Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for participating in the self-guided tour?

A: Nope, there aren’t any specific age restrictions for this self-guided tour! It’s great for everyone, and you can go at your own pace. Just keep in mind that some of the areas like the USS Midway might have some historical elements that kids may not find as exciting, but Balboa Park and the Gaslamp Quarter are super family-friendly!

Q: What should I wear, especially if we’re doing this tour in the summer?

A: Comfortable shoes are a must since you'll be walking a lot! I’d recommend lightweight clothing and maybe a hat and sunscreen too, because San Diego can get pretty hot in the summer. Also, if you plan to visit the beach areas like Pacific Beach, a swimsuit underneath might be a good idea!

Q: Can we reschedule if something comes up last minute?

A: Since this is a self-guided experience, you can actually start the tour whenever you want! No need to worry about rescheduling unless you lose access to the audio guide. Just make sure to download everything before you go, and you’re set. It’s super flexible!
