Chaz was an excellent tour guide. He gave a detailed account of La Jolla history and provided a tour that highlights how much of a gem La Jolla truly is. As I was his only tourist, he was kind enough to walk me to a local restaurant that he recommended, and the food was amazing!! Highly recommend this tour!

Visiting for a friends trip and one requested a walking tour. My daughter recommended using Viator to book something as it can be overwhelming trying to find a tour that the reviews are legit.
The reviews for this tour were spot on and exceeded our expectations. Chas was very knowledgeable of the area and the history. The extra touch of having historical photos on hand helped visualize how it once looked.
Chas is described in many of the reviews as a local, which he is, but we saw someone that is far beyond a local. He’s well involved in keeping the history alive and enriching visitors experience by being involved in maintaining the area. We all agreed this tour was the top of our list of highlights for our trip.

If you find a tour guide who is a local and a giving soul you know that you will have a great time on the tour.
Chays Dye is that kind of a guide. He is very knowledgeable about the area.
He kindly accomodated a faux paus in my booking the wrong date and gave me a tour anyway on a day he was off duty.
This walking tour gave me knowledge about La jolla that I wouldnot have known, not all of it even if I googled it. The tour covers quite a lot include a wild life watch along the trail.

I highly recommend this interesting and informative walking tour of La Jolla by our friendly tour guide Chas Dye. I’m a San Diego native and took the tour to learn more about La Jolla. During the first hour he told us many interesting facts about the amazing Scripps family and buildings I have seen in La Jolla over the years. He also showed us old photographs of La Jolla from the early days of its development. During the second half of the tour Chas talked about the caves, the wildlife, and other things as we walked along the coast. We enjoyed seeing the birds, sea lions, and seals that live in La Jolla Cove. This excellent tour is not just for tourists!
