They were energetic, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable about San Diego's history and landmarks. They kept everyone engaged from start to finish and made both the land and water portions of the tour enjoyable. Their enthusiasm and great sense of humor really made the experience memorable. We highly recommend this tour, especially if you have Jewel and Jonny as your guides. Thank you for making our day so much fun!

It was such a great idea .the early…read morebird special was well worth it . 1 hr wouldn't have been enough time to truly see the sights . I thought the demonstration was overwhelming and I would I loved some time to practice before getting out there . But my husband drove so that made it a non issue . The workers were kind , helpful and fun even took our photos. I would recommend if you run cold , wear sunglasses . put a blanket on your lap, wear a jacket and my husband would recommend wearing gloves when driving .There was a missing cup holder in our car so we needed to stuff our water near the back. There is a trunk which was nice and you can unplug the cars gps if you want to stop and walk around but our gps had a hard time reconnecting but when we called they were able to walk us through . The gps was a little delayed sometimes . But those cookies that were listed on the route from uncle Bill's killer cookies was amazing . Mine were fresher from the oven so would def recommend them.

I had an amazing experience on my tour of La Jolla. Julia is the BEST tour guide. She is so…read moreknowledgeable about the area. She showed me places i may have never discovered on my own. As well as taking me to places I had visited previously, but this was so much better since she is so knowledgeable about the area. She is fun to hang out with, and very friendly. Julia was amazing about taking photos for me, and asking questions about what I was interested in seeing and doing. And she listened. She gave me many suggestions about other things I might be interested in checking out while I was still in San Diego based on my answers. In fact, I had such a great experience on my private tour that I booked a group tour of San Diego the VERY NEXT DAY. This tour company has such a great assortment of experiences available, you're sure to find the perfect one for you. It's hard to say which of my tours was my favorite, as I had such a great time on both. Julia knows the area, the history of the city, the history of the military, she even taught me about the different types of palm trees and the woman responsible for the variety in the area. If you are looking for a unique experience, book a tour. I'm sure they have other great tour guides as well. But Julia delivered in a way I could not have anticipated. Highly recommend! 10/10

What a great experience. My wife and I try to complete an electric bike tour in every city we…read morevisit. We've visited San Diego several times, but our visits were limited to the particular attraction we were visiting. This bike tour is a wonderful way to see so much of San Diego via bike. The location is easy to find, and parking is easy to find ( there is a huge parking structure next door). We were met by Kevin who was our guide for the tour. Awesome personality with a friendly demeanor. His knowledge of the San Diego area is impressive. He was full of fun facts about the city. The course was delightful and the bikes were easy to ride. I highly recommend this city tour and hope you get Kevin as your guide, you won't be disappointed.

Chillaxing ride to Coronado Island…read more About a 15 minute pleasure taxi with great views of the downtown cityscape and a half loop around the island.

For our wedding anniversary, we decided to try the sunset dinner cruise - we both were very happy…read morethat we did, it was a truly enjoyable ~3 hours. The service level was outstanding and all team members were very welcoming and accommodating. The food - the 3 course meal was great and was not rushed (this was very much welcomed). We had opted for the cocktail package and we were glad we did (if having more than two drinks, it makes good financial sense). During the cruise they have a DJ and open a dance floor. This is a good addition - we stopped by a few times waiting for a slow dance, but unfortunately we were not able to catch one. All 'n all, a great mini romantic getaway that helps you "forget about life" for a while and focus on what is truly important! We definitely plan on a revisit in the future!

I surprised my boyfriend with tickets for Tiki Time Bay Tours for his birthday and had a couple…read morewere friends with tag along as well. Whether you're a local or visiting San Diego this is a really fun activity on the weekend with yummy drinks and good vibes. Originally we were booked for a 10:30am tour that goes out to watch the sea lions out on the bay, unfortunately not enough people booked that one so it was cancelled. Even though our original plan was cancelled Tiki Time Tours went above and beyond to make sure we had a good experience and not only complimentary upgraded our tickets to a more expensive tour, they also gave our party a free round of drinks for the inconvenience! I think this speaks a lot about a company; anyone can be happy with customer service when everything goes according to plan, but the most important times to step up is when plans get cancelled/changed and that's exactly what they did for us! Instead of the sea lion tour we ended up doing the Tiki Live! tour at 3pm. This tour is about 2 hours and while you're out on the water you mingle with everyone else and play games that can win prizes for yourself, your party or the whole boat! The games were fun, interactive and silly. At some points we got close enough to shore and made people on land be a part of our games! Donny was our tiki tour master and he was really funny during the whole tour. In between games he just let the music play so we could enjoy the atmosphere and drinks. My entire group left with nothing but great things to say about the whole experience. My friend even won a free tour for another time so we will definitely be returning for more tiki fun.

RANDOM SUNDAY -…read moreStunning Views - Drinks + shots - Stunning views - chances to win money and prizes My friends randomly saw this boat and said we should do it for fun. Tickets were around $47 per person for a 2hr water tour around the Bay in a boat decorated in tiki decor. For tourist this tour is great with a ton of fun information about San Diego and stunning views in the water. Minimum 8 people on the boat or there may be cancellation of the tour. PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS. The guide will have some friendly trivia for a chance to win good cash prices, free drinks, gift cards, etc I think that was pretty fun to include in while getting a tour. If you are sensitive to getting seasick, I would recommend a Dramamine beforehand. Although the boat was spacious, it still felt the wakes from the other boats and you can go rocking. In addition there were slow times of moving and turning. Or you can just chuck down a few drinks and feel numb to it all! They have a Tiki Bar with a drink menu (no food) to purchase from and if you bring snacks to eat - you can't eat it on the boat. Drinks were good but their "house" made shots were pretty good! We had a couple rounds of those while on tour - paid round by a passenger or a free shot in the house by the staff. The awkward but not so awkward would be mingling with other folks on the boat that you don't know. One of my friends kept interjecting with another party and while they seem to not mind I could tell they were being polite but if it were me I'd probs be annoyed if someone kept interjecting while I'm having a good time with my friends. Although we all got along and occasionally shared cheers with shots. Luckily the boat was near empty with just a few of us to have some space to do your thing. Overall, nice little 2hr time in the water. Would highly recommend the later session to catch the sunset. Until the next review....

No one ever mentioned a deposit was required, so I assumed my reservation was confirmed. When I arrived, I was told they didn't have my gondola reserved. It was extremely upsetting and honestly ruined my birthday celebration. What made it more frustrating was that it made me feel like it was my fault for not paying a deposit, even though I was never asked to provide one. Unfortunately, there weren't any real solutions offered at the time, and my friends had work schedules, so we couldn't simply reschedule. It was a very disappointing experience. I hope to return in the future and have the experience I originally planned, but I do hope there is clearer communication moving forward so others don't experience the same issue.
