Enjoy hotel pick-up and drop-off by your private driver-guide, who will escort you throughout the day.
Visit stunning La Jolla Cove and enjoy marine life and the bay. Take a photo stop at Soledad Mountain with amazing views of downtown San Diego, Tijuana, Mexico, and Mission Bay.
Walk around San Diego Old Town and the Spanish Mission. Enjoy a great lunch at one of the authentic Mexican restaurants on San Diego Avenue.
Learn about Balboa Park, San Diego’s World Fair location. Visit the Botanic Garden and see the several great museums and Rose Gardens.
Visit Cabrillo National Monument and enjoy another stunning view of Downtown San Diego, Coronado Island and Tijuana Beach.
Enjoy a walk around the waterfront, with a photo stop at the famous USS Midway, before exploring Gaslamp Quarter.
Your guide will happily give you dinner recommendations in the Gaslamp Quarter or take you back to your hotel to end your day.

On this fascinating in-depth Private Full-Day San Diego Highlights tour, you will discover much about California’s second-largest city, from its ‘discovery’ by Rodriguez Cabrillo in 1542, to the indigenous Kumeyaay peoples who occupied the area 12,000 years prior to European arrival. Learn about the settlement of San Dieguito and the cultural, socio-political and historical developments that powered it to a city of a population of 1.4 million. With a deeply embedded Mexican heritage, the legacy of San Diego’s place in the Mexican Empire from 1821 is a fascinating story. An Italian community, established in Waterfront Park in the early 19th century, has also shaped the culture of the city. See for yourself why San Diego – or Sandie as the locals call it – is dubbed America’s Finest City.

On the San Diego Private Half-Day Highlights tour, you will visit several of the city’s major historical sites –including Cabrillo National Monument and Balboa Park, quaint neighbourhoods, and Coronado Island – a picturesque peninsula blessed by gorgeous beaches, tidal pools, and coves. Soak up the buzz of the Gaslamp Quarter, the architecture of Old Town, and the sprawling green space of Balboa Park. San Diego offers plenty of mouth-watering options for lunch, from delicious fish tacos to homemade pasta, and your guide will happily direct you to their favourites in Old Town. Visit a local beach, and enjoy a laid-back hippy vibe and browse artisan trinkets before returning to explore the Gaslamp Quarter. At the end of the tour, your guide will drop you off back at your hotel or somewhere central of your choosing.
