4.00Don’t expect to get any real beach experience in. You will see the beach but putting your feet in the Pacific may not be a reality. Enjoy the view!
Great customer service!

5.00It was a really fun day! Anaheim tours is a very organized company with great communication to their customers. They text you in advance to verify pick up information.. We went to 3 beaches and there was plenty of time to eat and shop. The whale watching was fun even though we only saw dolphins but they were great to see too! Highly recommend this company!
Great

5.00Cody was very informative and was chatty with our son, lots about Lego! We didn’t see any whales but it was still a lovely trip.
A Great Beach Trip

5.00Tom was an excellent tour guide. He was informative and took our group to Laguna Beach, Newport Beach and whale watching, and Huntington Beach. He left us off in places that we could find our way back to easily and kept us informed. He texted me before pickup from my hotel and dropped me off at my hotel. The only unfortunate part of the trip was we saw no whales!! That was the main reason why I booked this tour. We saw lots of dolphins but no whales.
Wow! Loved this tour!

5.00I would do this tour again and again. Tom was a great guide. He shared so many great suggestions for additional things to do on my trip. I traveled solo for this tour and it was amazing. Laguna beach is stunning. I opted for the whale watch boat ride at Newport Beach. No whales but saw plenty of dolphins and sea lions. The boat ride was wonderful. The others in my tour group opted to stay at the beach and had two hours there. Finally we visited Huntington Beach where I had three whole hours! Plenty of time for me to sit on the beach and watch the waves, grab a bite to eat and shop. I highly recommend this tour.
