Destinations San Diego way to go

We were in san diego in march and had a local private guide take us around. she suggested places to eat, taht we never would have known of, navigated us about the city with ease and was a pleasure to be around.
we were not sold on getting a private guide- and thought we could do it ourselves, but this was 100% worth it! not only did we have a local at our disposal for advice and conversation, but we didnt have to set any thing for our trip! she had it all arranged and told us what we needed to bring and when we are doing what... lowered our stress level prior to and during the trip tremendously. i highly suggest you consider hiring a local guide in any city.
Ours was based in san diego, but she made arrangements for our hotel in carlsbad as well.
