The 10 Best City Tours in San Diego, California (CA)

September 22, 2021 Kiesha Cripe

San Diego embodies laid-back California culture, complete with a Boardwalk, surfing communities, and outstanding Mexican food. Breathe in the fresh ocean air at Sunset Cliffs Natural Park, then gobble down a fresh fish taco at a La Jolla seafood joint. The naval aircrafts at the USS Midway Museum will have you standing at attention. A free Sunday concert at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion is the perfect way to unwind after a Saturday night bar-hop in the thumping Gaslamp Quarter.

The GoCars were so much fun! The staff was amazing—very informative and energized! The standard cars are a bit smaller and don’t offer much leg room for taller people...and only having three wheels had me a bit nervous at first, but I got used to it! (: Definitely recommend this as a great experience for couples, friends, or family.

The rich history of the paintings ( murals ) and explaining the meaning of the paintings and the artists was captivating. I was not bored at all. Tadeau ( tour guide) is like a history book except that I don’t have to do the reading. His knowledge about Tijuana, the places visited , the artists, and what the paintings explains is easy to follow and understand. It was a Mother’s Day well spent since I was alone in San Diego and my children couldn’t come, this day trip was their pick.

This tour is unique because I am unique. I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything quite as awesome as flying into San Diego bay at 500 ft. I promise to give you the full VIP treatment. It is my job to do so when I fly corporate aircraft.

Inclusions: If you request to, you may also fly the airplane with my guidance.

Tour confirmed soon after booking and then cancelled last minute. Tried calling and emailing company immediately after booking and then later through Viator to reconfirm booking, but the people who work at this company were MIA. Other companies have the professionalism to contact you before confirming tours. No alternatives given just tough luck
