Join me for a Walking Tour of Balboa Park, made for local San Diegans! Of course visitors are welcome too, but this tour digs deeper than most "run of the mill" tourist attractions you'll find elsewhere. This concept was conceived after hearing feedback from recent guests who've mostly been locals, due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. One guest in particular commented to me, "I loved this tour because it uncovered so many hidden gems I never knew about, even though I've lived in San Diego my whole life." Hearing this, I realized most San Diegans have been to Balboa Park many times, but not everyone knows about the park's long and rich history, or all its nooks and crannies. This tour is a great way to get some fresh air, safely enjoy an outdoor event, and learn more about the city you love. Every tour is conducted by me, Kris Dawson. I've been giving private tours in Balboa Park for the past 2 years, also as a volunteer tour guide with the "Forever Balboa Park Visitor Center."
