Tour Highlights

We'll gather at Heritage Park Row at the designated time and set off on our guided tour of San Diego's historic center. Are you prepared to delve into the rich history of this coastal city?

Our journey begins at this park, where the preserved Victorian architecture of California's second-largest city unfolds. Learn about San Diego's founders as we explore historic buildings like the Sherman-Gilbert House and the McConaughy House.

Did you know that Heritage Park is home to San Diego's first synagogue? Delve into the history of Temple Beth Israel, constructed between 1880 and 1890, and discover its modern-day role in hosting weddings, receptions, and bar mitzvahs.

Following this, we'll stroll to the region's oldest golf course, find out what the cemetery looked like, and pause in front of the iconic Whaley House, the oldest brick building in Southern California.

After a fulfilling two hours of exploration, we bid farewell at this final stop. Until next time!
