About the Coronado Ferry and Food Tour:

Over the course of the Coronado walking food tour, the island (okay, peninsula) will reveal its unique beauty and singular stories. Meet our expert local guides at the dock in San Diego and depart on a quick, illuminating ferry ride to Coronado. Once you arrive at the Crowned City of San Diego Bay, our tour guides will be ready to show you the sights, share the island’s fascinating history, and serve up culinary delights.

• Take San Diego by sea – Hop aboard a ferry and see San Diego Bay the way it was meant: on a boat. After you meet your guide at the landing dock, you’ll hit the water for a gorgeous, fascinating trip—with plenty of opportunities for photos along the way. 
• Dive into history – Whether on a ferry or on foot, you’ll get to know the rich and riveting history of San Diego Bay and Coronado. Hear how the first port of San Diego and Coronado came to be, how naval aviation took wing on the island, and how this unassuming spot once was the playground of the nation’s elite.
