San Diego Unveiled: Ultimate 7-Hr City & Coastal Adventure
No address available
Price From $219.00 per person
Lowest Price Guarantee
Enjoy an overview of San Diego's top sights and the stunning northern coastline on a full-day tour by a luxury vehicle that includes Coronado, the Embarcadero and Balboa Park. Check out places of interest in the Gaslamp Quarter, where you’ll have free time to purchase lunch and explore at your leisure. Then spend the afternoon in the enclave of La Jolla — the ‘jewel of San Diego’ — where rugged shoreline cliffs charm all travelers, from both near and far. We do require a minimum of 4 people total (solo travelers are welcome to join) to have the tour go out, in the event of us not achieving 4 guests we'll send you out on our shorter version or supply you with another tour of equal value or issue a full refund! If the tour is booked with less than 4 total guests, then we do the 4 Hour version of the tour. This still hits all of the points of interest, although it eliminates the break that we would normally have for lunch. If we do book more than 4 guests the 7 hour tour will be given.

The overview of San Diego was one of our best-ever VIATOR tours Julia is an excellent guide. She is friendly, helpful, and obviously loves the city. She has an in-depth knowledge of its history, as well as the old and the new parts of San Diego. She had fun behind the scene stories to share. We shopped, ate great food and saw absolutely beautiful spots in and around the city. Our seven hour tour was priceless. We will recommend this tour to friends who plan to visit San Diego.

What an amazing tour! Well worth it! Our travel guide Julia knew her stuff and was very open to questions and gave time to take photos and tour some at the stops.

Great way to see an overview of San Diego in a day to get a good sense of the city or even to plan where you wanna go back and go into more detail exploring later on in your trip. She had lots of enthusiasm.

Jorge and Michelle gave an excellent tour of San Diego. I especially liked our stops at La Jolla and Pacific Beach. We walked along the boardwalks and experienced a bit of beautiful beach culture, and saw some seals!

We took the San Diego Highlights Tour. Kenneth, the owner, personally answered all of our questions before we booked. He was such a great help. Jeff picked us up at our hotel in Pacific Beach and drove us downtown. Jeff was so friendly, nice and knowledgable. We were picked up in a Mercedes Mini van which was very comfortable. Our tour consisted of only four guests plus a guide in training plus our fantastic guide who we called Amazing Amy. Amazing Amy was able to answer every question that we had. WOW!!! Plus she made our tour so much fun. We drove around Coronado Island, Stopped at the Hotel Del Coronado, drove through the Gaslamp District, Little Italy, and stopped in Balboa Park. Balboa Park is awesome. There is so much to see. Then we had a 1 hour break for lunch in Old Town. We went to a Mexican restaurant that Amy recommended and had delicious tacos and California burritos. In the afternoon, we drove through La Jolla, stopped to view the Seal Lions and Seals, Drove up to Mount Soledad National Veteran's Memorial and saw stunning panoramic views of San Diego. Amazing Amy made this tour so enjoyable and fun. She made us feel like we were having our own customized private tour. My wife was having hip issues and she went out of her way to make sure she was doing OK. Thank you Amy, Jeff and Kenneth. I highly recommend this tour and this tour company. It's the perfect way to see San Diego.

We are in town for a vacation and took the 7 hour tour on day two of our trip. Kenneth was an excellent communicator and Doyle was an outstanding tour guide. Smart, well spoken, funny, knowledgeable, and personable. We now have a better idea how to proceed with the rest of our trip. Outstanding! Highly recommend.
