Another Side Of San Diego Tours
After taking a seat in the comfortable sightseeing van, your tour will depart for a fun and exciting experience. Your professional guide will escort you throughout some of the most renowned parts of San Diego.
San Diego is sometimes described as "All that California is" - family friendly wholesomeness, exciting nightlife, gorgeous natural beauty and stunningly crafted architecture too. These attributes combine to create a 'feel' and an atmosphere that defy easy description, but make themselves intrinsically known to visitors. This 3-hour tour will show you why this spectacular city beckons Californians and travelers from far abroad alike to sink their toes into sand and their souls into the fabric of this vibrant place.
Throughout this tour you'll get to stop and see lots of beautiful areas throughout the city. A few key spots include Coronado, The Hotel Del Coronado, El Prado, the historic Gaslamp Quarter, Embarcadero, and the incredible Balboa Park.
2
Coronado Bridge
Built in 1969, the Coronado Bridge spans more than 11,000 feet and rises 200ft at maximum clearance. At it's base on the San Diego side sits the Chicano Park, and the bridge is easily visible from both the coast and the air. It's now as synonumous with San Diego as the Golden Gate bridge is with San Francisco.
3
Embarcadero
The Embarcadero lays along the eastern side of San Diego Bay, Embarcadero meaning "landing place". The Embarcadero is home to the USS Midway museum, Seaport Village, many popular modern restaurants, and the famous Unconditional Surrender 'victory kiss' statue.
4
Gaslamp Quarter
The Gaslamp Quarter, known as the Historic Heart of San Diego, is a 16 block downtown neighborhood full of nightlife and world-renowned restaurants. Full of Victorian architecture and small museums, as well as Horton Plaza Park and Petco Park, it's a must-see.
5
Balboa Park
Balboa Park is a 1,200 acre park full of museums, the beautiful Spanish Art Village, restaurants and the world-famous San Diego Zoo. It was placed in reserve in 1835 and remains one of Americas oldest public parks, right in the heart of downtown San Diego.
6
El Prado
The El Prado in Balboa Park is a historic district and part of the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The complex contains the Cabrillo Bridge, the Museum of Man, Alcazar Garden, the Japanese Friendship Garden, the San Diego Museum of Art and much more.

My tour guide's expert input. I started the tour thinking that 3 hours would be way too long. I ended the tour thinking 3 hours is way too short. Kevin is an excellent and knowledgeable guide. The whole experience was A1. Great value for the price.

What a city and what a tour! Beautiful tour with knowledgeable, attentive, and impressive guides, Jeremy and Jeff. So glad that we took this tour on our first day of vacation. Balboa Park was filled with interest, and it is unlikely that hours of research could duplicate the introduction to this 1,200 acre gift from forward thinkers of years past.
The Hotel Del Coronado was like stepping back in the time before income tax. We completed the tour with a mental map of San Diego from Little Italy to Coronado Island, and with an entertaining, introductory college level history course of San diego past and present. We recommend that you take this efficient and delightful tour.
BTW, my wife approves this message.
