What guests say

The tour of Coronado was wonderful and informative, but what made it an amazing day was Jennifer, our guide and the owner of San Diego Walks. Of course she was knowledgeable, but also so personable and witty. My wife and I love walking tours to get a flavor of a place, its history, and the culture that shaped it. This tour delivered on all accounts.

Jennifer was fun and knowledgeable. Learned a lot about things I didn’t even know was in Coronado. It was worth the time and money to get to know the town better.

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!
