Hello there! My name is Susan, and I'm so excited to share my city with you. I believe the best way to get to the heart of a place is through its amazing flavours and fascinating stories. As a passionate foodie and a lover of history, my greatest joy is combining those two to create a fun, delicious and unforgettable day for my guests. For most of my career, I’m a chef and owner of my catering company in Los Angeles, creating incredible culinary experiences for the film industry. It was a whirlwind of delicious food and interesting people! Now that I'm retired, I’ve brought that same passion for great food and warm hospitality with me to beautiful San Diego. I've spent years exploring this city, uncovering the best local eateries and diving deep into its rich history. Having used tour services myself as a traveller, and also being married to Ron a tour guide with Tours by Local I have a unique perspective on what makes a truly special and seamless experience. For years, I’ve been the person showing visiting friends and family all my favourite spots, and I would extend that same cool, friendly welcome to you. Forget a stuffy, formal tour—think of our time together as a friend showing you all the best places. We'll travel in the comfort of my private vehicle, giving us the flexibility to explore at a relaxed pace. My goal is to make our outing the absolute highlight of your visit. Let's go make some wonderful memories!

I’m glad Ken finally set his foot on the Pacific Ocean. That was awesome! Please keep in touch especially when you return to our beautiful San Diego. Thank you for choosing me on Tours by Locals. ...
Susan did a WONDERFUL job taking us around San Diego! We learned SO much from her! She was personable, and very knowledgeable! She made the day tailored to exactly what WE wanted to see...plus she showed us some things about San Diego that we never knew, even though we had been there countless times. We can't say enough about her...she is worth every penny! Her SUV is...
