“Took the one-day tour from Long Beach with Sunseeker. The drive was surprisingly enjoyable—Alberto was great, and we had a sing-along along the way. We hit all the key spots without feeling rushed. It started out cloudy, but the sun made an appearance by the end—so I guess Sunseeker delivered.”

“Alberto was a wonderful host for the day! He was very knowledgeable about the area, and gave recommendations of what to check out during our stops. We enjoyed all of the sights and stops offered on this tour. We were picked up from the cruise port and dropped off for our early evening flight - the perfect way to spend our last day rather than sitting in the airport all day!”
Explore the Queen Mary in Long Beach with guided history and ghost stories, WWII details, and access to the ship’s engineering spaces.
“I absolutely loved the tour we went on! Loved all the detail and clear passion our guide Christina had for the ship and the paranormal. She had a great sense of humor and a TON of knowledge to share. The artworks and history and unexplainable phenomenon were so delightful to experience and I am so glad I got to cross this tour off my bucket list. We really got to see the ship's beauty and there was an intentionally cultivated atmosphere of respect for both the ship and all her inhabitants. Absolutely recommend :))”

“We were privileged to take this tour with John, with Sunseeker Tours! He was not only a wealth of knowledge but also humorous, courteous, and a wonderful driver! He took every one of our questions seriously, And enthralled us with not just facts but anecdotes that created a picture we would easily remember, and would laugh about! 🙂 We traveled, laughed, visited many attractions, including the Classic Mel’s Diner for lunch, which was a wonderful stop and lunch! We saw seals on the pier, had delicious chocolate gelato with salted caramel topping at a little ice cream shop at the Fisherman’s village! Although we were from many different places, John…”
