Iconic San Diego: Hidden in Plain Sight

San Diego Walks takes you beneath the surface of this city's most iconic places, uncovering the stories and history that most people never get to hear.

Small groups, expert guides, and itineraries built with care, every experience is designed to leave you with a deeper appreciation for everything that makes San Diego truly special.

What Sets Us Apart

A Local Expert at Your Side

Not a script, not a headset, a real guide who knows this city inside and out and genuinely loves sharing it. Jennifer has been leading San Diego tours since 2002.

Small Groups by Design

Intimate by intention. Our tours are capped at 15 guests so every experience feels personal rather than packaged, you get a guide, not a crowd manager.

The Stories Behind the Places

Carefully curated itineraries that go beyond the highlights and into the history, culture, and character of San Diego's most celebrated neighborhoods.

Proudly Local, Twice Over

Every ticket supports two local businesses, ours and a handpicked San Diego neighbor that is part of every experience.

What guests say

Had a great tour of Balboa Park with Jennifer. It was a small tour of 4 people which made it easy to hear her and the information provided. There is a lot of history and detail that would be missed if never taking the tour. The drinks provided were a nice treat too. Highly recommend the tour for first timers and for people who have been before to learn more about the history of the park.”

The Old Town tour with Jennifer was outstanding. Jennifer is a great guide and the food / drink component at the end was a great way to close out the experience

We felt lucky to have Jennifer to ourselves on our Coronado tour. Her knowledge of the peninsula in terms of culture, history, food, and changing environment was endless. We gained tidbits of knowledge that we never would have read in a book. And the Gelato was fabulous! My husband and I enjoyed our walking tour immensely; it was a highlight of our trip.”

Jennifer was a fantastic tour guide! She is very knowledgeable and you can tell she loves her city! She made the tour both enjoyable and informative. The park is large and we wouldn’t have been able to navigate it effectively with the time we had available without her valuable introduction

We toured Coronado Island last week and absolutely loved it. Jennifer was our guide, and she was wonderful from start to finish. She brought the island’s history to life, shared great stories about the people who’ve lived there, and gave us fascinating details about the Coronado Hotel. The 2.5‑hour walking tour was enjoyable and never felt long because Jennifer made it such a great experience. Thank you, Jennifer — you made our visit unforgettable!
