Our popular new tour, the Children's Historical Walking Tour is now taking reservations. The tour focuses on what life was like for the children of the late 1800's. The morning begins with a tour of the oldest and most historically significant building in downtown San Diego, the William Heath Davis House, where kids learn about the chores and responsibilities of kids in the 1880's, about the difficulties with simple tasks like cooking and cleaning, about mail delivery, and the hardships faced by their counterparts a few generations ago (what, no XBOX?). The kids then tour the Gaslamp Quarter, where they are told vivid stories about early San Diego (all clean, of course) and then stop in to Ghiradelli Ice Cream for a quick lesson on the history of Ghiradelli Chocolate, a tour of the sub-zero freezer and a free sundae!!!!

The tour is recommended for small groups of about 20, and must be booked for a Friday. Cost is $6.00 per person, which covers the cost of the ice cream. . Call Katie Brodeur, Administrative Coordinator, for more information about this great learning opportunity for your group! (619) 233-4692
