What To Expect
1
La Jolla Cove
Welcome to beautiful, historic, and scenic La Jolla! Although technically part of San Diego, you'll soon find that this neighborhood has a character and history uniquely its own.
2
La Jolla Cove Bridge Club
This is the La Jolla Cove Bridge Club, and it's a clue as to how La Jolla got to where it is today.
3
Ellen Browning Scripps Park
We're walking through Ellen Browning Scripps Park, named for one of the most important figures behind La Jolla's rapid expansion.
4
Cuvier Park - The Wedding Bowl
On your right is Cuvier Park, the most popular place in San Diego to tie the knot. In fact, it's such a beloved destination for soon-to-be-married couples that some call it The Wedding Bowl. Given its picturesque location by the water, I'm sure you can see why.
5
St James by-The-Sea Episcopal Church
Do you see a peach-colored belltower ahead? That's St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church. It dates to 1908 and, like much of La Jolla, owes its existence to Ellen Scripps.
6
Athenaeum Music and Arts Library
The white Spanish-revival building with terracotta shingles and arched windows is a must for lovers of the arts. It's the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library.
7
Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial
Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial Considered one of the most unique veterans memorials in America. The only memorial that honors veterans, living or deceased, from the revolutionary war to the current war on terror, with an image of the veteran.
8
Windansea Beach
Windansea is what’s known as a surf break. Rocky obstructions under the water here cause waves to break and also form those classic barrel-shaped curls that make for radical surfing.

Thanks so much for your feedback, Medina! I'm thrilled that my tour of Ultimate Lake Tahoe added to your learning and that you enjoyed it. I also have 100 other self-guided tours for other parks, scenic drives, cities, and historic sites in the US — hopefully, you’ll get the chance to try them next time! Also, just to remind you, the tour you bought is yours for a lifetime. So, you can listen to it at home or on your next visit.

This was a very disappointing experience, and not worth the money. It was just as easy to figure out one’s way around.

The tour was terrible. It took you back and forth in the same areas and would not continually play even when im an area that is marked for the tour. Drive la Jolla and explore on your own. You will have a better experience

Hmm, it sounds like something else went wrong. Both the driving tour and the walking tour are one-way only, through the most popular part of La Jolla, so it’s pretty easy to follow (mostly a straight line). Going “reverse” may have led to some confusion overturns/directions — is that what happened? We strongly advise following the route and instructions for the best experience. We also have nearly 24-hour support for ANY questions, confusion, issues, or problems! Please don’t hesitate to reach out while you’re touring so we can make sure you have a fantastic experience!
