This was the best way ever to get a feel for San Diego . We are bikers but it was great to sit back and let Nik do all the driving and talking. He is a very knowledgeable tour guide and covered a huge distance in our 2 hours. No big roads and all the main sights. Nik did everything to make sure we had a great trip. I would recommend for anyone!

Being driven around on the motorcycle. My friend and I could not fit in the sidecar. If yo get another sidecar, you might want to add 10-15" to the seating. For hefty people like us. But i was glad I rode behind the driver. It was great. Relaxing and comfortable. Nik was a great tour guide. I will definitely do it again. Next time it will be 3-5 hour tour. Thank you Nik. It was a great experience. I have put a view on trip advisor. Also for the seal tour. Can't wait to see the photos so I can show everybody. I also left a brochure at the hotel to let their guests about this tour. I should have grabbed a couple to leave at the hotel.

Sitting behind the driver. My friend and I couldn't fit together in the side car. Might want to maybe get a wide load side car for some of us hefty people.. Nick took us all round as brochure said. Talked and explained the history. This was worth the money and very enjoy a ble👍👍👍👍👍 I say go for it. Try the winery tour. I will definitely do it again. Two hours and getting off to walk took a little effort. Next time I am going to customize or the 5 hour tour. Thank you Nik for a great experience.

My husband and I recently completed a side car tour with Pegasus tours. It was awesome! I was a little skeptical of the safety of being in a motorcycle sidecar, but Nik was so respectful, careful, and calming. He takes every care to ensure safety (including maintaining as slow of a speed as is requested by guests). Within two minutes of the tour start, I was completely worry-free and loving it. Surprisingly, the side car is quite roomy! We were able to spread out and just enjoy. Nik is extremely knowledgeable of the history of San Diego and is a great storyteller. He was able to show us the main attractions as well as the small, secret corners of the city that bring it to life. The views were majestic, and experiencing them with a gentle wind in your hair, so to speak, was truly invigorating (and, for couples, can definitely have a romantic vibe). This was such a memorable and unique experience. In fact, I have never been on a city tour that I enjoyed more or found as fun, refreshing, or magical. I cannot recommend it enough. We are looking forward to doing another one in the future, and I’m also planning on bringing my mom on one with me when she next visits.

A very unique feeling experience that was full of great information about the area and a rush of excitement as the air blew in our faces. My wife and I enjoyed the tour a lot and would highly recommend to those that want an exhilarating yet relaxing time. Nik is full of an abundant amount of facts, and communicates very well. He clearly is an expert when it comes to being a tour guide and a motorcycle rider. We felt safe the entire time. I've never had a tour experience like this one. 5/5 will ride again. We actually had our tour in June 2019, even though it says October 2020.

This was a great way to see the towns of San Diego. The sidecar is really cool and felt very safe. I learned a lot of interesting tidbits about the towns and Nik kept us entertained throughout the ride. We had a blast and it was nice to see all the gawkers looking at us. I would highly recommend this for couples or with kids, Perfect date!
