About this experience
San Diego County is the most bio-diverse county in the United States. After you do our magnificent walks, you will understand and appreciate so much about our variety of nature here, in the southwest-most corner of the United States. Enjoy San Diego’s nature without a big crowd of people on a private excursion of mini hikes led by award-winning tour guide Julie Kremen. You will be walking for a total of approximately 2 hours, but each walk will be in a very different setting, so you will experience a lot of natural variety. The type of scenery and landscapes you will experience is what makes San Diego unique from other places. You will enjoy three very different mini nature hikes (from 15-40 minutes) in outstanding natural settings. Each one is in a hidden, off-the-beaten path place right in the middle of our urban city! Note: This 3 hour private tour is fully customizable; contact Julie to book as described above or to discuss how to change to suit your needs.

San Diego in an afternoon
Spending the afternoon with Julie was marvelous. She is so knowledgeable about everything. We went to Old Town, Bilbao Park, Coronado Hotel and the Embarcadero. Lots of walking. I would highly recommend her.
Response from the operator: Marlene – it was such a pleasure to take you and Kathy around and show you the highlights of America's Finest City. We certainly covered a lot in our short time together and I am thrilled that you enjoyed your tour. Thank you so much for the review and I hope you can come back for future explorations ~Julie

Gorgeous Nature walks with a seasoned exceptional guide!
Julie is a very wonderful tour guide. She's so personable and knows so much about the area. Not just the nature, but the history and the culture as well. We learned a ton about San Diego. She took us on three lovely nature walks, each one of them was very different and yes, they are very hidden and secret, so I can't tell you where they are! But one of them was along the ocean, one of them was in a palm studded canyon, and the other one was a private gorgeous nature preserve. We highly recommend taking a tour with her!
Response from the operator: Diana - It was my true pleasure showing you some of the amazing nature we have in our area and all the variety as well. I'm so glad that you all got so much out of our time together and learned more about what is native here as well as some of the history. Thank you so much for your review! ~ Julie

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hidden Nature Walks in the City Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Diego.
How much does Hidden Nature Walks in the City Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $495 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Diego usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hidden Nature Walks in the City Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Diego is not rushed.
Is Hidden Nature Walks in the City Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Diego, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hidden Nature Walks in the City Private Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hidden Nature Walks in the City Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hidden Nature Walks in the City Private Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Diego can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Diego and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hidden Nature Walks in the City Private Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Diego within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in San Diego?
+
San Diego is an outdoor-first city: whale watching from December through April, La Jolla kayak and snorkel runs year round, harbour cruises and the USS Midway, plus Balboa Park museums when the marine layer sits low. We rank water operators on group ratios and gear quality, which is where the cheap La Jolla trips fall down. On Outty we rank every San Diego experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include USS Midway Museum Admission: Valid Any Date, Taste of Little Italy in San Diego, San Diego Whale Watching Cruise. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit San Diego?
+
March to May and September to November, either side of the June overcast. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in San Diego?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
