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.
Customizable Team Building Activities

Team Building & Scavenger Hunts

Looking for a team building experience that people will actually enjoy?

Our scavenger hunts take your group out of the conference room and into some of San Diego's most beautiful and historic settings, putting real group skills like communication, problem-solving, and collaboration to work in a way that never feels like work.

Designed to keep the focus on your teammates rather than your devices, every experience is customized to fit your group's size and goals.

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

Jennifer was fantastic! So engaging and full of historic information about the neighborhood. It was perfectly paced and the lunch at the end was delicious and so much fun!

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 had such a wonderful and personal experience on our Old Town San Diego Tacos and Tequila tour with Jennifer. She shared so much history and fun facts that really brought the area to life. The fresh tortilla tasting was incredible, and the tacos and tequila were absolutely delicious. Jennifer made the whole thing felt relaxed and genuine, like exploring with a friend who knows all the best spots. We’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting San Diego!

My sister and I recently went on a San Diego Walks tour of Coronado Island and had a wonderful time touring around the island and learning about its history, notable residents, and seeing a few of its gorgeous architecture. I highly recommend this tour!
