Tim’s tour is wonderful! Because my husband and I enjoy scenery and nature, we opted for a visit to La Jolla and decided we might get more out of a tour than we would just guiding ourselves around an unfamiliar area. The concierge at our hotel recommended Tim’s tour so we made reservations for it and are glad we did! La Jolla is such a pretty area. Tim started us off on Mount Soledad –just the right place for a good overview and for beautiful views in all directions. That is something we would have missed if we had ventured out on our own. Tim has a wealth of knowledge that he shares in his warm, friendly style. He not only covers history, geography and geology but also fun little tidbits and expert advice on local shops and restaurants. It’s like having a bright, well informed friend proudly show us around the area he loves and calls home. Tim’s tour of La Jolla was, for us, the hightlight of our trip to San Diego.

My husband and I took Tim’s La Jolla tour and we highly recommend it. Mt Soledad was a prefect start with fabulous views of San Diego and the surrounding arears, the tour allowed us to spend time at Torrey Pines and enjoy lunch at a restaurant recommed by Tim in La Jolla. Tim is the perfect tour guide, he has a wealth of knowlege and explained everything really well, he is a walking encyclopedia.

As we were only in San Diego for a few days we arranged our tour before leaving the UK, this worked out well, we were met as agreed and had an enjoyable afternoon. If you are visiting San Diego take this tour, you will have an very enjoyable and informative afternoon in great company.

We had a wonderful tour of La Jolla with Tim. Although there were only two of us, Tim took no shortcuts and provided us the same tour as he would have given a group of 10. I felt that I saw everything there was to see with his tour. If we would have done La Jolla on our own, we would have missed out on some special areas of interest and vantage points, not to mention the wealth of information Tim relayed. Mt. Soledad Veterans’ Memorial was the highlight of the tour for me, as my father was a WWII veteran and survivor of Pearl Harbor. If you plan on taking a tour of LaJolla, be sure to book one with Tim. You will not be disappointed.

I know I am late with writing this review, but I really wanted to make sure that I did it. My boyfriend and I took this tour in May 2011. The La Jolla Tour with Tim is truly amazing. I am big on bus tours whenever I travel if it is a new destination and I want to see alot in a short time. To begin with, Tim responded to my e-mails, prior to the tour, in a timely fashion. Upon arrival of the tour bus, we I really appreciated that it was him personally doing the tour with us. Tim was EXTREMELY informative throughout the whole tour. He allowed us adequate time to get out and take pictures at La Jolla Cove, Torrey Pines Golf Course, and various other destinations and even a lunch break. He knew so much about the area. We didn’t feel rushed throughout the tour either. If you really want to see La Jolla, you cannot go wrong with this tour. We were very happy with our choice and very grateful that we were able to see amazing places that the city had to offer.

Hi Tim,
Just a little note to thank you for letting us tag along on the La Jolla tour with you. I was so impressed with your knowledge. Being a native San Diegan, I was surprised to learn that I really didn’t know very much about my city. Thanks for the many tidbits of information. By the end of the tour, my head was filled with so much new information. Of course, I had to share it with everyone that I knew. I have spread the good word about you and the sightseeing tour, so I am hoping that you’ll have lots of new clients who can experience the La Jolla Tour with you (and that you will become rich and famous.) You are the perfect tour guide making all of us feel welcomed, relaxed and comfortable. Thank you for an exciting day.

My husband and I took the La Jolla tour. We wanted to be able to see La Jolla without taking the public transportation bus so we signed up for this tour. it ended up being even more than we thought. We saw things we never would have known about. It was such an interesting 5 hours, we wished it was longer! Tim knew so much about the area and was extremely entertaining. Overall it was an excellent tour with an even more excellent tour guide!

I am the author of The Butterfield Messenger book. The book is about the Butterfield Overland Mail ($24.95). The adventure begins with an 18-year old boy from New York City that is hired to be a messenger on the Butterfield Overland Mail stage in Missouri. Over a period of a couple years he worked the stage line on different routes crossing Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California and arrives in San Francisco when the Civil War begins. As you read the book, you will imagine yourself sitting next to the driver for 24-hours or more in brazing hot sun, or a driving rainstorm, maybe in a blinding snowstorm, and it could be freezing cold. Along with the weather, there were hostile Apaches, crossing dangerous rushing rivers, steep mountain roads, and disgruntled passengers that had to get out and push the stage to the top of a pass. And the food was bad with cold beans, crusty cornmeal mush, rancid bacon, roasted beaver tail, raw onions, and wormy crackers. A companion book, The Butterfield Cookbook ($14.95) will teach you to cook 1850s recipes from the Butterfield route. You can purchase both books from the author for $30 postpaid. Send check to: Richard Calhoun, 533 Vandenberg Circle, Roseville, CA 95747. Wholesale prices: 10 Butterfield Messenger $16 each, postpaid and 10 Butterfield Cookbook’s $15 each postpaid.
