Perfect personal La Jolla tour

We enjoyed 4 hours with Julie. She was so kind that we could fully enjoyed our tour. We went to La Jolla district and Admission bay. Thank you so much, Julie.

Super experience. Time flew by!

Tremendous way to kick off a vacation to San Diego. We are two-time return visitors and were surprised at just how much we didn’t know. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect guide than Julie. She is immensely authentic, personable, and a student of the area’s rich history. Don’t expect a rigid tour agenda. Julie is a great people person and naturally inquisitive. With our permission, she adapted the tour in real time as she learned more about our background and interests. This made every site, community, and the stories about them jump out, more relevant, and even more memorable. Julie gets an A+++! We look forward to booking with her again when the time comes!

Operator response

Jason- I’m so pleased that I was the one to start off your trip and show you some of the highlights of the area and some of the hidden gems. I'm glad that you liked all of the locations I showed you and that you now have a better understanding of the lay of the land of America's Finest City. Thank you so much for your review ~Julie
