I was a bit skeptical about driving a 'buggy' on the streets of downtown San Diego but quickly found out it was very safe feeling and blended with traffic very well. It kept up well with traffic and was small enough to easily pull over to let traffic pass when necessary.

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!
