Fun day in San Diego

Published on Feb, 2025

Great afternoon spent in San Diego. Highly recommend wot anyone visiting in the area. We didn’t have a reservation and the guy in the store was so friendly and helpful. Great day spent

The best tour experience

Published on Jan, 2025

It was the best experience! Great customer service! Super informative and helpful. We were set up for success and had so much fun! The tour itself is sooo informative and being a San Diego native, I learned so much that I didn't know. I wouldn't want to take a bus or anything like that so to feel independent and free to drive was THE BEST. I went with my friend and we had lots of laughs and looks! Many people were interested in trying it themselves. This is a must for visitors AND locals! Plan a date with your partner or friend and expect a good time!

Lots of fun, if you can...

Published on Jan, 2025

Lots of fun, if you can drive a cart in Walmart you can drive this. Fun and informative! Definitely will do again.

Awesome Tour in a Yellow Three Wheeler!!!

Published on Jan, 2025

Definitely will recommend this service for anyone visiting the San Diego area. We had a lot of fun!!! You definitely get a different view of San Diego versus a tour bus or driving a car. Amazing
