Segways are so much fun! Our guide Sam did a great job keeping us safe and was very knowledgeable about Balboa Park and the waterfront. He also had many great suggestions for additional things to do.

The tour was much more than I expected. Great narration from the leader of the group and lots of knowledge about San Diego and Balboa Park. Took the group to parts of Balboa Park that I never knew existed and I used to live in San Diego. The tour provided a lot more value than it cost. a real bargain and loads of fun

Thank you to Sam for giving me a great tour around Balboa Park. The Segway was a fantastic way to cover a lot of area in a fairly short amount of time. I really appreciate you making time for my solo tour!

What a peaceful, relaxing day! I was nervous at first, but our tour guide Sam made sure we were all comfortable. By the end I felt like a pro!

My family enjoyed riding Segways for the first time (it's easy - anyone can do it) and seeing so much of the sprawling Balboa Park, but the tour portion of the activity was just ok as it mostly consisted of our guide pointing out landmarks but not sharing interesting facts about them. We did appreciate how much our guide attended to everyone's safety on the Segways!

Sam, our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and patient. We saw things we wouldn’t have seen if we hadn’t gone on the tour. This gave me a better appreciation for all the neighborhoods and things to do. I absolutely recommend this tour.

It was my husband's birthday. He absolutely enjoyed the tour. Looking forward to another tour. Sam was an excellent tour guide.

We were visiting from Idaho and it was a great way to find out more about San Diego and Balboa park at the beginning of our time there. Sam was a wonderful tour guide and was very good about insuring our safety!

Matthew_O, Jul 2022
This was our first time ever being on a Segway, but the guide was a great teacher and had us off to the races quickly. The tour was great and we thoroughly enjoyed the Segways. I highly recommend taking a Segway tour if you get the chance.
Alma_M, Jul 2022
We had an amazing time. We felt very safe and at ease on how to use the segway, because of the one on one brief lesson on how to use and expect while driving them across town. The tour went great and would recommend to family and friends. Thank you for an amazing time.

Hugh was very upbeat and informative. He knows the area well and stopped to speak about each site that we visited along the tour. If you’ve never ridden a Segway it’s a lot of fun and gets you to destinations quickly.
Thanks again Joe Sherri and Mike.
