Hello there! This is Isabella with the San Diego Free Tour initiative and we offer the most interesting free walking tour in San Diego! It's fun, engaging and full of history! We start at the historic Gaslamp Quarter and then make our way to San Diego Harbor to see USS Midway, the Star Of India, the Unconditional Surrender statue and much more! We end the tour at the Seaport Village which is full of places to eat and rest. The tour lasts for 2 hours and makes a loop so it doesn't end far from where we started! We make plenty of stops and take a bathroom break in the middle of the tour.
Join us for the fun and informative tour and experience beautiful San Diego with us!
We had such a fantastic time on Isabella’s GuruWalk tour of the San Diego Gaslamp Quarter and downtown sightseeings! She guided us through the district’s highlights with incredible energy, charm, and passion for her city. Every step of the way, she kept us hooked with fun facts and unique details that brought the history and culture of the area to life. From the quirky origin of the term “sugar daddy” to the hidden party basements under pubs (once used for disco clubbing and even underground food truck pop-ups), Isabella made sure the tour was full of surprises. I loved learning about the Emerald Building and its jewel connection, the Horton Hotel’s Austrian-inspired design, and the San Diego Convention Center’s architecture inspired by a wave breaking over a cruise ship. Her storytelling was so engaging that the Gaslamp Quarter felt like a living, breathing character itself. Isabella’s enthusiasm is contagious, and she truly makes you fall in love with San Diego all over again. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city (or even locals wanting to see it with new eyes). I can’t wait to read her book when it’s published, if it’s anything like her tours, it’ll be the “finest” book from the “finest” city itself!
