SAN DIEGO'S NATURE
Beautiful Beaches, Surfer Culture & Coastal Wildlife
San Diego has 70 miles of picturesque coastline which includes 33 beaches. Plus, one of the country’s Top 10 beaches is just outside our city limits — I can take you there via one of the most scenic bridges in the country. We can visit some of the most spectacular spots to view seashore animal wildlife where wild seals and sea lions bask in the sun and where you can check out tidepools teeming with little critters.
SAN DIEGO'S CULTURE
Urban Culture
1200-acre lush Balboa Park is the country’s largest Urban Cultural Park with its 17 museums, 19 gardens, award-winning performance spaces, and famous Zoo. Oh, and did I mention jaw-dropping Mediterranean architecture? I’ll walk you through the highlights of this world-renowned and astonishing backdrop, explain its unique origin, and point out all the photo ops — architectural and floral treasures. And there are plenty of additional cultural, ethnic, and funky sites around the city and county we can explore as well.

SAN DIEGO'S COOKINGS & FARES
Cuisine & Libations
Because we are such a “Foodie” ourselves, we know where to find the tastiest food, scenic, and unique eateries, and hidden local culinary gems most visitors will never discover. Whether you want to try a fish taco (a local specialty which was ‘invented’ here), or the best Mexican food this side of the border, or the freshest locally caught seafood, we can direct you to the standouts in our emerging food scene and our abundance of microbreweries and wineries. California’s first grapes were planted right here in 1769 when the Franciscan Friars needed them for church service.
SAN DIEGO'S STORY
History & Lifestyle
No matter which tour locations you visit, I will take you on a journey where you will experience and more thoroughly understand how San Diego came to be the world-class modern city that it is. We’ll travel through the rich history of San Diego from its discovery by Spanish conquistadores, to the lively and festive Mexican period, to the days when it was the Wild Wild West’s new American frontier. And, of course, we’ll educate you about its present-day standing as the 8th largest city in the USA and what makes it the epitome of Southern California's lifestyle.

TESTIMONIALS & REVIEWS
What our clients say!
Excellent Private USD & UCSD Tour
"Julie put together a comprehensive and thoughtful tour of both UCSD and USD as well as all the surrounding areas. She gave us a great idea of what a prospective student could expect living in San Diego. Excellent."
Fun & Informative Personalized Tour
"My sisters and I thoroughly enjoyed our private tour with Julie. We really felt like we saw the best of La Jolla, much of which is probably overlooked by tourists who strike out on their own. Julie‘s knowledge and love of the area really added to the experience, and we appreciated her tips for further exploration on our own."
Fabulous 2 days Touring
"This was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Julie starts with a phone call to clearly understand what your interests are. From there she maps out a matching itinerary. Each touring was fabulous and very entertaining. Julie is very knowledgeable & entertaining. She also provides lots of helpful info in advance and after the tours. She is one of the best guides we have used over the years and is highly recommended."
