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.
Naoki- it was my true pleasure to take you both around and show you our beautiful coastline and explain about our culture and lifestyle. I'm glad you were able to see another part of San Diego that you had wanted to visit. Thank you so much for your kind review ~ Julie
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!
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

Isabelle- it was my pleasure and honor to take you around San Diego. I'm glad we got to see so much and that you loved all the locations I brought you to. I truly hope you can come back and spend some more time here again. Thank you so much for your review! ~Julie
