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.

Update: since the Lake Arrowhead trip, I took one absolutely outstanding trip and today tried to…read moretake another, which did not work out...but I'm so blown away by the stellar customer service that I had to go ahead and update my review to the highest possible stars! I can't say enough good things about this company. In February, I took the MOST FUN trip to a taping of 3 shows for Wheel of Fortune = what a total BLAST! Soooo much fun from front to back; it was exhilarating (saw a MN guy win $90K in 2 hours!) Made me want to take ALL the game show trips! I signed up for the AGT auditions in Pasadena for 3/26 and was all set to go with hubby. We got an email maybe a week ago Friday that it all got cancelled, but we could switch to the other date for it, which was today. Bc of work situations, I could go, but hubby could not, so I replied such to the email, and it was all arranged WITHOUT ME EVEN HAVING TO CALL THE OFFICE, and the full refund for hubby was instantly given. So hassle free, wow! Today I left home 1.5 hrs before my bus pickup time...but due to traffic, GPS kept ADDING 5-minute chunks onto my trip, and by the Temecula traffic bog, I could see I'd be at least 25 min late = not acceptable! So I rang the 800# CXL line, since I had taken the $15 CXL fee option. I explained my situation to Corbett, who said he'd let the bus driver know, so they wouldn't have to wait, but he didn't know/wasn't sure about my cancellation refund. However, by the time I got home, the full refund was already processed and they sent an email, so again , I didn't even NEED to call the office: it was all just handled. Wow! Even though I was VERY VERY disappointed to miss this day I'd been dreaming about...I trust that I'll get another chance, when it's meant to be. In the meantime, I've got my eye on a few other trips, which I'll happily sign up for without a moment's hesitation. VERY impressive customer service!!! (Pics added are from the FEB Wheel of Fortune trip) I'm fully impressed with Day Tripper!!

West was unavailable…read moreduring our trip, but he made sure we were taken care of by referring us to Uncle Jose--and that worked out perfectly. After a quick and easy walk through customs, Uncle Jose met us right across the street and got the day started smoothly. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable right away. He guided us through a mix of local shops and restaurants, then gave us the flexibility to visit the spots we specifically wanted. We made our way to Puerto Nuevo for lobster, which absolutely lived up to the hype, and of course stopped at Restaurante Caesar's--the birthplace of the Caesar salad--which was a highlight of the trip. Uncle Jose took great care of us throughout the day and made the experience easy and enjoyable. If you are able to walk across the border and walk back or take a $10 shuttle back into the US, ask for Uncle Jose a warm and knowledgeable local that will take great care of you. Highly recommended if you're looking for a fun, safe and stress-free Baja adventure!

When we called to sort out where the driver was, we were told the reservation was for 2/3, not 2/2. This is not true, as you can see from the screenshot attached. Six people were left without transportation to the airport. With no time to call an Uber (or two to fit everyone!), we had to load up two personal vehicles and drive to the airport where we will now be hit with vehicle storage fees, wear and tear to our vehicles, and we are forced to park at the airport, which we simply do not do. Additionally, this will cost more than $1,000 out of pocket due to their negligence. Under no circumstances trust these people to get you where you need to go.
