San Diego walking tour a great history lesson

Ralph_P, Sep 2025

Josh our tour guide was very knowledgeable we were so impressed that we have to revisit San Diego again to visit and see some of the places. We are leaving with a history lesson and learned so much we didn’t know. This should be on everyone’s bucket list. Thanks Josh for the great experience.

My mother and I had an amazing time on our tour. Josh did a great job of explaining the historical and cultural influences to the city and how they affected each other. He also gave great recommendations for restaurants and activities to do throughout the city. We highly recommend this experience if you are visiting San Diego!
