Out of the Ordinary - Tours & Teambuilding Adventures
Multi-city
We create group bonding experiences that bring your team together. In the spring of 2003, Marc & Darlynne Menkin decided to try something new. At the time, Marc was in sales and Darlynne was a TV news reporter and anchor. Life was sweet but Marc yearned to do something more creative. People often commented how Marc’s natural curiosity and talent for discovering hidden San Diego gems would make him the perfect tour guide, and that’s how the journey began. After much encouragement from friends, the couple launched Where You Want To Be Tours in 2003, a company that offers tours to secret San Diego spots. Eventually, they added fun team building activities to their menu and today, the Menkins are known for their innovative Urban Challenge Scavenger Hunts. In 2015, Where You Want To Be Tours merged with Out of the Ordinary, an award-winning team building company that was founded in 1996 by Carrie Ellwood. Together, the two companies are a major force in the team building and tourism industry and have won numerous awards including Best Team Building and Best Tour Operator by California Meetings & Events and Best Tours for Locals by San Diego Magazine.
