We used the Go City inclusive five day passes. Worked great with no surprise fees from any of the attractions included. We spent a day at the SD Zoo, one day at Sea World, two days visiting Balboa park, a half day bus tour, a half day harbor cruise, and a half day at Birch aquarium. We also drove out to Point Loma and Cabrillo National Monument. As an adult couple, we were only disappointed in Sea World. Mostly rides and expensive food and souvenirs. We discovered Sea World was more of an amusement park experience for children. Long lines to see the handful of shows. We were only able to see the orca and dolphin shows. We did not have time to go to the Maritime Museum or SD Safariland Zoo. Maybe next time. We did not do the Midway tour because we had already done it on earlier trips to SD. It is the best single attraction in SD IMHO with a great selection of aircraft as well as the carrier itself. We stayed at Bay Club and Fairfield at Old City. Bay Club was great except for no free breakfast. Fairfield was only fair except for a very good free breakfast.

A unique old school vibe, nice original design, safe area with beach access and nice pool areas. Far from downtown with rather austere rooms.

It was an interesting experience, to be able to return to the places that we liked the most. For example, Balboa Park. Joseph very attentive and kind in all details.

O1346TPjonathanm

Wonderful tour but not enough time to see them all. Just like what Joseph said, only "a glimpse of San Diego". Joseph is such a good tourist guide and a safe driver.

jburk12003

Excellent tour. Joseph was a great tour guide and it was an excellent way to see the city. We really enjoyed the experience and we will definitely recommend to others.

JimFromScottsdale

Chris was very informative. We hit all the major areas and had time to walk and explore. This tour is great if you so not know all of the areas in San Diego. Then you will know where you want to visit and spend time. The vehicle was comfortable.

OttawaBeachLover23

The tour was great, we hit all the major parts of the city. I really liked that we had time to ourselves to walk about and do our own thing. Joe was friendly and knowledgeable about the city’s history. Enjoyed the hotel pick up and drop off, added bonus! Would book again, definitely recommend it.

I am so thankful that I decided to jump on this tour last minute; from the very start Joseph, the tour guide was accommodating, kind, and personable. He reached out to me personally via text to confirm drop off/pick up, which is a detail I have never seen on other tours through viator🙂. Throughout the tour he made the comfort of each guest his priority, while somehow driving the van safely, and giving us the information we all came on the tour for. It was like watching a wizard 🧙‍♂️. He had waters, snacks, and checked on everyone’s air comfort level. The tour itself was beautiful, and he dropped us off/picked us up in all of the most convenient areas. Great guide, made us all feel like a great big ‘family’😉. The tour itself is an amazing sampler of all of the fun areas of San Diego, and it gives you an idea of where you might want to spend more time if you’re here for a long visit, and shows you the whole city if you are here for a short one, like me 🥹🥹😩. Definitely a 5 star tour.
