I had first taken this tour over 30 years ago but I was with my best friend for their first visit to the island. I knew that the tour would point out the many highlights of Avalon but forgot the colorful historical background. Letty, our guide, was outstanding with her wealth of knowledge and her special take on the island with a born and bred Chicagoan. Enjoyed every minute and it was worth every penny.
– Daniel J., TripadvisorThis was an awesome tour. This is a must! My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Our guide Janeece, was very knowledgeable and personable. She made sure that we didn’t miss a thing and was able to give us wonderful feedback. Janeece picked us up at the door of our hotel as we came out. She was very kind to send us a thoughtful reminder the night before. We loved her!!! So grateful that we scheduled this tour.
– K.C., TripadvisorWhat a great way to start our day on Catalina! They picked us right up at the ferry. Our guide, Audra, was a gem. She has lived on the island for decades and started out by asking what things we were most interested in so she could tailor our tour. We love history so she sprinkled details about the Wrigley family, the island during WWII, and changes through the years. We were a full party of five so at stopping points we would change seats. There was plenty of room for five adults on the cart. We appreciated the advice on where to eat and what to do after the tour. Thanks, Audra, for a great start to a great day!
– Natalie H., TripadvisorWhat a wonderful experience! Dudley was incredibly patient, especially since our ship’s tender boat left a bit later than expected. We learned so much about the island — its history, culture, and what’s happening there today. We had lots of questions and he answered them all with the kind of insight only a true local could provide. We visited Catalina Island last year and rented our own golf cart, following the map provided. This tour, however, was so much better — it gave us the chance to ask questions and really understand what we were looking at. We highly recommend Catalina Tour Guides, and if you ask for Dudley, you won’t be disappointed. He was definitely the highlight of our trip to Catalina Island!
– Sharon C., TripadvisorThe Golf Cart Tour was the perfect way to experience Catalina Island. Tour Guide Dudley was very knowledgeable and happy to share information about the many venues and sites on the island.
