Knowledge and patience! Try Jennifer

Published on Dec, 2024

5! Jennifer knows her stuff. And she was extremely patient with us because I walk slowly due to knee issues. It was just Jennifer, my husband and myself fit this off season walking tour but she was not deterred by such a small group. We saw highlights and we saw things off the beaten track which we would not have seen had we just walked ourselves around without her guidance. We have new insights into the lovely town of Coronado. Thanks , Jennifer!

Walking tour with our elderly parents.

I have always wanted to do this tour, and it did not disappoint! Jennifer was very knowledgeable of the rich history of Coronado. My group enjoyed this tour very much! I recommend to anyone who loves history and architecture (and the beach!) The Del hotel was so nice to see, too!
