    Great Tour
    rhondam019, Sep 2021
    We had a great time- everyone in our group (adults & kids ages 7 & 12) really enjoyed it. I would recommend this tour, it was a combo of some ghost stories of course but also lots of Coronado history which was interesting!

    Your entire group was amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this and looking forward to seeing you all again!

    Tamara_D, Aug 2021
    We purchased tickets on line. Email came back with a different name. Then I messaged company to assure all confirmed before driving there and they cancelled saying they didn’t have enough employees to do it.

    Tour was disappointing. Most of tour was spending watching a film of the old hotel. Excepted to see old hotel not a film. Scheduled for an hour barely lasted 40 minutes.
    Response from Host, Aug 2021

    My kids enjoyed the ghost story that the tour guide Liz mentioned. Liz was pleasant! We liked the donuts that they gave us also.

    Tourist in your hometown

    This was so much fun and really interesting. Liz made the walk fun and we had a great time. I’m a San Diego native and am becoming more of a tourist in my own home and it’s fantastic. The weather was perfect. Rediscovery of Coronado and the history behind it was great fun and our guide, Liz was outstanding. I’ve been so many times and some of the sites Liz took us to I hadn’t seen/noticed. Very knowledgeable and the donuts at the end were just the perfect end to our tour. Thanks!!

    Thank you so much Donya! We loved having you here!
