We often serve tour guests who visit San Diego year-after-year so don’t let the concept of an ‘introduction’ dissuade you since we always open visitors’ eyes to many scenic view points and fascinating historical facts they had never seen or learned on their previous visits. Read about our public City Tour and Coastal Tour pages to get ideas on what you would like to see and we’ll customize it from there.

We will either join guests in their own car or we will arrange transportation in a town car or Mercedes Sprinter van depending on your needs.

Walking Tours of La Jolla

Guests typically join us for a two hour walking tour that will provide an introduction to the seals, sea lions, pelicans, and cormorants that live along the La Jolla coastline. Along the way, we will visit postcard perfect, scenic viewpoints that most people do not realize exist. We’ll learn about the pioneering women who shaped La Jolla into the vibrant community it has become today. We’ll also learn about some of fascinating history of national significance that has taken place in the area.

We’ll give you an introduction to the shops and art galleries in the Village. We can answer any questions you have about La Jolla or the greater San Diego area. We’ll also provide you an area map, visitor guide, and other resources to help you make the most of your visit to La Jolla.
