    5/5
    Very engaging guides providing a perfect splash of history, recommendations and humor. Everyone I engaged with was very helpful and friendly. At the last minute, I purchased a two-day pass instead of one day and enjoyed every minute. I personally found it to be a great value and convenient way to get around the main areas of the city to see as much as possible during a short stay. I was staying in Coronado and wanted to stay downtown longer than the tour allowed for drop off and took the ferry back over to the island. Also recommend this as an option for anyone considering it due to trolley pickup times. Thank you for a great experience!
