La Jolla Cove, La Jolla, California, United States Welcome to beautiful, historic, and scenic La Jolla! Although technically part of San Diego, you'll soon find that this neighborhood has a character and history uniquely its own.
Note: This long tour covers the essentials of Ultimate La Jolla in 2-3 hours. 10 minutes
La Jolla Cove Bridge Club, La Jolla, California, United States This is the La Jolla Cove Bridge Club, and it's a clue as to how La Jolla got to where it is today.
Ellen Browning Scripps Park, La Jolla, California, United States We're walking through Ellen Browning Scripps Park, named for one of the most important figures behind La Jolla's rapid expansion.
Seal Rock, San Diego, CA 92037, USA See the small, rocky island just off the coast? That's Seal Rock. Thousands of harbor seals and sea lions gather here every day to bask in the sun, rest after catching fish, and, if the season's right, squabble over mates. 10 minutes
Children's Pool La Jolla, 834 Coast S Blvd, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA Coming up on your right is a famous, and curious, La Jolla spot: Children's Pool Beach. Pullover and pause in front. 10 minutes
Cuvier Park - The Wedding Bowl, La Jolla, California, United States On your right is Cuvier Park, the most popular place in San Diego to tie the knot. In fact, it's such a beloved destination for soon-to-be-married couples that some call it The Wedding Bowl. Given its picturesque location by the water, I'm sure you can see why.
La Jolla Tide Pools, 303 Coast Blvd, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA Ahead, keep right and slow down as you drive. Of course, La Jolla's history didn't begin when humans arrived here. Life on the Pacific coast has been thriving for millions of years. 10 minutes
7791 Draper Ave, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA In a few blocks, we're going to see a small building with a long history. It's the La Jolla Woman's Club, founded by - who else? - Ellen Scripps. When the club began in 1901, American women lacked any sort of equality, with no right to vote, and no right to custody of their children. 10 minutes
St James by-The-Sea Episcopal Church, La Jolla, California, United States Do you see a peach-colored belltower ahead? That's St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church. It dates to 1908 and, like much of La Jolla, owes its existence to Ellen Scripps.
Athenaeum Music and Arts Library, La Jolla, California, United States The white Spanish-revival building with terracotta shingles and arched windows is a must for lovers of the arts. It's the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library.
1037 Prospect St, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA The white cross on that hill marks a solemn and at times controversial location: the Mt. Soledad National Veteran’s Memorial.
Windansea Beach, La Jolla, California, United States Windansea is what’s known as a surf break. Rocky obstructions under the water here cause waves to break and also form those classic barrel-shaped curls that make for radical surfing. 10 minutes

This was a very disappointing experience, and not worth the money. It was just as easy to figure out one’s way around.

The tour was terrible. It took you back and forth in the same areas and would not continually play even when im an area that is marked for the tour. Drive la Jolla and explore on your own. You will have a better experience
