Old Town San Diego is where California began. This tour will give you a glimpse into the converging cultures that transformed San Diego from a Native American village into a Mexican settlement to an American city.
In 1769, Father Junipero Serra arrived in what is now San Diego to establish the first permanent European settlement in California. He built the first of 21 missions, next to the Presidio, an existing Spanish fort. The first settlers were soldiers from the Presidio and their families.
In Old Town, you will see restored and reconstructed buildings, house museums and shops and restaurants with staff in period costumes. Your professional guide will tell you about local history and will point out landmarks as you walk through the birthplace of California. You’ll hear about bull fights, horse racing, shooting matches, dances, the Gold Rush, political events and more.
Your Old Town tour will include the Whaley House which has been said by many to be the most haunted house in America. You’ll hear the stories and learn why people call it that. Your tour will take you to El Campo Santo Cemetery and your guide will tell you about the paranormal activity that has been reported there.
Be sure to come hungry and thirsty. You’ll visit some of the best authentic Mexican restaurants to sample delicious dishes and tequila cocktails. You’ll also hear mariachi music.
Your tasting will consist of hearty samples that will be enough to make up a meal. You can also savor margaritas and tequila samples at local restaurants.
