The Famous San Diego Private Tour with Pickup was excellent! There were five of us traveling and the private tour was fantastic. We started the tour hungry as we were running around all morning, so Amy graciously altered the tour to allow us to grab the absolute best tacos (as she told us!) from Tacos el Gordo (try them if you can) in the Gaslamp area. Then we saw so many other sights, Balboa Park, Coronado Island (and the big bridge we crossed to get there), the coastline. It was a fun tour and Amy has so much knowledge! She a joy to have as a tour guide.

Dear nav386, I am absolutely blown away by your dedication to experiencing so many of our tours! Having you take our Coronado e-bike tour, both Gaslamp and La Jolla Segway tours, and now our Famous Private Tour truly showcases the range of experiences we offer. Your reviews have been incredibly detailed and helpful for other travelers. Amy's flexibility in adjusting the tour to include that Tacos el Gordo stop is exactly what makes private tours so special - we can customize the experience to match our guests' needs and energy levels! It's this kind of personalized attention that we strive for, and Amy exemplifies this perfectly. There's nothing better than combining local culinary gems with our city's iconic sights like Balboa Park, Coronado Bridge, and our beautiful coastline. As someone who has experienced nearly our entire San Diego portfolio, I would love to personally assist you in planning any future adventures in Los Angeles or Las Vegas. Your enthusiasm for exploration and appreciation for local insights makes you exactly the kind of guest we love to host at any of our locations! Warmest regards, Kenneth CEO, Another Side Tours, Inc.

Having done several city tours in the US, I found this tour to be of lesser value than most. It was short and not that informative. We booked last minute and that may have been a factor. The driver was prompt, nice and the vehicle was immaculate.
