Free walking tours in San Diego

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!

Such a fun tour with great information! Will definitely recommend to friends!

Great tour

Places you can easily visit by yourself. Not very surprised by the info and comments of the guru this time.

Isabella es una excelente guía. A lo largo del tour fuimos visitando puntos emblemáticos del centro de San Diego a medida que Isabella nos compartía información sobre el lugar lo que nos permitió conocer cosas que de otra forma no podríamos. Súper recomendado

Isabella was amazing. She is knowledgeable and continue to learn and research to give even more fun facts of this great finest city. San Diego is lucky to have her represent this place and share stories with the world. Mahalo Isabella Czarina

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Vormittag im Gaslight District und an der Wharf mit Iryina. Sie war eine exzellente Führerin, konnte sehr viel zur Geschichte und Entwicklung San Diegos erzählen. Es hätte nicht besser sein können, danke
