Description of the tour:

The San Diego Free Walking Tour explores the historical Gaslamp Quarter as well as a portion of San Diego’s waterfront. On the tour we will see the main streets of the heart of San Diego, the small parks in between, walk the waterfront and hear stories about the rich history of the area.

Other than the sites of the Gaslamp Quarter we will also see the USS Midway, the largest non nuclear class carrier ship to ever be part of the U.S. Navy! We will walk along San Diego’s harbor, talk about The Star of India, one of the most beautiful ships in the bay, and sneak peak at the Unconditional Surrender Statue. Reveal the story about the famous kiss of a sailor and a nurse.

You will also receive an insider’s list of things to do, tips and tricks for the most touristy attractions, and alternative places that are not on the first page of Google in San Diego!

Logistics:

The tour begins at the Gaslamp Quarter Arch (look for the blue umbrella), passing through some historic sites, including the Spreckles Theatre, the USS Midway, and the Star of India, and concludes at Seaport Village. The tour is 2 hours and we are covering a distance of 2 miles on foot. The terrain is flat, easy to traverse, and the pace is casual to ensure that everyone can enjoy the tour. We have a restroom break and a coffee break in the middle.

What is a Free Tour?
A Free Tour is a local, independent initiative led by people who live in San Diego. We use our freedom of speech to share the city’s stories as we genuinely experience them—honest, unfiltered, and from a local perspective. This is the side of San Diego you won’t find on TV or in mainstream media.

The price of the tour is pay as you wish. You will determine the fair value of this tour at the end and pay the guide. All guides are volunteers and NOT paid by any outside entity. We appreciate any tips you would like to give to keep these tours running =)
