University Heights, a charming little neighborhood nestled in the heart of San Diego, California, has a fascinating history that dates back to the early 20th century. Established in 1907, it was initially part of the larger Mission Valley area and was envisioned as a residential community tailored for the academic and intellectual elite. The neighborhood itself is built on a grid pattern that makes it easy to explore on foot, adding to its quaint character.

This tour was such a great way to see the city. The stories were interesting without feeling too scripted, and I loved being able to explore at my own pace.
This was a solid way to get to know Brighton without feeling like a tourist. The narration had depth and context, but didn't overdo it.
Started this tour with a croissant in one hand and zero expectations. The app just vibes with you, no pressure, just you, your headphones, and some cool stories.
