The train ride was nice. Our tour guide, Jose met us at the train station and we started our tour. We had a great time. He shared a lot of facts and was entertaining. The morning tour was great because we went to Venice Beach and Santa Monica pier. We ate lunch at the original farmer's market. In the afternoon another couple joined us and went to Hollywood, the Hollywood sign and Beverly Hills. A full day, which ended with the train ride back to San Diego.
