I live in downtown San Diego along the waterfront. I'm a retired teacher who swims laps and walks daily. I travel the world over but I love my town and wish to share it with visitors!

Tour description

This is a free walking tour of 1.5 hours. We'll be walking along the city's most popular part of its stunning waterfront ( locals refer to it as The Embarcadero) We'll begin at Tuna Harbor Park at the iconic "Kiss Statue". ( see my photos here of this statue) . It is in a park next to the USS Midway, aircraft carrier.  Look for me holding a pink umbrella. I'll tell you about this interesting piece of public art and then show you the nearby  multi- media memorial to our veterans featuring an impressive life-sized depiction of Bob Hope entertaining our troops abroad. We'll continue our stroll south along the waterfront to the historic "Headquarters" and into Seaport Village. There we'll take in the Marina, the "Beach" and continue along the waterfront past shops and restaurants circling back to our starting point via a restaurant which was a popular location of the filming of Top Gun.

This tour begins on the Embarcadero (waterfront) at Tuna Harbor Park next to the iconic "Kiss Statue". I'll be holding a pink umbrella. The park location is just south of the aircraft carrier USS Midway. My photos here will show you where the statue is in relation to the USS Midway. If you are arriving by cruise ship, you will be berthed on one side of the Midway and the Kiss Statue is on the other side of the Midway.
