Excellent introduction tour - Driver/narrator was very good provided very good explanations about the island and the city, went to areas with great scenic views. Didn’t stop at the Wrigley Memorial, though.

Family Adventure - The booking was easy and the texts and emails leading up to the trip made finding where to get our tickets and meet up for the tour easy. The boarding was about 10 mins before departure and our tour guide and driver was Bear, a well spoken and very knowledgeable guide! We enjoyed the tour and beautiful sites not to mention we learned so much more about Catalina and we were kept intrigued by Bear, he’s an awesome guide! The cost of the tour was worth it so we’ll be back with different family and will take the tour again!

entertaining and informative - I bought this for my parents as a Father’s day gift so I didn’t attend, but when the tour was done my parents immediately called me and told me how much they loved it! Their tour guide was very informative and entertaining, and they also got a great view of the whole island and all of its history. I’m really glad they had a good experience :)
