Itinerary

  1. Another Side Of San Diego Tours

    Passing by

    After taking a seat in the comfortable sightseeing van, your tour will depart for a fun and exciting experience. Your professional guide will escort you throughout some of the most renowned parts of San Diego.

    San Diego is sometimes described as "All that California is" - family friendly wholesomeness, exciting nightlife, gorgeous natural beauty and stunningly crafted architecture too. These attributes combine to create a 'feel' and an atmosphere that defy easy description, but make themselves intrinsically known to visitors. This 3-hour tour will show you why this spectacular city beckons Californians and travelers from far abroad alike to sink their toes into sand and their souls into the fabric of this vibrant place.

    Throughout this tour you'll get to stop and see lots of beautiful areas throughout the city. A few key spots include Coronado, The Hotel Del Coronado, El Prado, the historic Gaslamp Quarter, Embarcadero, and the incredible Balboa Park.

    Passing by

    Built in 1969, the Coronado Bridge spans more than 11,000 feet and rises 200ft at maximum clearance. At it's base on the San Diego side sits the Chicano Park, and the bridge is easily visible from both the coast and the air. It's now as synonumous with San Diego as the Golden Gate bridge is with San Francisco.
