San Juan Capistrano Team Building & Tours

San Juan Capistrano is Orange County's oldest town, and it feels like it. The Mission's adobe walls, the 1790s houses along Los Rios Street and the foothill trails all sit within walking distance of the train depot. For a team, that adds up to a day built around food, history and friendly competition, a few minutes inland from Dana Point.
