Screw these guys -- I took a glorious, 2-person 1.5- mile ride from one of their pedicab riders, which turned out to be $80. The rate is sort of posted ("$15-$40 per passenger) but I hadn't noticed "per passenger". So I tried to haggle a little, but he wouldn't budge, noting that VIP takes a 50% cut. I said that's outrageous, and he said I should write them a bad review and maybe they'd treat their riders better. So here it is: VIP is exploiting their hard-working pedicab operators at OUR expense. My wife thought it was worth it; I say, screw these guys.

Had a blast!!! We were in San Diego for a week, I'm a country guy by heart but for the city life we loved this city.
Looking for things to do this was a perfect way to get around town and also get some local knowledge of what to do! What a cool activity to do while hanging in the city.. I highly recommend you take a drive at night at least once.

VIP Pedicab was excellent to work with to make my client's vision come to life. They were very communicative and got every detail perfect, down to the detailed time/location schedule we asked them to keep to. Highly recommend!
