My husband and I recently completed a side car tour with Pegasus tours. It was awesome! I was a little skeptical of the safety of being in a motorcycle sidecar, but Nik was so respectful, careful, and calming. He takes every care to ensure safety (including maintaining as slow of a speed as is requested by guests). Within two minutes of the tour start, I was completely worry-free and loving it. Surprisingly, the side car is quite roomy! We were able to spread out and just enjoy. Nik is extremely knowledgeable of the history of San Diego and is a great storyteller. He was able to show us the main attractions as well as the small, secret corners of the city that bring it to life. The views were majestic, and experiencing them with a gentle wind in your hair, so to speak, was truly invigorating (and, for couples, can definitely have a romantic vibe). This was such a memorable and unique experience. In fact, I have never been on a city tour that I enjoyed more or found as fun, refreshing, or magical. I cannot recommend it enough. We are looking forward to doing another one in the future, and I’m also planning on bringing my mom on one with me when she next visits.

A very unique feeling experience that was full of great information about the area and a rush of excitement as the air blew in our faces. My wife and I enjoyed the tour a lot and would highly recommend to those that want an exhilarating yet relaxing time. Nik is full of an abundant amount of facts, and communicates very well. He clearly is an expert when it comes to being a tour guide and a motorcycle rider. We felt safe the entire time. I've never had a tour experience like this one. 5/5 will ride again. We actually had our tour in June 2019, even though it says October 2020.

This was a great way to see the towns of San Diego. The sidecar is really cool and felt very safe. I learned a lot of interesting tidbits about the towns and Nik kept us entertained throughout the ride. We had a blast and it was nice to see all the gawkers looking at us. I would highly recommend this for couples or with kids, Perfect date!
