Cedros Avenue Design District Walking Tour San Diego

1 hour 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

With over 85 different merchants, the Cedros Design District is the hottest place in Solana Beach. From coffee, beer, and wine to photography, art, and woodworking, the Cedros Design District has something unique for everyone to enjoy.

We will introduce you to the rich history of Solana Beach, from the historical quonset huts reminiscent of WWII to the eclectic shops and galleries along the way. We want you to walk away from the tour with a new appreciation for all things artistic along the way.

Our tour includes a coffee or gelato from a locally owned and operated gelato shop that we can enjoy along the way!

We can also tailor the tour to your group's needs and desires. Don't you like gelato or coffee? We can get a beer at Pizza Port or Culture Brewing after! Our customers' experience and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we strive to do everything in our power to earn your 5-star review.
