Charlie was an amazing guide. His knowledge (and pride) about the city of San Diego, after living here for 50 years, is total. I have done many free tours and I was impressed by the level of knowledge and passion of Charlie. Definitely a must!

I had such a fantastic time on Isabella’s tour of the San Diego Gaslamp Quarter, downtown sightseeings, and the embarcadero village! She guided us through the different district’s highlights with incredible energy, charm, and passion for her city. Every step of the way, she kept us hooked with fun facts and unique details that brought the history and culture of the area to life. From the splurgy origin of the term “sugar daddy” to the hidden party basements under pubs (once used for disco clubbing and even underground food truck pop-ups), Isabella made sure the tour was full of surprises. I loved learning about the Emerald Building and its jewel connection, the Horton Hotel’s Austrian-inspired design, and the San Diego Convention Center’s architecture inspired by a wave breaking over a cruise ship. Her storytelling was so engaging that the city felt like a living, breathing character itself. Isabella’s enthusiasm is contagious, and she truly makes you fall in love with San Diego all over again. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city (or even locals wanting to see it with new eyes). I can’t wait to read her book when it’s published, if it’s anything like her tours, it’ll be the “finest” book from the “finest” city!

I like the concept of a “Pay What You Wish” Walking Tour, and our guide Tana was knowledgeable, friendly, and had some great recommendations for food and activities. Our group was on the smaller side, so she was able to share her local perspective and the history she shared on San Diego architecture and people was very interesting!
