  • “This was a wonderful walking tour of Catalina Island. Our guide met us at the green pier and then walked us through some of the downtown neighborhood as well as over by the Casino. She provided many interesting facts from the history of the island to many of its laws and customs today. Very much worth the time and money!”

  • "The Garibaldi tour was so fun, comfortable & informative. I never knew so much history & other information about Catalina that I learned that day. The guides were very knowledgeable and fun. We went places I never knew existed. I would take that tour again the next time I visit with family or friends. The price of the tour was also very affordable. Also easy for us older riders to get on & off."
