This is a waste of money if you're just looking to not get lost. There's no clear access code on the ticket and who is going to spend time on contacting support when you can clearly see where you need to go right in front of you.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thanks for the feedback. The access code is included in the confirmation email you receive from Viator under the “Important – Please Read” section. We also send reminder messages through Viator three days before and again the day before to help make access easier. The experience isn’t meant as a navigation tool; it’s designed to share the history, stories, and people who shaped La Jolla as you walk past some of the notable landmarks and viewpoints. We’re sorry the access instructions weren’t easier to locate, and we appreciate you giving it a try.

This was a beautiful walk...

This was a beautiful walk along the coastline of La Jolla that ended with a stroll through downtown. Come prepared for changing weather.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, always good to carry layers this time of year. Thank you for leaving us a review!

Poor quality

Dixie_S, Aug 2025

Couldn't get the app to work...was waste of money trying ...spent to much time trying to figure it out...gave up

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Hi Dixie, sorry to hear you had trouble with the app, that's not the experience we want. If you had reached out we would have been happy to walk you through it. Your activation code is still valid, and we’d be happy to help you get started or issue you a full refund if you prefer. Please contact us directly so we can make this right for you.

Informative and fun!

This was a really fun tour I did with my children. Of course the most memorable moment was seeing the seals and sea lions. It was nice to hear the tour guide mention the difference between the two. I also would have never known why it was originally called “children’s pool”. I’m so glad we did this tour. It took us to some incredible places and the information was so interesting.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thanks for the review, we're glad you enjoyed the tour!

Feels like a local's guide to La Jolla

William_B, Apr 2024

This walking tour hit all the top spots around La Jolla Village. It was nice learning more about all the beaches and coastal parks. Restaurant recommendations were great. Also had so many hidden facts about the area. Who knew there was an actual smugglers cove in La Jolla? Highly recommended!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Glad you enjoyed the tour and thanks for leaving a review!

Beautiful. Suprisingly Breathtaking.

Being up close to the marine life(seals, birds). The cliffs and the waves are breathtaking. Sunset was Pure Awesomeness!!!

Wonderful afternoon in La Jolla

Aimee_L, Nov 2023

The tour’s local insights brought La Jolla’s history to life, while the picturesque views of cliffs and marine life added a touch of natural beauty. A perfect blend of culture and scenery for an immersive experience. The interactive map also enhanced my exploration, it was very user-friendly.
