Join us for a unique, private adventure of La Jolla, with a guided tour in a motorcycle sidecar! Learn about the past & present of “the Jewel”, cruising the coast lazily in style!

This means 2 passengers can sit in the sidecar, and a third behind your personal driver and guide. Our helmets are equipped with industry leading SENA communication system offering 4-person HD audio connectivity, so you can talk directly with one another & with the guide during the entire tour. Pets are also welcome to come along for the ride! There is even a convertible top that can enclose the sidecar in case (by some rare chance in San Diego) it rains.Tours are private & highly customizable. Let's cruise the Golden Coast! Please call in advance to confirm availability!
Come with us on a slow-paced stroll through magnificent La Jolla. See why this gorgeous piece of ocean and earth has been named “The Jewel”, and enjoy magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean the entire tour. Starting from the north part of La Jolla, the tour will introduce you to the sublime Mormon Temple and the gorgeous University of California San Diego (UCSD) campus.
From there, we will head to Torrey Pines Glide Port where paragliders can be observed as they take off and land from atop the 400 foot cliffs. Below the cliffs is Black’s beach, what was the country’s first nudist beach which it remains to this day.
The next stop is the La Jolla Shores Beach & Scripps Pier, where surfers ride the waves year-round.

I went to San Diego a few years ago with my husband and did a side car tour with Niko!! The best experience! So much fun, learned a lot about the city, saw gorgeous views, even stopped for ice cream. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you, Niko!
Thank you so much for trusting me with your afternoon in San Diego. It was a joy to show you around. See you next time. Nik
Had a GREAT time with Nikola and his tour. He had my parents in his sidecar while i followed on my bike. Everything was really easy, well planned out and nicely organized. Nik was a very friendly guild and had so many historical fun facts that he pointed out along our route. We had an fun time speaking through the headphones to each other and pointing out all the amazing sights and vantage points. 1000x would book again. I'm if you want a fun new way to see the city of San Diego this is it!!
It was great showing you all my town - thanks for taking my tour and till the next time!
Pegasus Sidecar tours is the most innovative way to see La Jolla and San Diego. A beautiful unusual tour on a motorcycle with a trailer. Nik is an amazing tourist guide, he is very communicative and educated. A picnic with him is an amazing party. I look forward to meeting him again when I am in San Diego again. All recommendations for a good and quality trip.
Thank you for taking my tour - it was a pleasure spending the afternoon with you and I look forward to the next opportunity - Cheers!
This was the highlight of our short visit to San Diego. Nik gave us a tour of La Jolla, and though we had visited already we learned so many incredible things we hadn't known. The sidecar is tons of fun and Nik is an amazing guide - knowledgeable, passionate, and with a contagious enthusiasm. We saw the sunset over the ocean beautiful, beautiful parts of town off the beaten path, and a view of the city from a mountaintop. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!
Wonderful spending the afternoon with you and showing you my town. Safe travels - Cheers!
Pegasus Sidecar tours is the most innovative way to see La Jolla and San Diego. I mean, how often will you get to do a private, personal tour on a motorcycle sidecar or motorcycle? Nik is an amazing tour guide, he's very knowledgeable, has an infectious enthusiasm and passion for the area and is just an honest to goodness great person. Do a picnic with him if you can, it is absolutely worth it. Looking forward to doing more tours with them when we're on town next.
I had an awesome afternoon with you tow and enjoyed sharing the picnic with the views throughout - please having you in my little town - and looking forward to the future visits. Be well in the meantime, and thank you once more! Cheers!
Nik is a great tour guide and this is a wonderful way to see many "hidden" secrets of La Jolla. In fact, for example, even with a car, we wouldn't have known where to go or how to find the best location to view the sunset. As this is a private tour, Nik is open to customizing the tour, allowing you to select what you want to see based on your interests. We are a laid back couple and were happy to just be chauffeured around in a fun vehicle and soak in the sites. However, if you are a history buff or architecture aficionado, just tell Nik and he'll take care of you. The coolest part is the vehicle. I've never been in a sidecar, but it was an awesome experience! It was very safe and comfortable. If there are two of you, one can also opt to sit behind Nik on the actual motorcycle, which offers a different view/perspective. Besides having a charming personality, Nik also acts as photographer and historian for your journey. I highly recommend this tour!
Thanks so much for taking my tour! I had a great time - you guys are awesome. Thanks for being a sport with the inaugural toast too and again apologies for sabotaging the keto :) Safe travels and hope to see you two again some day in SoCal! Cheers. Nik
If you're looking for a unique, exciting and enjoyable way to see the LaJolla area the Pegasus Sidecar Tour is the way to go! Nik will take you to the best areas to see each attraction (Torrey Pines, LaJolla Cove, exclusive neighborhoods, Mormon Temple and wonderfull views of the coastline) while giving you unique facts and history of each. You'll get closer to everything than you would in a bus, van or trolley and be able to walk around, take pictures and enjoy the scenery on your own private tour. We truly enjoyed celebrating our 50th Anniversary with Nik.
Thank you both for choosing to celebrate your 50th anniversary by taking my tour - it's truly an honor and I am grateful for any chance to cruise the coast - it was a pleasure to show you a bit about our awesome city, and I am glad we got a chance to get up close to the gold course as well. Thank you again and once more CONGRATULATIONS!
Everything worked out perfectly! Reliable and punctual. Really a great experience and way to visit San Diego! TOP!!!
Vielen dank - Thank you for spending the morning with us! It was a sincere pleasure showing you around our great city! Cheers.
