About this activity

The Private San Diego Tour: The Full Experience from Dana Point

This full-day private tour features tiered pricing for up to 14 guests—the larger the group, the lower the per-person rate. Ideal for families, friends, or corporate outings.

Start with sweeping coastal views from Mount Soledad, then explore La Jolla Cove’s cliffs, sea lions, and scenic parklands. Step back in time in Old Town San Diego with its adobe buildings and lively plazas. Break for lunch (meals not included) at Seaport Village, with bay views and plenty of dining options.

Cruise through the Gaslamp Quarter as your guide shares tales of its gritty Wild West past. Cross the iconic Coronado Bridge, stop at the historic Hotel del Coronado, and roll down charming Orange Avenue. Pass through Balboa Park’s gardens and Spanish Revival architecture, then finish with a scenic drive through Little Italy.

Includes hotel pickup, narration, and a curated blend of San Diego’s top sights.
