Traveller reviews
Jessie is a great guide. Personable & friendly. The scooters were practically brand new and easy to ride. We saw the gardens and many museums and fountains in the park. Absolutely beautiful!
Perfect way to get an overview of the park. The scooters are fun and Jesse is a great guide. Highly recommended to get a sense of what to do in the park. My teenagers loved it!
This tour is so much fun.My guide was awesome.It was just a wonderful trip. It contains beautiful sights of the city.And information about the history along the way. I've done this tour multiple times and I keep coming back cos.It's so great.
In town for a short visit with my teenage son. This was a great way to see Balboa park and have fun while doing it! Jesse was a great guide! Able to get great pics too!
We have done the scooter tours both on Coronado Island and in Balboa Park. The are fun, informative, and family friendly. You do not need substantial experience with the scooters as they are very easy to ride. This is a great thing to do when visiting San Diego.
Amazing experience with Jesse. He was incredibly patient as we became familiar with the scooters. It was very informative and especially nice to have some pictures as a memory of our day together I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the San Diego area. It was absolutely beautiful.
It was wonderful! I was nervous about the scooter, but it was easy and the guide adjusted to my comfort level. Saw a lot of things in a shorter amount of time than walking.
Had a great tour of balboa park with Jesse. He was a knowledgeable tour guide and allowed several opportunities to stop for walking the different areas of the park and take pictures. It’s a great way to learn your way around. It ended up being just my husband and me in the tour, so it allowed for a more personalized experience.
