PICKUP POINTSan Diego is one of California’s most exciting cities, often referred to as an undiscovered paradise of the world. The varied landscape, its beautiful nature, mild climate, historical monuments, and proximity to Mexico turned San Diego into a travelers’ Mecca long ago.
Your journey will start right at the doorsteps of your hotel or Airbnb, where our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide will pick you up in a luxury vehicle.
The tour will begin with a stop in downtown San Diego, where you will see the Maritime Museum and explore the Embarcadero and the Gaslamp Quarter, the city’s historical heart with many great restaurants and shops.
After that, we will go to Coronado Island to visit the famous Del Coronado hotel. The renowned Marilyn Monroe movie, “Some Like It Hot,” was filmed there; and the hotel, built in 1888, still attracts thousands of tourists yearly. We will then check out Balboa Park, a fantastic replica of the old Spanish town. This extraordinary exposition center was built in 1915 to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal.
The next destination is considered to be the soul of the city – recreating the atmosphere of the first Spanish and Mexican settlements, Old Town is truly a sight to behold. The place looks like a Wild West movie, with a single difference: everything there is real. From the Old Town, you will go to the famous Zoo, home to over 4,000 exotic animals representing 800 species, including giant pandas from China, chimpanzees from Central Africa, the Komodo dragon from Indonesia, koalas from Australia, rhinos from Asia, and many more.

USA VIP TOURS exceeded all my expectations of what we would see in San Diego on our private tour. Amazing tour guide, executive type transportation, and deep knowledge about the city and its awesome beach towns has totally made our day so special! And the zoo… so worth the visit, one of the best in the country! Highly recommend and can’t wait to take more of their tours in LA and San Francisco.

Wonderful tour, we visited places that not everyone would think of going but should! It was so great to see museums, art galleries, seals, memorials and much more. And special thanks to our tour guide who dealt with us and our crazy picture taking at every stop! Zoo was great too, will be back!

Our guide Jason was highly informative and took great care of us. He was very patient, and we felt so comfortable that he allowed us as much time as we desired or needed on each attraction. We didn’t feel rushed at all. Truly an amazing tour, perfect guide and great customer service experience from the company overall. Now we know where to book all the future tours.
