Jennifer was very accommodating and tailored the trip to our needs. We were lucky for a private tour and she adjusted things for us well while giving us a great Coronado history tour.

We felt lucky to have Jennifer to ourselves on our Coronado tour. Her knowledge of the peninsula in terms of culture, history, food, and changing environment was endless. We gained tidbits of knowledge that we never would have read in a book. And the Gelato was fabulous!😀 My husband and I enjoyed our walking tour immensely; it was a highlight of our trip.

Jennifer was knowledgeable, funny, and very kind for our party of two. The tour includes a gelato stop which is not only delicious but a great rest time. We enjoyed seeing the sights of Coronado that were off the beaten path. Great way to experience the island (not an island) by foot!

This was a great experience for our annual girls trip. Jennifer was a fantastic guide (quite funny too) as she showed us around the Coronado peninsula. Very knowledgeable. As a group of 10 we booked a private tour - still very affordable. Be prepared for a lot of walking - but well worth it. There's also a great gelato break! Really got the insiders point of view about Coronado!

Jennifer was amazing and very accommodating walking this old lady and her daughter around beautiful Coronado Island! She was very knowledgeable and made our experience once in a lifetime. We loved that she made it personal and took us to places the locals go. We especially loved the tour of the library with the cool artwork. We highly recommend this tour and Jennifer! Make sure you wear your walking shoes!
