Tour without the hassle
Published on Aug, 2024
What a bargain. If you have a car, this is a definite must. I had not been to San Diego since the 70's, and then only for a day. This guided tour of the area was exactly what I was looking for. It took me on a complete easy-to-follow tour of the entire area accompanied by an informative narrative. You can go at your own pace, exlpore any area when you want for as long as you want. I highly recommend
eye opener
Published on Jul, 2024
been to SD many times over the years for business and family. Never much of a fan of the city. Had some free time and a car, so tried this recorded tour. Easy to use and follow. More importantly, the tour guided us to areas and sights we weren't aware of, that were beautiful, interesting and off the beaten path. highly recommended. (If you get a chance, hit Mitch's for great seafood on the water)
Great Local's Guide to San Diego via GPS Self-Guided Tour
Published on Jun, 2024
My husband and I took the Local Guide to the San Diego Sights Tour two weeks ago. We both had been to San Diego before to visit relatives but we really didn't do any sightseeing as part of those previous trips. First of all this self guided GPS tour is very easy to use. It covers a lot of ground that one would probably not have figured out how to cover on one's own. The sights included are scenic, cultural and historical. We both learned so much especially regarding the historical origins of the city from the Spanish explorers to development of the military bases, etc, and how its history has shaped modern day San Diego. There are even recommendations of where to eat along the route that are the tour operators own personal favorites. I highly recommend this tour as a great, self guided option to learning about this beautiful city. Enjoy!!
