Lead hostel guests on a tour of one of San Diego's local attractions. Current tours include: Coronado, Barrio Logan, Downtown San Diego, Ocean Beach/Sunset Cliffs, and Balboa Park. More tours can be developed based on leader's interests.
Local volunteers offer a unique insider’s perspective to our hostel guests. By leading walking tours, volunteers create the opportunity for hostellers to learn more about the historical and cultural relevance of the area and have a one on one encounter with a local expert.
We can work with your schedule to schedule tours.
