History lesson with Culture thrown in!
The Ft. San Diego was closed due to covid but our two tour guides made up for it by taking us up into some areas of town that many tourists don't see including showing us Diego Riveres House. Beautiful vista views. Took us to Centro Market and walked us through parts of it, to the main plaza and church and different areas of interest. And of course the Cliff Divers show was spectacular! Our guides both were very knowledgeable on Mexican history also! Very good lunch and nice restaurant on the beach. My son and I both enjoyed our tour very much.
