Bring your own camera along for a scenic adventure through downtown San Diego!

Visit hidden gems while learning about the city's colorful history and culture. Your guide will teach you great photography tips -- all skill levels welcome!

Your 3.5-hour San Diego photography walking tour begins at Horton Plaza, where you'll meet your guide and head to the Gaslamp Quarter, the historic heart of San Diego, where all the nightlife happens. Stroll by entertainment venues and bustling shops along the streets that are lined with beautiful architecture from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Pass Petco Park, an open-air ballpark in the downtown area. Your guide will also lead you to secret, off-the-beaten-path spots and teach you about the city's interesting history and culture.

You'll make several stops to learn professional tips and tricks from your guide on the best way to capture San Diego's beauty through your lens. At some point, take a 30-minute rest break to grab a snack or drink from a local café (own expense) and enjoy an optional photo review session with your guide.
