See San Diego’s best sights on a half-day, guided city tour that makes it easy to experience a lot in a little time. You’ll meet downtown (or upgrade to hotel pickup) and ride with a local guide to the city’s most iconic stops. Cruise over the Coronado Bridge to explore Coronado Island, stroll Orange Avenue, and snap photos at the legendary Hotel del Coronado. Then head back through the Historic Gaslamp Quarter and past Petco Park before diving into Balboa Park’s gardens, architecture, and cultural landmarks.
