What guests say

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

This was a great experience for our annual girls trip. Jennifer was a fantastic guide (quite funny too) as she showed us around the Coronado peninsula. Very knowledgeable. As a group of 10 we booked a private tour – still very affordable. Be prepared for a lot of walking – but well worth it. There’s also a great gelato break! Really got the insiders point of view about Coronado!”

I was stationed at NTC in 1983, yet I learned things about the base I had never known before. Jennifer was friendly and knowledgable, and also shared some funny stories from her father who was a bootcamp company commander here! At the end you’re treated to a beer or, if you don’t prefer that, a sandwich or whatever you like.

Great tour, great tour guide! Jennifer is knowledgeable, fun, and the whole experience was enjoyable from start to taco & maggie ending! Highly recommend!

Our tour of Balboa Park with Jennifer was fantastic! In two hours we covered much more than if we had toured the park by ourselves. Jennifer was very knowledgeable and personable. She filled in the history of park that we would have never known on our own. This tour is worth it and then stick around after to see more.
