Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the USS Midway tour? I'm thinking of getting this for my kids.

A: There’s no strict age limit for the USS Midway tour, so it’s perfect for kids! Just keep in mind that some areas may require adult supervision, especially on the flight deck. It’s a hands-on experience and most children love exploring the aircraft. Just make sure to bring a hat and sunscreen since you'll be outside for a bit.

Q: Can you reschedule if the weather is bad? I want to plan this for my friend's birthday.

A: Yes, you can reschedule if the weather is really bad! Just reach out to the provider a day or two in advance, and they’ll help you find a new date. They seem really accommodating, so you should be good to go.

Q: What should I wear for the Balboa Park part of the tour? Any suggestions?

A: Definitely wear comfy shoes since there’s a good amount of walking involved in Balboa Park. Layered clothing is a smart choice too, as it can get a bit warm during the day but cooler in the evening. Sun hats and sunglasses are also a must!

Thinking of gifting the LA to San Diego tour - is it worth it?

Hey everyone! I'm looking at the LA to San Diego History, Harbor & USS Midway tour for my brother’s birthday, and it sounds amazing! I've heard the USS Midway experience is super cool, plus the Harbor cruise looks stunning. Anyone done this? How's the timing? I’m worried it might feel rushed.

Just got back from the San Diego tour - WOW!

I just got back from the LA to San Diego day tour, and it was an incredible experience! The USS Midway was so fascinating, and the views from the harbor cruise were like something out of a postcard. Balboa Park was also gorgeous! Highly recommend if you’re thinking of a gift. Just make sure to wear comfy shoes and hydrate!
