What To Expect

Coronado Island

We'll explore this beach town and delve into its history with artists, aviators and innovators.

Downtown Coronado

Full of quaint shops and prime window shopping, we'll start our tour in the heart of downtown Coronado at Rotary Park. We'll stroll the main street and also get off the beaten path to explore interesting architecture just beyond Orange Avenue. Later we'll grab a snack before we stop by a unique shop.

Coronado Public Library

Established in 1890, this classical revival building was completed in 1909. We'll learn about the man who funded it, the architect who built it, and if open, we'll pop in for a look inside.

Museum of History and Art

We’ll visit a local museum (subject to availability) to look at artifacts and photos that bring the stories of Coronado’s past and citizens to life.

Star Park

This small, circular park is surrounded by beautiful homes, and displays flags and equipment illuminating Coronado’s military past and present.

Coronado Beach

Routinely voted one of the top 10 beaches in the U.S., Coronado beach offers spectacular views of of Point Loma and, on a clear day, Mexico. We’ll talk about the houses that face the beach, and if we’re lucky we’ll see some wildlife in the ocean. Then we'll stroll down to the largest building on the beach - the Hotel del Coronado.

Jennifer was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Coronado. My sisters and I gifted our Mom the walking tour for her birthday. What a way to spend the morning. Pure Delight, the whole experience. I will definitely book Jennifer for one of the other San Diego tours.

Thanks so much for the kind words! It was a delight to be part of your Mom's special day, and to be able to find a time to make it happen. I hope you will be back again and look forward to it. Thanks again!

My husband and I took the "Coronado History and Highlights Tour" and the "Old Town Tales, Tacos and Tequila" Tour with Jennifer last week, and we had such a wonderful time on both tours! On our last day in San Diego, we spent the afternoon touring Coronado Island. We really enjoyed learning not only about the famous Hotel del Coronado, but also about life on the island itself for its residents (both past and present). About halfway through the tour, we stopped at Nado Gelato. A week later, I am still thinking about the lemon zest mascarpone gelato I had! We had dinner reservations at the Hotel del Coronado later that evening, and we truly enjoyed our dinner so much more since we learned about the history of the hotel on our tour with Jennifer that afternoon. The content and the pacing of the tour was perfect, but what truly made the tour stand out was Jennifer. She was extremely knowledgeable and personable; we learned so much on our tour and shared many laughs along the way. If we ever find ourselves back in San Diego, we will definitely take Jennifer's other tours (we had actually walked around Balboa Park on our own and commented that we wish we signed up for Jennifer's tour to understand what we were looking at!). Thanks again Jennifer for a wonderful time showing us around San Diego!

Spending time with you both was such a delight. I'm so glad you booked both tours and enjoyed them. Coronado has many highlights, and one is for sure the gelato. I tell you - that lemon zest mascarpone is like a lemony cloud! So good! I greatly appreciate the kind words here and look forward to your return to San Diego. Thanks again for everything!

Jennifer is very knowledgeable about the history and neat things hiding in plain sight in Coronado. She delivers a great walking tour - good pacing and a special stop for a treat before the end at The Del. Highly recommend if you have a few hours free and find yourself in Coronado!

It was a great afternoon and I'm so glad you joined this tour and enjoyed it. There are lots of interesting things in Coronado beyond the hotel and it's a lot of fun showing them to guests. Many thanks for taking the time to leave such nice feedback here. Hope to see you on another tour soon!
