Description:

Get a taste of the food, nature, and history of Old Town. Along the way, hike a trail for a great view of the city and the Pacific Ocean, see historical sites such as the oldest building in San Diego, and then try fresh handmade tortillas and tequila.

Weather permitting, start with a hike up the Old Presidio Historic Trail to the site of the first-placed cross in the state, marking the “Birthplace of California.” Admire panoramic views of the city and the Pacific while your guide shares historical highlights. After the hike, try your first handmade tortilla and sip a sample from a large selection of tequilas at a unique outdoor bar.

Next, view one of the oldest haciendas in California and some of the first stage coaches used in the state. With your guide, wander through an open-air mercado filled with crafts and artwork before checking out the site of the first printing press in San Diego and the oldest church in the city.

You also get a chance to see San Diego's oldest brick building and stroll through a landmark cemetery with graves dating back to the 1850s. Then stop at a street-side tortilla stand to compare a corn tortilla to the flour version and decide which is best.

Walk to a local tequileria boasting thousands of bottles and taste one of the best tequilas in the world. If tequila scares you, try a margarita, beer, or other beverage of your choice. Stroll through the historic neighborhood to the final stop, one of San Diego’s best known Mexican restaurants, and enjoy your fourth and fifth tortilla tasting just in time for happy hour.
