Self-Guided Tours

San Diego is and has always been a city full of diverse people from different places, cultures, and walks of life. From the indigenous Kumeyaay, to the Spanish Mission era, Mexican Pueblo, and American city, San Diego abounds with a rich past that reflects the inclusivity and distinctiveness still present today.

Some of these tours will feature a San Diego neighborhood, and use the built environment to highlight the important inhabitants and cultural backgrounds of each place. While taking these tours, you'll discover that the walls of buildings not only speak to an architectural style of a certain culture and time period, but also embody stories that combine dozens of unique and diverse persons who lived within them.

Other tours will include and highlight the historic places, landscapes, and museums that make up the region's historic neighborhoods and communities.

Explore tours in the menu to the right. These tours are best viewed on a desk or laptop screen, not ideal for mobile platforms. Check back for more self-guided tours to come.
