10.GPS Guided Coronado Electric Scooter Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 5 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $137

Ride an electric scooter from San Diego to Coronado, taking the ferry with your scooter and following a GPS audio guide to Hotel del Coronado. You get a safety lesson, helmet, photo stops, and about three hours on the road. The route includes busy streets before the quieter island ride.

“We were totally misinformed about this tour. We were told that we were to meet at ferry. Unfortunately when we got to our meet location that we had to travel some 25 minutes on main roads and highways to get to the Island. This was not something my wife and I were willing to risks as seniors in our 70’s. We tried a different tour in a Gocar but this turned out to be a disaster. We should in all fairness get a full refund but thus far the Viator customer support is useless. Ugh”
