Excellent walking tour with AJ. Extremely knowledgeable about the history of Laguna Beach, really interesting to hear about this beautiful town. AJ showed me excellent art work and important architecture with some very interesting stories. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour..

Appreciated the insider info!

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area. Even though we visit every year we learned so much we didn’t know.

A good intro into the area

AJ started our tour in the old historical district of Laguna Beach, pointing out the history and stories of older buildings. It provided a very informative insight into the roots of this city. We then went on to the south end of the beach and walked toward Heisler Park, gaining interesting tidbits about what we were seeing. AJ was particularly knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area, especially from the 20th Century on. The beaches we saw were from the trail above so perhaps a more fitting title might be “Laguna Beach Village and Local Beaches Tour”. It was a very pleasant way to spend a couple of hours in this lovely area.
