  The lovely Audra was a wealth of information. As a long-time resident, her insight was perfect. She took the time to get to know what we were interested in and tailored the tour especially for us. Was a great first thing to do on the island!

• Great site seeing experience

  Dudley was a fantastic guide. A local who grew up in Avalon, he shared a ton of interesting facts and tidbits about the history of the island.

• Definitely Recommend!

  What a wonderful experience! Dudley was incredibly patient, especially since our ship’s tender boat left a bit later than expected. We learned so much about the island — its history, culture, and what’s happening there today. We had lots of questions and he answered them all with the kind of insight only a true local could provide. We visited Catalina Island last year and rented our own golf cart, following the map provided. This tour, however, was so much better — it gave us the chance to ask questions and really understand what we were looking at. We highly recommend Catalina Tour Guides, and if you ask for Dudley, you won’t be disappointed. He was definitely the highlight of our trip to Catalina Island!

• Great refresher course for an ole salt and a must for first timers

  I had first taken this tour over 30 years ago but I was with my best friend for their first visit to the island. I knew that the tour would point out the many highlights of Avalon but forgot the colorful historical background. Letty, our guide, was outstanding with her wealth of knowledge and her special take on the island with a born and bred Chicagoan. Enjoyed every minute and worth every penny.

  The tour would Have been better if we could have gone inside the town streets more not just in the electrical power plant and warehouse supplies delivery area along side the ocean Also wanted to see inside the casino building and its architecture but she skipped it Tour was not the full 2 hours as planned since we didn’t stop at the iconic building

  The Golf Cart Tour was the perfect way to experience Catalina Island. Tour Guide Dudley was very knowledgeable and happy to share information about the many venues and sights on the island.
