I’m quite disappointed about our trip today. The tour guide didn’t even introduce himself, his English was basic so not too much information was available. The tour main attraction was the old town of San Diego but we only spend 30 min at the end of the day which was such a short time compared with other activities we had on the day that didn’t require so much time. I mean we travelled from overseas to see the main attraction, the old town of San Diego and we ended up only 30 min there . The whole group were mainly Chinese people and just 4 of us English, and quite age advanced that’s why probably the last activity was so rushed but we have paid a lot of money to see the main attraction . Not to mention everything was so delayed, although we have had the meeting time to be 6:00 am that was changed to 5:50 , which we thought we will be late for as our taxi ride was late , he managed to get us there right in time for 5:50 but the rest of the pick up was so delayed which shortened our trip overall, meaning we have lost a lot of time from what we could have spent in the Old town. We have been to so many tours over the time but this was one of our worst experience. Because of the delays we have lost our transfer from LA and we nicely asked for a drop off on the way, we have agreed to be dropped off near Disneyland in Anaheim but probably because of the language barrier, the tour guide left us outside Anaheim which meant we had to make our way back to the hotel 5 miles away. Lucky my husband and I are used to Google maps and we were able to get back to our hotel using the public transport. Not that happy with this tour . Hopefully someone will change the tour guide to make this tour more efficient. Me and my husband managed to see a lot of things but that’s because we are organised and we actually run from one place to another otherwise not a clue how we would have seen things only in 30 min for some places. I hope others will have a better experience .

Great day trip. Would of like to spend more than 30 minutes in Old Town San Diego and less time in Balboa Park. Would of also like more time on the USS Midway. A lot of trafic to come back. Took us 3 hours from San Diego to LA.

On 9/14, my wife and I participated in the SAN DIEGO one-day tour of Seagull Holiday. We rode the wind and waves in the sea and boarded the Midway Island Aircraft Carrier Museum. Thank you for the itinerary of Seagull Holiday CTOUR. Thank you for your care, DANIEL. See you again! ! !

This trip to San Diego, we had a very good time. And I like it very much. We really enjoyed the cruise tour of the military port. The tour guide of Ctour holiday is also very professional and patient.

It was the worst experience I had. The guide barely spoke English and he wouldn’t explain anything. I was misinformed. On your website the guide will be an English spoken one. It was terrible. He wouldn’t explain anything. We were on our own. He said few things in Chinese to the Asian Tourists. Then I almost got lost in Balboa Park because we were left alone. Then I couldn’t even go to the navy aircraft since he did not tell us anything. And my ticket was included in my purchase. I paid $223.00 for my ticket. And it’s not eve. Worth a dollar. Then on our way back the Bus had some problems and it took us 4 Hours to get back to LA. They made us move to another bus. And for me this is the first time in the US and I had the worst experience of my life. I called your office yesterday and I complained and I asked for a full refund. I had anxiety all day and was stressed out. If I don’t get my full refund I will open a case with my credit card at capital one to decline your payment and we will have a dispute.

Wonderful day trip, easy and relaxing, nice getaway place, everyone in the family enjoyed it so much! The tour guide Daniel from Ctour is super helpful and friendly!

We had a blast! There is so many things to do and see! The rides are soo fun, the animals were beautiful, my favorite was the fish you can interact with by putting your hands in and they latch on (does not hurt) feels like a vibration. Staff was fun and outgoing. We went during the week so there wasn't many lines but it did get a bit busier later on. I would come back here again! thank you ctour to help me to get the trip.

We had a good day trip to San Diego, visited the old town, did a cruise, visited the naval base museum, visited the park which is very vast and relaxing place. Our tour guide Jonny was excellent in advising us some good options to consider on this day trip
