Discover Historic San Diego with SOHO’s Self-Guided Tour Booklets
September/October 2025
SOHO's recent Vacation Village: A Mid-Century Island Escape walking tours sold out in record time, proving just how much San Diegans love uncovering the city’s often surprisingly layered history. While this and other specialty tours are now behind us, you can still step into the story with our beautifully crafted, limited-edition self-guided tour booklets, available at the Marston House Museum Shop or online.
Each booklet is meticulously researched, filled with historic and contemporary images, and offers a self-guided journey through some of San Diego’s most iconic places. Whether you want to revisit a favorite tour or discover a site or neighborhood for the first time, these publications bring the past to life, ensuring you will never look at that place the same way again. Even better, we designed the tours for you to enjoy at your own pace and to share the experience with friends and family. Pack a booklet, make a day of it, and turn history into your next outing.
Now available
- Vacation Village: A Mid-Century Island Escape – 56 pages of never-before-published history and images of this mostly intact, 1960s resort.
- History Uncovered: The Hotel del Coronado Restoration – Behind-the-scenes of the landmark’s superb, award-winning restoration.
- The Art Traveler Guide: A Portrait of Balboa Park – Explore San Diego’s cultural crown jewel through an art and architecture lens

Don’t miss your chance to own these valuable keepsakes that explore and illuminate the historic places and history that surround us every day.
