Old Town · Free Old Town walk on San Diego's Wild West years, about 2 hours

Charlie's free walking tour covers the Wild West stories of Old Town San Diego over about two hours, in English. It is listed on GuruWalk, which shows only a generic meeting point for it, so the guide's own instruction is to look for his blue t-shirt. You tip whatever you thought it was worth.
