Another Side of San Diego Tours, Saved My LaJolla Day ...

I have to give lots of praise to the gentleman owner of Another Side of San Diego Tours and my tour guide, Julia! When another tour company cancelled my food tour with less than 24 hours notice leaving me with no plans for my only full day in La Jolla, I was really bummed out and decided to reach out to Another Side of San Diego Tours to see if they had availbility, not expecting accommodation since it was so last minute, but boy did Another Side of San Diego Tours rise to the challenge and save my only day in La Jolla. My tour guide, Julia, shared a lot of great information about the wildlife and people living in the area. Julia sent me a bunch of pictures and videos from the day (which was much appreciated as a solo traveler) and we got to walk a beautiful coastal walking trail that I wouldn't have ventured on by myself. Seeing the sea lions and seals, as well as enjoying a lot of great information along the way - made the day! Thanks again, Another Side of San Diego Tours!

Operator response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review! I was especially happy that we were able to step in at the last minute and help turn what could have been a disappointing day into such a memorable experience in La Jolla. Julia is an incredible guide, and I am thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed exploring the coastline with her, learning about the local wildlife and community, and of course seeing our famous seals and sea lions. I also love hearing that she took plenty of photos and videos for you. Traveling solo should never mean missing out on capturing those special memories! One of the things we pride ourselves on is doing everything we can to take care of our guests, even when plans change unexpectedly. Knowing that we were able to save your only full day in La Jolla truly means a great deal to us. Thank you again for trusting Another Side of San Diego Tours with your day. We are so glad you reached out, and we hope to have the pleasure of showing you another side of San Diego, Los Angeles, or Las Vegas on a future adventure! All The Best, Kenneth Another Side Tours
