Historical Walking Tour of San Diego

We really enjoyed our tour with Josh - he provided great historical insights and was helpful with recommendations. Well worth the time and money.

Great tour! Loved getting a foundational understanding of San Diego. Lots of fun facts along the way and I have a deeper appreciation for the city now.

Josh was on time, very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He made the tour fun and interesting. We learned a lot about San Diego and he gave us great ideas for activities and places to visit during our stay.

Fantastic tour hosted by Josh! Got lucky on an off day where I was the only one joining the tour, so Josh was able to spend a nice amount of time answering questions and we kept up together at a much more urban walking pace without having to wait for others. Even though I am SoCal born and bred, Josh shared so much about San Diego's place in the world stage that never made it to my K-12 California history books, especially when they hosted the Panama-California exposition (aka the city development equivalent of the Olympics, world cup, world's fair etc). It offered a really great appreciation for the city even though I have been a visitor before, and why things came to be especially with the history in the early 1900s, the zoo, and Balboa Park. Great tour if you love history and a bit of urban planning or architecture!

Josh led us on a great tour of downtown San Diego. He told us all about the history from the 1500’s to present day. It was perfectly paced and very interesting. Highly recommend!

Amazing that during a leisurely 1 mile walk in about an hour- we learned a wealth of information about the founding of San Diego to present day. Josh covered moments of cultural significance, noteable architectural highlights and the role the Navy has played in the past and modern contexts. I was in town on a business trip and this was the perfect activity to gain perspective of the city (all too often I only leave with an understanding of the hotel I'm in with no chance to learn more!) at an incredibly reasonable price point of $15. Josh is knowledgeable, easy going and charming - this tour will not disappoint.

Josh is the best tour guide! As a San Diegan, I was excited to learn so much about our city and its history, and Josh did a great job giving an overview while being very engaging and entertaining. I’d highly recommend this tour for both visitors and locals!

Josh is a knowledgeable, friendly tour guide who was able to give us a great history of the formation of the San Diego area.

Josh was an excellent guide. Even though we were the only ones on the tour that evening, he still took us. He provided so much interesting information about San Diego's history. He was humorous and kind, making us feel comfortable to spend time with him. It was a tour we would have paid a lot more for in another city. Thank you, Josh!

We enjoyed our walking tour of downtown San Diego with Josh very much. The tour was educational and Josh was very knowledgable. We would highly recommend it.
