Every Group Is Different - Reach Out and Let's Build Something Around Yours
San Diego Walks takes you to the places already on your list - Balboa Park, Old Town, Coronado, Liberty Station - but goes deeper, uncovering the people, history, and stories behind those places that most visitors, even longtime locals, never know about.
Whether you’re interested in art, architecture or the cultures that came before and are still here, San Diego's history is rich and layered and we'll make sure your tour reflects the parts that matter most to you.
As a woman-owned small business, we are proudly independent and deeply rooted in this community. That’s why every tour we offer includes another locally owned business, thereby doubling the impact of your tourism dollars.
What We Offer
Small group walking tours
Our walking tours are intentionally small group experiences, designed to feel personal rather than packaged.

Our scavenger hunts bring the same spirit of discovery to corporate outings, conferences, and special events.
Local Guide services for operators & groups
Step-on guides and custom experiences bring our local expertise for tour operators and conference organizers.
Meet Jennifer H
Our owner Jennifer H has been sharing this San Diego’s stories since 2002, starting as a local step-on guide, then as the owner of San Diego Urban Adventures, and since 2021 as the founder of San Diego Walks. With a background in history and a Master's in Hospitality and Tourism Management from SDSU,
Jennifer is a San Diego native and storyteller at heart. She built this business around a genuine belief that the best way to experience a city is to give voice to the people who came before and shaped it into what it is today.
Every tour can be tailored to you
San Diego's history moves through several distinct eras - Native American, Spanish colonial, Mexican, and American - and each left a visible mark on the city's architecture, culture, and neighborhoods.
Whether your interest is architecture, art, military history, or the many cultures that shaped this city from its earliest origins to today, we can build a tour around what matters most to you. Private and custom tours are available for individuals, families, and groups of all sizes.
Proudly local, twice over
Every ticket supports two local businesses: ours, and a handpicked San Diego neighbor that's part of every experience.
Supporting local businesses supports the whole community. Choosing San Diego Walks means investing in the city you came to explore.
Whatever brings you to San Diego - we'd love to be part of the experience.
