The beautiful city on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, approximately 120 miles (190 km) south of Los Angeles and immediately adjacent to the border with Mexico - San Diego!

Called "the birthplace of California", it is the eighth-largest city in the United States and second-largest in California. The Presidio and Mission San Diego de Alcalá, founded in 1769, formed the first European settlement in what is now California. In 1821, San Diego became part of the newly declared Mexican Empire, which reformed as the First Mexican Republic two years later. California became part of the United States in 1848 following the Mexican–American War and was admitted to the union as a state in 1850.

Originally centered on the Old Town district, but by the late 1860s the city life focus had shifted to the bay front, in the belief that this new location would increase trade. As the "New Town" – present-day Downtown – waterfront location quickly developed, it eclipsed Old Town as the center of San Diego.

This tour will introduce you to the Balboa Park, San Diego's Spanish and Mexican heritage reflected in many historic sites across the city. The 3-day itinerary provides you with all the exciting places to visit within the city and around it, by dividing your time in San Diego between sightseeing and relaxing on the beach. The itinerary can be split on more days easily if you wish to add more time for some particular stops or would like to add SeaWorld and Zoo, Museum experience.
