Historical Tour of Mission San Diego de Alcala

NOTE: I will begin collecting the fee in November.

Join us at 11:30 AM sharp for a historical tour during this winter holiday time of Mission San Diego de Alcala, California’s first mission which was founded on July 16, 1769 by Saint Junípero Serra, a Franciscan priest. The first of a chain of 21 missions that stretch northward along the coast of California, Mission San Diego de Alcala became known as the Mother of the Missions.

Immerse yourself in the stories and architecture through the docent-led tour or move independently at your own pace with your alternative selection of an audio tour.

There is a gift shop available, and after the tour you are able to wander the grounds independently.

Adult Tours: $10.00 per person with all fees received from tour groups designated for ongoing renovation, restoration, and maintenance of the Mission.

***I will begin collecting payments in November.
Pay your $10 here through Venmo or Zelle with a deadline of December 1 so that I can provide the fees to the Mission for our tour when we arrive.
