Darren was an outstanding tour guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and could talk in great detail about the history of the many sites on the San Diego tour. His engaging style made the tour come alive. He was also very kind and caring and offered us water and snacks throughout the duration of the tour. He was a great conversationalist, and we felt like we had known him for many years. We recommend this tour without reservation and would be glad to have Darren as our tour guide again someday.

We got a great over view of the city. Comfortable and clean car. Our guide knew good spots to stop and shop. Learned San Diego history plus the current trends of the areas.
