Overview

Charming Coronado is a short ride from downtown San Diego, but it feels like a world away! We'll stroll the streets and look at multi-million dollar homes, beautiful landscaping, unique architecture, and, of course, the beach. After a quick stop for a sweet treat we'll continue to explore this beach town that was home to artists, aviators and innovators.

Meeting points

We will meet near the fountain at this small park. Please allow time for parking, especially during the summer, weekends and holidays.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

  • Coronado Beach

    Routinely voted one of the top 10 beaches in the U.S., Coronado beach offers spectacular views of of Point Loma and, on a clear day, Mexico.

Knowledge and patience! Try Jennifer

Published on Dec, 2024

5! Jennifer knows her stuff. And she was extremely patient with us because I walk slowly due to knee issues. It was just Jennifer, my husband and myself fit this off season walking tour but she was not deterred by such a small group. We saw highlights and we saw things off the beaten track which we would not have seen had we just walked ourselves around without her guidance. We have new insights into the lovely town of Coronado. Thanks , Jennifer!

Walking tour with our elderly parents.

Was a lovely tour and our tour guide Jennifer was a terrific host. We really enjoyed learning more about Coronado and seeing some spots we never would have on our own.

Great tour

Jennifer was a great tour guide!

Published on Oct, 2024

I have always wanted to do this tour, and it did not disappoint! Jennifer was very knowledgeable of the rich history of Coronado. My group enjoyed this tour very much! I recommend to anyone who loves history and architecture (and the beach!) The Del hotel was so nice to see, too!
