Frequently asked questions
What locations are included in the San Diego Bestie Tour?
We start in downtown San Diego to learn about the history of the city and see the buildings that make up the Gaslamp District. Then we heard over to picturesque SeaPort Village, a quaint village nestled in downtown along the waterfront filled with shops and amazing views of the bay. Then we head up to the vibrant Little Italy neighborhood for local cafes and boutiques. Next up is our famous Balboa Park for museums, gardens and Spanish Revival architecture. Finally we land in Liberty Station which is an exciting urban area, home to a dynamic ARTS DISTRICT, Liberty Public Market, great restaurants, unique shops, and fun recreational offerings along the bay.
What locations are included in the La JOlla Bestie Tour?
We begin our adventure exploring the charming streets of downtown La Jolla, filled with boutique shops, art galleries, and cafe, then down to La Jolla Cove to marvel at the breathtaking ocean views and playful sea lions while strolling along this iconic spot. Next stop along the coast is La Jolla Shores where we can enjoy the soft sand and gentle waves at this serene beach. Continuing down the coast to my fav, Windansea Beach which is known for its rugged beauty and famous surf shack. Just south is Bird Rock., a micro-neighborhood unto itself. This hidden gem is an easily walkable four-block stretch of La Jolla Boulevard that has a feel all its own. Mt. Soledad is where we end our tour at an iconic lookout point, where sweeping 360-degree views of La Jolla and the surrounding areas provide the ultimate grand finale for your day.
