    Offers varying interests at each stop. Convenient to be able to hop on and off. Recommend looking at website map and decide ahead of time where you may want to spend your time. I did the one day pass.

    Everyone we encountered was very friendly and kept the tour upbeat. Liked how on every hop the tour guide mentioned different historical facts about the places we visited. We didn’t get off on too many spots due to time but we will definitely book again.

    Great way to find out about things to do in San Diego and to see the whole city. We only had one day there and are looking forward to go back again when we have time to do things we found out about on this tour.
