Dear Nancy_B, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience on our San Diego Gaslamp Segway Tour!

We designed this tour to offer both fun and learning, so it's fantastic to know you enjoyed the perfect balance of both. Segways provide such a unique way to cover more ground while still connecting with the surroundings in a way you can't from inside a vehicle.

Each offers unique adventures with the same commitment to quality and enjoyment that you experienced on your Segway tour. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback.

Great tour

Charlotte_O, Aug 2022
This was a great tour! Using a Segway to get around was a great way to cover the area and not having done it before I found it quite easy to use. The tour guide Salem was excellent and very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this to others.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thank you for taking the time to write this great review on your The Gaslamp Segway Tour. We are thrilled to hear you had a great tour with Salem. I agree using a Segway is a great way to get around. We look forward to hosting you on "Another" tour soon in San Diego, Los Angeles, or Las Vegas.

Great way to see San Diego

Todd_S, Jun 2022
Amy was a fabulous guide. Not only was she very knowledgeable about the city, she was extremely helpful to me as I was intimidated by the Segway. My family had a wonderful time with her on the tour.

We covered so much ground! Time was spent making sure we were comfortable on the machines, which are so easy and sturdy feeling. Then we took off and saw a ton of the city! Wonderful trip and worth the money!

Had a great time and Seth was an awesome tour guide. Highly recommend taking this tour!!

Awesome tour, I'd highly recommend...

Patrick W, Sep 2016
Awesome tour, I'd highly recommend. Downtown San Diego is the perfect place for a Segway tour too spaced out for a walking tour yet not sprawled out so much that you need a motor vehicle. The tour covers most of the major tourist spots of downtown including the Gaslamp district and Petco park, the USS Midway, little Italy, and Balboa Park. Not enough time to really explore each attraction, but enough to get a good feel for the city and what it has to offer. Our groups tour guide was John, he was entertaining and knowledgeable of the city, so I would recommend joining one of his groups if it's an option.

Great tour! The Segways were fun and easy to learn. Caroline was a great hide. A must for your trip to San Diego.

What a great way to see the city...

Vivian T, Sep 2014
What a great way to see the city! This was our first activity in San Diego. We had never been on Segways before, so we were a little nervous. We were shown a "how-to" video of a little stick figure that kept landing on it's face, so I was not feeling very confident. As soon as I stepped on the Segway, I realized how easy it was to control. Ryan, our guide, was fantastic and the tour took us all over the city including the Harbor, the Gaslamp Quarter, and Balboa Park. The tour lasted approximately 2 ½ hours and it was well worth the money! Tons of fun!

Cathy M, Nov 2011
The tour was just great. Thought I would have trouble as I have just had back surgery 5 months ago and don't have good balance but it was no problem. Our guide Jon was fantastic - great knowledge of the area and very good at making everyone comfortable on the segways. I would highly recommend this tour.

Maid Marian, Oct 2011
Oh my GOSH!!! absolutely, the BEST time I've ever had sightseeing. Bridgette did an awesome job, very knowledgeable, history details, very informed. Bridgette made this trip outstanding, my husband was a total skeptic he turned 73 the next day, and I'm no spring chicken, Bridgette had him COMPLETELY enjoying our Segways tour in no time flat. My husband was having so much fun, as well as myself, we just didn't want to get off the segways. Thank you Bridgette, we'll be back! An Old Bird Maid Marian Segways. Next time in San Diego defeats and I will request Bridgette our guide. Thank you, thank you.

The San Diego Gaslamp District Segway Tour was exceptional. The tour guide was knowledgeable and excellent and seeing the Gaslamp District by segway was a 2 hours well spent on a motor means that was extremely efficient compared to a walking tour. I'm now looking for segway tours in other cities.
