1.Private Balboa Park Segway Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 153 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $65Our pick

Explore Balboa Park by Segway with a private guide, riding through its museums, gardens, performance sites, and artist spaces. Bridgette is a frequently praised guide, though other guides may lead your tour. The two-hour outing is limited to your group, with instruction, helmets, and bottled water included.

“Bridgette was an excellent tour guide and Segway instructor. She also handled an unusual situation with great professionalism - after dismounting from the Segway and taking a break halfway through the tour, I accidentally tripped on a hole in a concrete curb. My elbow got a good scrape, and the shock caused me to feel faint for a couple minutes. Bridgette pulled out a first aid kit immediately, treating my injury and making very sure I was fully recovered before continuing the tour. You're in good hands with Bridgette.”

Dan was very knowlegable about the area and ensured that we were directly behind him the entire time. He also took care of getting my Segway up and down the plank for the ferry rides.
