One tap sends your full plan — host, route, and timing — to parents or family back home, with live updates while you explore. They relax; you enjoy.
Meet your host and experience America
Your host greets you like a friend of the family. Farmers markets, Coronado sunsets, a home-cooked American dinner — the America locals actually live.
Experiences
Choose how you want to meet San Diego.
Every experience is led by a verified local host. Prices are complete — no hidden fees, ever.
First Day in America
$175 per family · half day
Land softly. Your host meets you after arrival to handle the first-day puzzles — phone SIM, groceries, neighborhood walk, and a warm first American meal. By sunset, San Diego feels like yours.
Private Family Experience
$445 per family · half day
One host, one family, one unforgettable morning or afternoon — Balboa Park's gardens, La Jolla's sea lions, or an American neighborhood the guidebooks miss. Fully yours, fully flexible.
Signature Small-Group Experiences
$109 per guest
Join a few fellow travelers for a themed experience — craft food trails, surf-town mornings, ballpark evenings — hosted by a local who's spent a lifetime here.
Premium Full-Day Private
$795 per family · full day
Coronado to Old Town to a golden-hour coastline, with a real American lunch along the way. A whole day of Southern California, curated around what your family loves.

A note from our founder
Built by someone who spent a career taking care of people.
"I've spent my life in service — in uniform, and in this community. I know Southern California street by street, and I know what it means for a family to trust a stranger with the people they love. That trust is the whole company. Every host wears our seal because I'd trust them with my own family."
— Founder, Happy Panda · U.S. military veteran & former law-enforcement professional · San Diego local
For the family back home
Peace of mind is part of the experience.
Know the host before the trip
Every host completes identity verification and a professional background screening before they can wear the Happy Panda seal. You can read who they are before your loved one ever lands.
