Description:

With its sparkling seaside scenery and vibrant, eclectic downtown, San Diego’s sunny allure makes it one of Southern California’s most beloved destinations. Set out with a local guide to explore the city’s iconic sights and waterfront landmarks on this half-day tour.

Begin your adventure in downtown San Diego as you hop into a comfortable, air-conditioned van for your exploration of America’s Finest City. Pass beneath the illuminated arch that welcomes you to the Gaslamp Quarter and journey to the past. Packed with buildings that date back to the 1880s, this charming neighborhood is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, it bustles 'round the clock, with visitors and locals alike flocking day and night to the city’s liveliest bars, restaurants, and music venues.

Cruise down the Embarcadero, passing by the floating hulk of the USS Midway, the Maritime Museum’s collection of historic sailboats, and memorial sculptures in the harbor’s waterfront parks. Cross the bridge to Coronado to scope out some of San Diego’s best beaches, and see vacationers strolling around the grounds of the luxurious 4-star Hotel del Coronado.

Finally, make your way into Balboa Park’s 1,200 acres (490 ha) of gardens, museums, and charming green spaces. Admire masterpieces of Spanish Colonial architectural masterpieces like the Casa de Balboa, learn about the plants on display in the Botanical Building and the park’s themed gardens, and hear about the exotic creatures that call the San Diego Zoo home before your tour concludes.
