Chas provided a great walking tour to my partner and I - he was incredibly knowledgeable, answering all our many questions, and we had a lot of laughs along the way. We enjoyed the route and the stopping points we visited and learned a lot from a true local. We would encourage others to give this tour a try!

Enjoy our walking tour with Chad, not only we learned the history of La Jolla but we got a good walking exercise. Chas is very friendly, it felt like walking around with a long time friend.

I had been to La Jolla many times but I learned a lot and saw a lot that I hadn't known. Chas was a great guide. I recommend to anyone who can walk for an hour and a half. Worth the time and money!

I leaned so much about La Jolla. I loved the sea lions. I got lucky and was there when the waves were huge. Overall, I had a great day.

Chas was our guide ~ very friendly, very informative and knowledgeable about the history and current affairs in La Jolla. The walk was about 90+ minutes, and approx 4 miles. We made a nice circle through the city and along the coastline. We thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks, Chas!
