Go with Melissa! - Melissa did a phenomenal job. Not only did she have all the insights into the local history & tour but she also had the kind of energy & knowledge you want in a tour guide. Would recommend her to anyone!

Nice walking tour - Our group enjoyed this outing. All 4 of us live local so it was cool to get some background history of San Diego. We did spend a lot of time eating vs walking. And it would have been nice to go in to different historical buildings

Sabotaged by guests who didn’t read what the tour included. - I think the tour would’ve been fine. We actually did the brothels bites and brews tour. There were some people who showed up who did not wanna walk. They did not drink alcohol and they basically didn’t eat the food. They also did not listen to the tour guide so they kind of sabotaged our experience and I was not happy with that. It’s a very difficult situation, but the tour company needs to figure out how to handle that so that the rest of the guests are able to have the regular tour that they were expecting.

Utterly dissapointed - Starting off with the guide was an hour late. Literally stood on the street for an hour waiting. So to make up for the time the tour was very much rushed and lackluster . For the amount of money I paid for this was crap
