List of hikes

Most hotels are near an area that is walkable. A 2.5 to 3.5 mile walk with no steep hills is what works well. You can also start the walk in one area and have a bus or uber pick them up in another locale.

“ What a fabulous way to start the weekend exploring Balboa Park with you and some Kaiser Permanente colleagues. It’s always a pleasure to spend time with you both and hear about your latest adventures. You really live your brand of fitness, adventure and fun!

Thank you for the exceptional tour yesterday. I appreciated how we covered some new terrain and still managed to ‘sit and see’ some places that we could easily have overlooked. Yesterday, we saw the Cabrillo Bridge from a perspective I’ve never seen. And stopping in the garden outside the Mingei to look up at the California Tower was stunning.

There’s a wellness theme of ‘sit-and-see’. In fact the newspaper highlighted it today. I’ve shared some highlights below. Your Get Fit walks accomplished that and so much more. Thank you again for sharing your gifts. “

Patti G, YMCA

Marc’s excellent leadership in helping organize a tour to help emphasize customer service skills through Where You Want to Be Tours was just the ticket for our staff looking for a alternative fun atmosphere to learn and enjoy the value of good customer service. I have known and worked with both Marc and Darlynne for many years and always found their enthusiasm for San Diego refreshing and inspiring. Most importantly our staff did too as evidence by the great evaluations we received from our time spent together!

Joan, CEO, OFFICE DYNAMICS, LTD.

Thank you so much for an outstanding event. The photo album and CDs arrived. The pictures look great “

Brian H, SAN DIEGO CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU

Marc is someone I always enjoy doing business with. He approaches work as something that can be fun, which makes him a natural tour professional. I am a lifelong San Diegan and Marc opened my eyes through his great programs to aspects of my hometown I never knew existed.”

John D, San Diego AD Club

I have worked with Marc in several capacities. All turned out to be profitable experiences and provided high, quality marketing and Public Relations exposure for me. Marc and his wife Darlynne participate in a radio and television program that we conducted from Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore of Oahu. Their accurate and exciting reports from the Resort created business for us as well as media impressions that are directly attributable to our relationship. I have also participated in and had my employees and coworkers participate in their San Diego Scavenger Hunts. They are great team building exercises, but for me I wanted to learn more about the neighborhoods that I was selling products in. I had my team do them to learn about the businesses in the tour areas and also for our Editorial team to learn about the current situation and past histories of the neighborhoods. I highly recommend both Marc and Darylene in any professional capacity. They are truly qualified people and as a bonus amongst the most pleasant people I have ever worked with.

Once again your team did an amazing job and our participants loved it.”

Mimi Thompson, VISION MAGAZINE

How does this sound: the sun is beginning to set, the air is fresh and cool, and you can casually stroll with a small group and enjoy finding things hidden from every day view. It’s a fun way to spend an afternoon relaxing and moving around, and also a great way to entertain visitors with a tourist event that all will enjoy. The walks are designed to fit the aerobic abilities of all, they are easy jaunts on level ground but you will be surprised at the end how far you have managed to easily walk. This is a great way to spend a few hours meeting new people, visiting new places and falling in love with San Diego all over again.“

Amber B, UCSD

Thank you so much for everything!! The staff loved it and it was just what we needed to kick off the year! You two have been fantastic to work with and I hope we can work together again soon!!!”

Jan, McLANE RIEGER COMMUNICATIONS

Marc and Darlynne Menkin started Where You Want to Be Tours several years ago, and their business has just blossomed! I’ve used them on many occasions, to take clients and colleagues on tours and scavenger hunts. They know San Diego inside out, and love sharing their secret spots, whether on foot or on a double decker bus. They drop the K and keep the F….U….N!”
