Beautiful Day to tour Coronado! - Jennifer was amazing and very accommodating walking this old lady and her daughter around beautiful Coronado Island! She was very knowledgeable and made our experience once in a lifetime. We loved that she made it personal and took us to places the locals go. We especially loved the tour of the library with the cool artwork. We highly recommend this tour and Jennifer! Make sure you wear your walking shoes!

Informative history tour of Coronado - Informative, easy walking tour with our knowledgeable guide, Jennifer. We love Coronado and it was interesting to learn more about the history of the peninsula and town. The highlight for us was our last stop at the Hotel Del Coronado where we honeymooned almost 50 years ago. Big changes, but still as beautiful as ever! 😍

Great tour to book! - Jennifer gave us such a great tour! She was so knowledgeable about Coronado and able to answer all our questions. We were so glad we booked it. It really elevated the time we spent on the island. My parents asked how much the tour was at the end and they were both surprised because they thought it was such a good deal for what we got (and they are very frugal people). If you have a chance to do this tour, definitely do! Also, the tour ends at the Hotel del Coronado, so if you're with people who would enjoy having a drink/eating dinner there, then that would be a great way to end the day. We had another activity booked so we couldn't hang out but I wish we did!

Fantastic Walking Tour - Our guide was Jennifer. She is a true historian. I was so impressed with her ability to explain complexities in words I could easily understand. We learned so much about the area, the architecture, the people who founded the area, and the relationship of the past vs the present. Jennifer made our tour enjoyable and fun. We went on two different walking tours with Jennifer and on both walking tours, it was a real bonus to stop for coffee on one and gelato one another.
