus was clean and tidy. My 12 year old daughter enjoyed the experience as Thomas made sure all guest were entertained and kept the info relative to both young and old(er) audiences. I would highly recommend this tour to my friends and family if they were visiting the area.
