Patti Foley

Position: Certified Tour Guide
Categories: Certified Tour Guides (CTG)

Patti has been an ambassador for the city of San Diego almost her entire life (since she was 7 years old) and a certified tour guide for 6 years. She takes great pride when traveling the world and meeting people who are still touched by their visit to San Diego. After a few of these encounters, Patti thought “what better way to spread the love of San Diego but by becoming a tour guide.” San Diegans are lucky to live in a city with perfect weather and this wonderful weather is accentuated with the iconic attractions and sights around the city. Being a tour guide combines the passion of history (and continual learning through reading and attending lectures) and being with people to share the history and stories of San Diego. Patti would love to share her knowledge of San Diego whether it’s a walking, private or coach tour of the highlights of the city to include, but not limited to Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo, Gaslamp Quarter, Coronado, La Jolla, Cabrillo Monument, beach communities and Embarcadero. Patti looks forward to helping make your visit to San Diego memorable!
