    Review of: Carlsbad Food Tour and Wine Tasting
    Delicious, informative and engaging
    We loved this tour! Ben Mastracco was very engaging and very well informed. He gave interesting facts and history about the city and the eateries as well as holding conversations with us guests. One of the cool things I liked about this is Ben's knowledge of food, nutrition, cooking, science and history. What a perfect combination for a food and wine tour guide. Plus he is always looking for more historical information and ways to improve the experience. The portions of food were surprisingly large compared to other food tours we've taken. And everything was quite tasty. It was a relaxing pleasure from start to finish. (The only things I would add are asking at the time of reservation about food allergies or intolerances and announcing bathroom breaks.) And the eye candy is just an added bonus! 😉

    Review of: LEGOLAND® California - 1 Day Admission
    Fun day with family
    We had a great time at Legoland. The kids had a blast. There were things for all ages although our 16 year old did seem bored at times. We got the refillable cup and it was so worth it. The “model citizens” (employees) were great with our 3 and 8 year old. The photo pass is 100 percent NOT worth it. It was a total waste of money. Some of our photos never showed up on our link and there weren’t many photo opportunities to be used wit it. Pretty much unless you use them for the rides (ours never showed up from the rides) whatever you you would use this pass for you can do with your phone. Also there where there were photographers the kiosk told me I had to pay for those specific photos. So don’t waste your money on the photo pass.
    Make sure to check out the layout of the park before going.

    Review of: Carlsbad 3-Hour Electric Bike Rental
    There's a bike for the whole family! They have some bikes w/ a banana seat & my son could ride w/ his dad!
    Renting the electric bikes was the highlight of our trip! Just so you know it is now a 2-hour bike ride.
    But that was still plenty of time to ride along the coast, grab some good grub & take lots of breathtaking pics! We highly recommend Pedego Carlsbad Electric Bikes!

    Review of: Oceanside, Auto Museum & Winery Tour & Tasting
    Taught me so much about my home locality!
    I had lived in La Jolla for 1.5 years when I took the tour. I thought I knew the community well but I was obviously wrong. There was so much to learn on Nik's La Jolla tour. I discovered many new nooks and corners of the area and learnt interesting trivia. Nik's enthusiasm for the trip was also good company for the tour! I highly recommend it for tourists and residents alike :) Thanks Nik!

    Review of: Pacific Coast Highway Smartphone Driving Tour between LA & San Diego
    Vacation drive
    Kept loosing signal and wasn’t as guiding as we thought.

    Even got confused on which route to take.

    Might try again but will need to improve interaction abilities.

    Review of: Scavenger Hunt & Trivia Game: Phone-Guided Walking Tour through Carlsbad Village
    Out and About
    We weren’t the best at finding locations, but being out n about through the area was interesting n fun. One riddle directed us to go into the Magee House, but it was closed. That riddle might need to be adjusted.

    Review of: Fun City Scavenger Hunt in Carlsbad by Crazy Dash
    Groups only no couples
    Not really something for a couple. Make sure you have a group. Most of the scavengers are for groups and hard to do with just two.

    Review of: Shuttle from Carlsbad Airport (CLD) to LAX Airport
    Great shuttle service to LAX for fair price and lots of departure times
    Nice, spacious shuttle with polite and dependable drivers. I’ve used this service several times now and have had great experiences. I’m very happy to have shuttle service from north county to LAX. I plan to use for all my future travel needs. Highly recommended.
