Want to tour the city with a new local friend? San Diego Walks knows San Diego as only locals do, and our knowledgeable guides want to show you around neighborhoods like Balboa Park, Liberty Station and Coronado and Old Town. You won't get lost in a crowd as our tours are small (1-15 guests), and depart five days a week. We get off the beaten path and take advantage of some of the city's best locally-owned restaurants with included food or drinks (no chain restaurants or bad souvenirs!). You'll learn about the people who shaped San Diego's past, and what lies ahead for its future.
