STRESS-FREE I have been using DayTripper Tours around 15…read moreyears for day trips from San Diego. (I have not been on any of their multi-day trips, although my mom has and has enjoyed them). They are an ideal stress-free way to see certain sights that you wouldn't necessarily see under your own steam. Trips I've participated in include visits to the Disney Concert Hall, Jeopardy live taping, America's Got Talent audition taping, Hollywood Bowl concert, Nasa's JPL, the Pasadena Rose Parade, John Wayne yacht tour and Camp Pendleton tour and museum. WELL ORGANIZED AND PROFESSIONAL Day Tripper Tours are always well organized with informative, friendly guides and professional bus drivers and clean, modern buses with foot rests. COMFORT STOPS They always incorporate a roughly 20-30 minute 'comfort' stop for the restroom and fast food options on the way there and back. There's a toilet on board the bus, but they really prefer you to use the restroom at the stops. They always hand out snacks and water on board. As with most tours, you're under their schedule, so sometimes things are slightly rushed, in other words, you don't get to linger on your own time. Pick-ups usually run on time, but sometimes traffic can delay things, which is out of their control. PICK-UP LOCATIONS We have used the pick-up locations in Rancho Bernardo, Carlsbad and La Jolla. I wish they picked-up at Rancho Bernardo more often as that's the most convenient for me. Most patrons are seniors, but I've been using them since my early 40s. It's fun to chat with your bus companions, especially if you're joining the tour solo. I have taken less tours in recent years as their prices have gone up to typically around the $150 mark, but when I do take them, I enjoy them. If you get their e-mails, watch for discounts when they're trying to fill a tour. Tips to the guide and driver are also suggested and envelopes are provided. You can either browse their printed catalog by mail or take a look at their tours on-line. One thing to note is there are no refunds if you cancel due to illness, etc., although they do offer trip insurance, but I've never purchased it. If they happen to cancel the tour, you get a refund. They also offer gift certificates, which makes a nice gift for someone that enjoys their tours. I recommend Day Tripper Tours for fun days out, either solo or with a friend.

I booked this adventure for 2 reasons: (1) to FINALLY get out of the house during this pandemic…read moreespecially since all we have been doing is working and we have been working more than ever since our job is considered 'essential', and (2) celebrate my boyfriends 30th birthday. This was my first time on a quad/ATV and my boyfriend has been riding dirt bikes since he was like 6yrs old. I love being outdoors & going on new adventures, and he loves riding ... so the mixture of those things i came upon this place. For birthdays I love and prefer creating memories instead of giving materialistic gifts. Example: For his 28th birthday I booked us a little personal speed boat in San Diego. Upon arrival check-in was easy, quick, and they gave us hand sanitizer so we felt assured. They had helmets and other PPE lined up and available for us to use, however we had brought our own (riding gloves, riding jerseys, riding DOT certified helmets, and googles) which they allow. Our guide Jorge was funny and very easy going. The ride overall was really fun!! During our ride our guide also took pictures of us and he took some awesome ones with amazing backdrops! The only complaint I have was that I only booked us the 1 hour ride. Next time we are doing the 2 hour ride for sure! And maybe the Big Bear location as well.

I recently took an introductory beekeeping class, and it was an outstanding experience. The class…read morewas extremely well prepared and very organized. The instructor was easy to follow and clearly very knowledgeable about beekeeping. You can tell she has a deep understanding of the subject and a real passion for teaching it. The class was very informative but also easy to understand, even for complete beginners. There were people of all ages there--even kids--and everyone seemed engaged and able to follow along. The class was held at her home, which made for a very comfortable and welcoming classroom environment. She also had a great amount of personal learning materials and examples that really helped bring the information to life. I honestly can't say enough good things about the experience. She clearly has built a strong following over the years, and after attending the class it's easy to see why. She's friendly, helpful, and a true wealth of information. If you're interested in learning about beekeeping, I highly recommend taking one of her classes.

There…read morewere 12 of us on the boat, and it didn't feel overcrowded--everyone had a spot to relax and enjoy. When we first arrived, most of us needed to use the restroom (since there isn't one on the boat), and the girl working at check-in seemed a bit annoyed by that. However, once we got on the boat, she was totally fine and helpful. A few things to note: someone in your group does have to drive the boat, so plan ahead for that. You can bring your own 21+ drinks as long as they're not in glass containers, and you'll need to bring your own ice. Once you're out on the water, it's pretty lively with lots of other boats and people. We played our own music and just hung out--it was a really fun, chill experience. The two hours definitely go by fast, so keep an eye on the time. They're strict about going over, even by a minute, so we set a timer and started heading back 30 minutes before our end time. Overall, a fun and unique experience we'd recommend!

Do not be discouraged by the other ratings on this site, I highly, highly recommend and think this is the perfect addition to any plan in San Diego. It will create a lifetime memory.

After some quick research on Yelp, we made our reservations (VERY easy to do) and met everyone on said Saturday at the Black Swan dock. (side note - they want you there 20 minutes early...this does NOT mean you can check in 20 minutes early...chances are very high that the person checking you in is your gondolier, and he/she will be on the water at that moment). We had Conner (VERY traditional Italian name....cough) - and he was awesome. He shared some great details as we made our way along the shoreline, including some of the local nicknames for the houses on the water. He was VERY knowledgeable about when the lake was created, the various depths, and gave us tips on when to avoid being on the water (July 4th was high on that). We brought along our own drinks and snacks, and thoroughly enjoyed our ride. Highly recommended!
