We booked a tour hiking Torrey Pines Nature Preserve with Five Star Tours (Alfonso) while in San Diego. Alfonso was an excellent tour guide; he provided lots of information about the area, but most importantly, he was personable and made us feel instantly at ease. In fact, we liked Alfonso so much that we booked another tour later in the week. We asked Alfonso to put together a tour of some beautiful coastal areas, and he did not disappoint. He took us to several sites that were exactly what we were hoping to see. We highly recommend Five Star Tours, and especially Alfonso. He made our trip to San Diego truly memorable.
