You will start in historic Little Italy, which was home to the Italian community, and see how it evolved into the modern business and artistic community it is today. Make your way past the ships in the bay that explored the new world, or patrolled the waters in time of war, into the Gaslamp Quarter, which was once San Diego’s red-light district and see how it got re-imagined into the social scene it is today. As you leave modern San Diego, you will begin your tip into history as you make your way through beautiful Mission Hills, you will pass many houses and businesses 50 years old and some much older.
