Why give a San Diego walking tour?
Fable runs small-group walking tours in San Diego’s historic Gaslamp Quarter, the downtown neighborhood that grew out of the city’s 1800s boomtown. Our guides tell the stories most people walk right past: Victorian buildings, Wild West scandals, ghost stories, true crime and the food that defines downtown today.
A gift card turns all of that into a gift. It’s thoughtful, takes up no space, and gives the person you’re shopping for a night out they’ll talk about long after the holidays.
- Delivered instantly. Emailed right after checkout, so it’s a last-minute gift that doesn’t look last-minute.
- Their choice of tour and date. Ghosts, history or food, on whatever day works for them.
- Small groups. Local guides and small groups, never a crowd of 50 people following a flag.
- 5-star rated. Guests rate us 5 stars on Tripadvisor.
- Great for locals and visitors alike. Most San Diegans have never heard these stories.

What can a Fable gift card be used for?
A Fable gift card can be used toward any of our public walking tours in downtown San Diego: the Gaslamp Ghosts & Crime Walking Tour, the Gaslamp Quarter History Walking Tour and the Gaslamp Quarter Guided Food Tour. The recipient picks the tour and the date.
Is a tour gift card a good last-minute Christmas gift?
Yes. Fable gift cards are emailed right after checkout, so you can buy one on Christmas Eve and still have something to print, slip into a card or forward by email. There is no shipping and nothing to wrap.
What is a good San Diego experience gift under $30?
The Gaslamp Ghosts & Crime Walking Tour is $29 per guest, which makes it an easy Secret Santa, white elephant or stocking stuffer gift that fits a $30 budget. The Gaslamp Quarter History Walking Tour is $30 per guest.
Can I gift a specific tour instead of a dollar amount?
Yes. You can choose a Fable Gift Card in any amount, or gift a specific tour: the ghost tour, the history tour or the food tour.
Where do Fable tours take place?
All Fable public tours are walking tours in the Gaslamp Quarter in downtown San Diego, California. The ghost tour meets at the Broadway Fountain in Horton Plaza Historic Park, and the food tour meets on the Fourth Avenue side of the Balboa Theatre.
Are Fable tours a good gift for people who live in San Diego?
Yes. Plenty of locals have walked past the Gaslamp Quarter for years without hearing its stories. Our guides cover the boomtown history, Victorian architecture, ghost stories, true crime and food scene of downtown San Diego, so it makes a great gift for locals as well as visitors.
