Dana Point historical walking tour and photo shoot
5.0· 13 reviewsFrom ₹19,592Two hours exploring Dana Point's history with a photo shoot, capturing memories at the harbor or Bluff Top Trail.
“Our experience was truly wonderful. We celebrated our 10th anniversary and braced for a rainy weekend. Lezlie maintained excellent communication and was incredibly accommodating. On the day of our walk, she noticed a potential break in the rain and suggested waiting for that moment. To avoid heavy rain, she advised driving between locations. Her plan worked perfectly, and we enjoyed beautiful weather. It was a delight to explore different spots while learning about Dana Point through her insights. She made the whole experience enjoyable. Although I typically prefer being behind the camera, she guided us through posing, and we ended up with stunning photos we will treasure forever. This experience became the highlight of our anniversary trip, and we highly recommend Lezlie and this tour to anyone wishing to explore Dana Point and its history. Having beautiful pictures instead of just "selfies" was refreshing, as it allowed us to relax and let someone else capture our memories. Thank you, Lezlie!”— gaylelindgren on the Dana Point historical walking tour and photo shoot tour
