San Diego Highlights Tour
Beskrivelse
Nyd et overblik over San Diegos største seværdigheder og den fantastiske nordlige kystlinje på en heldagstur med et luksuskøretøj, der inkluderer Coronado, Embarcadero og Balboa Park. Tjek steder af interesse i Gaslamp Quarter, hvor du har fri tid til at købe frokost og udforske i ro og mag. Tilbring derefter eftermiddagen i enklaven La Jolla - 'San Diegos juvel' - hvor forrevne kystklipper charmerer alle rejsende, fra både nær og fjern. Vi kræver minimum 4 personer i alt (enlige rejsende er velkomne til at deltage) for at få turen til at gå ud, i tilfælde af at vi ikke opnår 4 gæster, sender vi dig ud på vores kortere version eller giver dig en anden rundvisning til samme værdi eller udstede en fuld refusion! Hvis turen er booket med færre end 4 gæster i alt, laver vi 4 timers versionen af turen. Dette rammer stadig alle interessepunkter, selvom det eliminerer pausen, som vi normalt ville have til frokost. Hvis vi booker mere end 4 gæster, vil den 7 timers tur blive givet.

Rejseplan
Efter at have mødt din indsigtsfulde guide downtown, sæt dig i det komfortable minivan for at starte din daglige udforskning af San Diego, en af de sydlige Californiens mest naturskønne byer. I løbet af denne køretur stopper du på en række førsteklasses steder, hvor du kan hoppe ud af vanen til foto ops og nyde aftappet vand og fået snacks.
San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge er et symbol på San Diego-området, ligesom Golden Gate eller San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridges.
"The Crowned One" på spansk, Coronado Island er en juvel af kysten. Omgivet af sølvfarvede glimmer-laced strande, og fuld af kunstgallerier, små butikker og berømte restauranter, er det et strandparadis. Øen har tiltrukket besøgende siden før 1880'erne og er et must-see for enhver ferierende på udkig efter den SoCal-strandoplevelse.
Den største havn fra øen til San Diego Downtown tilbyder en enestående udsigt over byen. Ikoniske forretninger og restauranter ligger langs kysten, så snart du går væk fra havnen.
Coronado Beach er populær blandt surfere og solbadere. Sandet er sølvfarvet og glat, komplet med baggrund af historiske huse og en hund, der løber i slutningen.
Hotel Del Coronado er en historisk bygning med klassisk lyse rød viktoriansk arkitektur, der overser farvandet i Coronado Beach i 130 år. Kendt for at være vært for mange berømtheder og amerikanske præsidenter, blev Del erklæret et nationalt historisk vartegn i 1977.
Embarcadero ligger langs den østlige del af San Diego Bay, Embarcadero, der betyder "landingssted". Embarcadero er hjemsted for USS Midway Museum, Seaport Village, mange populære moderne restauranter og den berømte Ubetingede Surrender 'Victory Kiss' statue.
Under turen stopper vi ved Gaslamp Quarter for en 1-timers frokostpause. Gaslamp Quarter, kendt som det historiske hjertet af San Diego, er en 16 blok downtown kvarter fuld af natteliv og verdenskendte restauranter. Fuld af victoriansk arkitektur og små museer, samt Horton Plaza Park og Petco Park, er det et must-see.
Balboa Park er en 1200 hektar stor park med museer, den smukke spanske kunstby, restauranter og den verdensberømte San Diego Zoo. Det blev anbragt i reserve i 1835 og er stadig en af Americas ældste offentlige parker, lige i hjertet af downtown San Diego.
Den Rose Garden of Balboa Park har en fantastisk 1.600 roser af 130 arter med nye arter og roser er tilføjet hvert år. Haven er i blomst hele marts til december og er en tre-acre gåtur af farve og skønhed.
Den spanske kunstby blev oprindeligt opført i 1935 for California Pacific International Exposition. Den blev designet som en farverig, levende lille gård, der betød, at man følte sig til at blive transporteret til en landsby i Spanien. I dag er det et blomstrende fællesskab af håndværkere, alt fra smede til glasblæsere til kurvvævere.
Den botaniske bygning huser over 2.100 tropiske planter, bregner og palmer, og fulde af sæsonbetonede blomster alle reflekteret smukt i den lange, glitrende lily dam. Bygget for1915 til 1916 California Pacific International Exposition, er det en unik og vel elsket del af parken.
En pittoresk strand omgivet af vandskårne klipper og fuld af tidepools og yndlingsforseglingsområder. Kystlinjen er beskyttet som en del af en havreservat og fuld af knapt berørt naturskønhed.
El Prado i Balboa Park er et historisk kvarter og en del af det amerikanske nationalregister over historiske steder. Komplekset indeholder Cabrillo Bridge, Museum of Man, Alcazar Garden, den japanske venskabshave, San Diego Museum of Art og meget mere.
Kronet med et hvidt kryds, Mt. Soledad mindesmærker, der bor og døde soldater fra revolutionskriget helt til den moderne krig mod terror. Den har sorte granitplader, der hedder alle fra præsidenter, til den fælles hverdags solidariske beskyttelse af amerikanske friheder.

My husband and I scheduled this tour while we were in San Diego for the weekend to celebrate our 40th anniversary to see the highlights of this beautiful area. This tour did not disappoint and was well worth the price. Our guide, Julia, picked us up promptly at our hotel and the adventure began. Julia is so pleasant, knowledgeable and engaging. She not only showed us so many beautiful and amazing sights, but she shared history, brought extra books to give greater details, and took our photos at amazing stops. Hearing her talk about the Christmas tree at the Hotel Del Coronado immediately stirred in us a desire to return. Her knowledge of downtown San Diego and life there shows us she is definitely apart of her community. The crystal-clear waters of the La Jolla Cove marine sanctuary were a beautiful treat seeing the sea lions lounging on the sandstone cliffs and beach. But my favorite was Balboa Park, the storybook Julia read us about how all the beautiful trees came to be in San Diego with the added hike to view some of them. Again, can’t wait to return and spend more time in nature at Balboa Park. Thank you so much Julia, for helping make our anniversary weekend so special. We highly recommend this tour and even more so, Julia as your guide!!

She is an exceptional guide, and it means so much to know that her knowledge, warmth, storytelling, and attention to detail made such a lasting impression. From the Hotel Del Coronado and downtown San Diego to La Jolla Cove and beautiful Balboa Park, it sounds like you were able to experience so many of the places that make San Diego truly unforgettable. We especially love hearing that the tour inspired you to return and spend even more time exploring our city. That is exactly what we hope for. Thank you again for your kind words, your recommendation, and for allowing us to be a small part of such a meaningful celebration. We hope to welcome you back again soon in San Diego, Los Angeles, or Las Vegas. Warmly, Kenneth C. Lippman President & CEO Another Side Tours, Inc.
Julia was excellent on this solo tour—offering options and choices; using personal experience as a meaningful aspect of her storytelling; and providing a very articulate commentary. Four hours very well spent . I wish it were longer
Hi Alan, Thank you so much for this fantastic review. I love hearing that you felt the four hours were very well spent and that you even wished it were longer. That is truly the greatest compliment we can receive. Julia has a special way of blending personal experience, thoughtful storytelling, and flexibility into each tour so that it feels less like a checklist and more like a meaningful journey through San Diego. Offering options and tailoring the experience, especially on a solo tour, is something we take great pride in. Every guest deserves to feel like the day was designed just for them. I will absolutely share your kind words with Julia. Recognition like this means so much to our team. As a small, family run company, reviews like yours help us continue delivering 5 star experiences not only in San Diego, but also in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Maui. If you ever find yourself back in town, we would love to extend the adventure and show you even more of what our beautiful city has to offer. Thank you again for choosing to spend part of your trip with us. All The Best, Kenneth
We did the 4 hour express tour with Julia and we certainly got our money's worth! Julia was so friendly with a bubbly personality and full of great knowledge and trivia about San Diego. Our day turned rainy later in the morning but Julia anticipated that so she drove us to La Jolla first to see the seals/sea lions and got a good look at a lot of million dollar plus homes! Then off to Coronado Island with a nice stop to go inside the Coronado Hotel. A drive around Balboa park was also interesting and again Julia knew so much about it! We need to come back for a week just to tour Balboa park and all it has to offer next time! Then, with the rain steadily coming down, Julia kindly drove us back to our hotel in the Gas Lamp quarter so we didn't have to walk the few blocks back to it in the rain! Thank you so much Julia! And a shout out to Kenneth also from Another Side of San Diego Tours for contacting me a few weeks prior to our stay about the original tour we had booked and helped us reschedule to this tour. He was so helpful and kind over the phone!
Hi Navigate26010963513, Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review. I love the way you described your day, and I am so glad Julia was able to pivot with the weather and make the most of every moment. Starting in La Jolla to catch the sea lions and those beautiful coastal homes before the rain rolled in is exactly the kind of proactive hosting we pride ourselves on. From Coronado Island and stepping inside the historic Hotel del Coronado, to exploring Balboa Park and finishing comfortably back at your hotel in the Gaslamp Quarter, it sounds like the day flowed just as it should. Julia truly does bring that bubbly energy and deep local knowledge that turns a tour into something memorable, and I will be sure to share your kind words with her. Recognition like this means so much to our guides. I also appreciate the shout out regarding the rescheduling before your trip. Taking care of guests before they even arrive in San Diego is something I take personally. I am glad we were able to adjust your plans smoothly and get you into the Highlights Express Tour that worked best for your stay. Your comment about needing a full week just to explore Balboa Park made me smile. There is so much history, culture, and beauty there that one visit only scratches the surface. We would absolutely love to host you again whenever you return. As a small, family run company, reviews like yours truly help support our team and allow us to continue delivering 5 star experiences in San Diego, as well as Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Maui. If you ever know anyone traveling our way, your referral means the world to us. Thank you again for spending part of your trip with us. All The Best, Kenneth

We had a wonderful day with Julia our tour guide and driver. She knew so much about the history of the area and the plants and wildlife. We liked that we got to get out and walk around at different times. We really feel that we learned the lay of the land. Julia told us many stories about people who were important to the area. We were lucky to have 80 degrees and sunshine. Thanks Julia!

This tour is fantastic! Julia, our tour guide was outstanding! She is very knowledgeable and personable. After starting out downtown, we went to Coronado Island, Balboa Park, and La Jolla. You also see a lot on the way to these places. Julia shared a lot about the history of San Diego. This was my first guided tour of San Diego and I learned so much! We were a group of six counting Julia. I highly recommend this 7 hour tour! Fun day!

Julia was a great tour guide. You can see that she really loves San Diego and even though she has lived there a long time, she is still learning more about it every day. We only wish we could have spent more time watching the sea lions and maybe some less time at other stops.

The overview of San Diego was one of our best-ever VIATOR tours Julia is an excellent guide. She is friendly, helpful, and obviously loves the city. She has an in-depth knowledge of its history, as well as the old and the new parts of San Diego. She had fun behind the scene stories to share. We shopped, ate great food and saw absolutely beautiful spots in and around the city. Our seven hour tour was priceless. We will recommend this tour to friends who plan to visit San Diego.
