Just returned from a great bus tour to the wineries near Ensenada, overnight in Ensenada, and lunch in Puerto Nuevo. Christina was an absolutely fabulous tour director. Full of energy, information and helpfulness. This is my second trip with Day Trippers. They really do a good job. I'm looking forward to going on more trips with them. Especially if Christina is in charge!

I would not recommend the rose bowl parade tour. Even though it was pretty it was way too crowded and hectic. Waited in line 1hour to use the bathroom. Bus was comfy and Keri our tour guide was very nice. We had to wait a very long time to get our hotel room which we were not happy about . Went to dinner and battle of the dance show and the food was not too good show was so so kind of disappointed ... Hotel room at courtyard marriott buena park was very basic bed too soft light in bathroom flickered ... They messed up with our check in very disappointed with that we were tired and really needed to rest before show but could not . I would not go on another bus tour as its just not my thing ... The bus was nice and driver was nice too name Ernesto .. Thank you Stacey R

Thank you, Stacy, for providing feedback of your experience on our annual overnight tour to the Rose Parade. We appreciate that you took the time and effort to submit your comments, as it allows us to expand in areas where we are strong and to improve upon areas of weakness. You are correct about the crowds at the Rose Parade, as it is one of Southern California's largest annual events. Hundreds of thousands of spectators from around the world descend on the relatively small city of Pasadena and, while the event itself is very organized, it can be hectic due to the sheer numbers of people who attend. We too, share your disappointment with the hotel and have made the decision to discontinue using that particular Marriott in the future as a result of the experience you mentioned. The chain has a great reputation worldwide and we've had wonderful reviews in the past, but the delay in checking in our bus group was unacceptable. The hotel failed live up to our expectations and those of our customers, and we sincerely regret the inconvenience and frustration you experienced. As you may know, we solicite passenger surveys on our tours. We review every single survey to look for ways in which we can improve upon our services. When those comments involve our service providers like the Marriott and Battle of the Dance, we also contact upper management of those companies to address your feedback with them directly. On a positive note, I'm happy that you were pleased with the quality of our motor coach, our driver, Ernesto, and our tour guide, Keri. Our crews are highly trained professionals who work hard to accommodate our passengers, and they appreciate your kind words. Again, I thank you, Stacy, for taking the time to provide feedback about your experience. We welcome the opportunity to improve upon our services and we hope that in the future you'll give us another try. Sincerely, Myron S President DayTripper Tours

Went on a couple tours that were ok--Laguna pageant was fine. Then signed up for one where bus was very late--waited for hours in a parking lot, tour then cut short. No offer to try and make up for the problems. Last one for me. Now doing Road Scholars.

I did the trip to the Pasadena Rose Parade a couple of years ago, and will never take another bus trip to anywhere. First of all, if you book this trip, ask where your seats will be. Mine were in the nose-bleed section at the end of the route. The view was poor and the marchers were tired. Had I known how far up my seat was, I would never have gone. On the bus, one person had brought her small dog hidden away in a carry bag, and since I'm allergic and her seat was nearby, that was unpleasant for me. Finally, in another nearby seat was someone who sounded like they were going to hack up a lung. They shouldn't have been on the bus to spread their germs in such close quarters. Never again.

Absolutely the best tour company. Trained tour guides. Safe drivers. Can't go wrong with this tour company.

My 25 yr. old daughter & I have taken many tours on Daytripper. We are usually the youngest to go. I'm in my late 50s. We've gone to Catalina, Best of LA, Idylwild wine tasting ( one of the best), Joshua Tree. All of those tours were great! We decided last summer to go to the Rosarito/ Puerto Nuevo lunch tour. Big mistake. Crossing the border was fine. I couldn't believe how developed Rosarito has gotten since I was there. There are so many bars & discos now & trinket stores peddling their wares. We stopped @ a nice bakery in downtown TJ to buy pastry which was fun too. Coming back to the US was a mess! We had to disembark the buses( I think there were 2-3) get off & walk through customs. Due to long lines- that took over an hour. I was prepared for that. When we got through customs there were no buses! The inspectors decided to take a break. A LONG break. We sat on a sidewalk in San Ysidro for 2 more hours & waited until they let the buses go through. Our tour guide kept apologizing and said" you never know what to expect when you come down to Mexico" My daughter & I should have taken an Uber back to our car. There were elderly & some disabled people sitting there too. Be prepared if you decide to go. Wear good walking shoes and enjoy that complimentary margarita cause you will need it!

The Sunnylands/Annenberg tour at Rancho Mirage on May 30, 2018, led by Christina with Ernesto driving, was amazing, and will be a part of continuing reflection and reverie. Janice Lyle's masterpiece graces my small condo coffee table! Reliving this fabulous experience will be ongoing through the beautiful photos and fascinating history. Christina was a living "Wikipedia" of fascinating geographic, historic, scientific, sociological, etc etc etc information. We were treated graciously and well while traveling. Ernesto followed off-freeway scenic roadways from Riverside County into the Coachella Valley for a very comfortable drive. While at Sunnylands and touring the spectacular estate - exuberant, skilled, informative guides and staff treated guests royally! DayTripper service from the moment the tour was booked via phone, throughout the entire day: 8:00AM - 6:45PM, was perfection! Thanks again Christina! Louise Cavallin

Stuck on the side of the freeway with flat tire... What happen to equipment checks... They clearly have no plan for this eventuality.

Jan 4, 2016

Thank you for your review regarding the trip to the Rose Parade. We regret the inconvenience you experienced when the bus encountered a flat tire en route to Pasadena. Regarding your concern about equipment checks, please know that all tour buses receive rigorous inspections throughout the year as well as prior to every trip, as mandated by law. The carrier that operates our coaches has an impeccable safety and maintenance record that has been recognized nationally as a model for the industry. We sincerely apologize for the temporary delay, but we were happy that the bus was returned to service and arrived in Pasadena in time for the Rose Parade. As a good will gesture we were happy to buy lunch for all the passengers on the trip home as a way to help make up for the inconvenience. Thank you for traveling with us and we look forward to seeing you on a future excursion!

Great day trip to Valle de Guadalupe! Kristina was an amazing hostess providing facts, humor, and fun times! She made sure everyone and everything was taken care of and even brought water, tp, and wipes because you know you're going to need that stuff in MX!

I've been on 37 of these tours, so I guess it is about time for me to give them a review. All the trips have been single day trips. The first one was the Fillmore and Western Luncheon Train tour back in 2006. The tours I have been on include Catalina, Salton Sea, Windmill Farms, Nethercutt Auto Museum, Space Shuttle Endeavour, Union Station, Date Festival in the desert, Jet Propulsion lab, KPBS, Union Tribune, L.A Times., March Air Reserve Base, Camel Dairy, Hubbell house, Benedict Castle, Silk Road Exhibit to name a few. Today we went to the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden and Fullerton Arboretum. What I like about these trips is that everything is prearranged and all you have to do is show up in time to catch the bus and leave the driving to Day Tripper tours. Sometimes lunch or dinner is included on the tour and sometimes they drop you off in an area with a lot of eateries and you are on your own to eat where you want. I have never had a bad experience. Some tours are better than others, but the tour guides and bus drivers have always done a great job. Update: We just took our 77th trip with Day Tripper Tours and I still highly recommend them. I'm so glad we discovered this tour company. It has been a wonderful way to see Southern California.

I got a lot for my money.

Enjoyed whole experience. Thank you!

Day Tripper

The home base for this tour is the quaint and beautiful town of Adare. The pubs/restaurants in Adare are fantastic. There are some really nice shops as well.We had the best guide,Philip.
