Please note that you are responsible for the transportation to the Train Station in San Diego in the morning and getting home from the train station in San Diego in the evening after the train brings you back from LA. We book the round-trip train tickets for you through Amtrak, we handle your transportation in LA and we book you onto our semi-private daily sightseeing tour. This tour is usually 14 to 15 hours depending on the train station departure time (usually around 6am). We handle everything else in LA. We pick you up at Union Station and either take you back to the train station ourselves or we pay for a transfer to return you to Union Station at the conclusion of the tour.
