La Jolla Tours (Summer 2010)
La Jolla is home to one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world, full of scenic views and abundant wildlife. Its village of boutique shops, art galleries, fine restaurants, and visitor attractions makes La Jolla a tourist paradise.
Join us for a 5-hour afternoon tour, which includes options for ample free time to explore on your own.
A TourGuideTim La Jolla expert will take you on a guided bus tour from Downtown San Diego to La Jolla. You will learn what makes La Jolla such a unique place that attracts visitors from around the world. For example, did you know La Jolla has the most expensive housing market in America, its Ecological Reserve has more documented marine life than anywhere else in the world, and that Charles Lindbergh set the long distance record for motor-less flight by flying off a local hilltop?
