Not to be missed trip to highlights of San Diego. - Jim was our tour guide and he is extremely knowledgeable not only about San Diego but many other locations. That helps him to compare and contrast different places, the pros and cons, and why he so much enjoys living in San Diego area and sharing his experiences. Very enjoyable, and does not take himself seriously which made the time go by much quicker than expected.

SD at its best! - This was such a great tour to introduce you to the city and beautiful surrounding places. Jim was engaging, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. Spend the money on day one of your trip, and you’ll have 1) the lay of the land, 2) lots of recommendations and places to circle back to, and 3) awesome pictures to capture your experience in SD. Highly recommended!

Fantastic San Diego area tour - Our tour guide, Jim Houliston, was fantastic throughout our entire San Diego tour. Jim is very knowledgeable and he shared information about all of our stops during the tour. You will not be disappointed if you take a tour with Jim.

Disappointed - We booked this tour months in advance and only to have them cancel on us. We unfortunately could not rebook due to our limited time in San Diego.
