Le Casino Catalina n'est en fait pas une salle de jeux mais lieu accueillant des dizaines de big bands durant les années 1930 et 1940. Avec 20 000 pieds carrés, la salle de bal Catalina Casino est la plus grande salle circulaire au monde sans piliers pour le soutien. La promenade extérieure encercle la salle de bal et donne sur la crique protégée de la baie d'Avalon et la plage Descanso. Notre visite passe en donnant de superbes vues sur ce monument à couper le souffle.

Fun tour with great views over the city and harbor! We learned lots of interesting facts about the island and its early inhabitants. Also a bit about current island life. Beautiful for pictures, but just so you know, you don’t get off the open- air bus. They do stop at prime locations and everyone can stand up and take pictures. It gave us a good idea of where we wanted to go when we rent a golf cart and explore on our own tomorrow!
Guide and driver were great, very interesting and well informed. Well worth the value. The time on the viator reservation was incorrect. Should have been 12:30 or 1:05
Unable to complete tour, driver refused to accept us due to 2 yers old baby and stating car seat requirement.(which is not mentioned in web)
Hit the highlights, gave a good overview, loved the historical content, great driver, and knowledgeable guide.
Jay our tour guide was great. He was very knowledgeable about the island. They stopped at the best spots for pictures.
We arrived on time at the original location, however, they had texted us two hours previous to show up in another location, quite far from our walking stride, almost late until I flagged down a golf cart driver and he raced us over to the right place. Yikes. The guide in the open air vehicle should NOT be a public speaker or guide. She did not want to use the microphone and asked if we all could hear her without it. Unprofessional, and also needed her phone to READ many facts, etc. not OK. The driver was excellent and with a cheerful demeanor, very professional.
We booked this online with my husband during our day trip from Long Beach to Catalina Island. We are from Texas so the whole sceneries of Avalon from the ocean to the mountains are so refreshing and new to us. We’re able to go up to the top of the mountains that only tour trams and locals are allowed. We saw a Bison during our tour. Our guide and driver were both professionals and both locals of Avalon. The roads to the top are stiff and narrow, but we felt safe with our sage and experienced drivers. The sceneries were so astonishing!! This 2 hour tour made us see a lot of Avalon that we won’t be able to see and learn history on our own! It’s a must tour if you want to get the most of your experience in Avalon or Catalina Island!!
They were later 15 minutes for a 50 minute tour. We sped through the tour and returned back to pick up. Our tour ended up being 35 minutes from pick up to drop off. There was no apology for picking us up late either.
Sergio provided interesting facts about the city along with being warm and friendly. It was just the right amount of time to get an overview of the city and the culture there. There were 7 family members and we all loved it.
Tim and Sergio were great guides! Definitely take this activity if you want some cool history about Catalina Island.
