buy me a ticket and i'll be happy to show ya around!!
for real...if its your first trip there...its going to be hard to find someone just off the cuff to show you around. WHat hotels are you staying at in SD or BC. Rather than doing a whole group tour...perhaps where you are staying can recommend someone to give you a more personalized guide. Gotta be carefull tho...there are pleanty of cons who will want to rip off a naive tourist.
HOw long are you staying? if you are staying for a bit....you should just chill and check things out on your own until you get a feel for things. If you are starting off in S.D. dont wear shorts or other touristy things if you want to sorta blend in.
As others have pointed out...search this site for more advise and tips...there is a ton of info here. Also purchase a copy of Rough Guide.
