The buses are of good quality.....especially the purple line which has large open-to-air windows. I just wish the rooftop was transparent! The Red line and Yellow line buses were also of top qualty.

Just the overall excellent service the only thing I would like to see change is if they would offer military discount or at least something my hubster and I saw lots of veterans asking for military discount and they don't offer maybe they could change that in the future but other than that the experience was just great 👍😊

On the guide to tour, I was hoping that we could extend it to the next day because we didn't have enough time after the aquarium visit to do the second venue purchase. But because of the stipulations we could not I did not want to refund. I just wanted to enjoy the next day because we did not have enough time after our visit to the aquarium. We did not want to refund. We just wanted to get what we paid for. I understand there are no refunds. I just believe that you could make adjustments for people who are vacationing for the first time in California. Will not make the mistake of using this site again if we are to return next time.
