San Diego · BALBOA PARK & GARDENS
5 reviewed
Balboa Park is a whole day on its own: Spanish-Colonial arcades from the 1915 expo, fifteen museums, botanical gardens and the world-famous zoo. These guided tours are the best way in, on foot or by Segway, with prices, durations and a note on which combine the gardens, the museums and the zoo in one visit.

“We enjoyed the history: Ms. Sessions who did planting, the architectural details, the Navy usage. Jennifer is exceptionally knowledgeable about details. On our own, we liked the stupendous rose garden and the free tour of the sculpture garden.”

“Bridget was entertaining and informative. She gave a good intro lesson on the Segways and we quickly became competent. Even though we have been to Balboa Park many times, we learned so much more. She is a personable and interesting tour guide.”
Two hours of GPS-guided GoCar fun through Little Italy, USS Midway, Seaport Village, Petco Park, Balboa Park, and the Gaslamp Quarter.
“Great experience. Fun. I don't personally feel like you need a whole day. Just a couple hrs to explore and get historical facts. Then go back if you want more on your own time. Our car was a little compromised; it pulled to the right a little and was semi difficult to drive. But other than that Customer service was great.”

“Great tour! Just the right amount of time. Brooke was engaging and provided interesting information about the park. She even provided all of us with a follow-up email that answered our groups obscure questions. As locals with family visiting, we learned a great deal from her insights.”
