    The Balboa Park Hidden Gems Tour takes you on a 1.5 hour guided walking tour highlighting some of the most iconic locations in San Diego.

    We'll talk about the history of the area and I'll show you where several important events have taken place over the past 100+ years.

    Today Balboa Park is all about art & culture. It's the largest urban cultural park in the nation, home to several theaters, over 16 museums, numerous cultural organizations, and beautiful gardens.
