Balboa Park San Diego

Frank_G, Jan 2024

We have taken Segway tours throughout the US and the one we had with Bridgitte in Balboa Park was by far the best one. She is a great guide and very friendly and informative. We would recommend her anytime.

Great tour of Balboa Park! Saw all of the main sights. Easy to learn how to ride with Bridgett’s help.

Great and fun experience!

Sharon_F, Sep 2023

How fun it was to ride the Segway and our tour guide was awesome! We enjoyed the tour of Balboa Park. Bridgette was very knowledgeable.

Awesome Segway outing

Alison_L, May 2022

Seeing the rose fades in full bloom and hearing about the history of Balboa park from a personable and knowledgeable guide made for a memorable excursion. Highly recommend!

Segway is the best way to see Balboa Park

Marie_L, May 2022

We had such much fun!! Bridgette, our tour guide, was awesome. She was energetic and super knowledgeable. Balboa Park should be on everyone’s list when visiting San Diego. Seeing it by Segway made it extra fun. We loved it!!

So much fun!!

Sarah_F, Mar 2022

We had a great afternoon. Bridgette was a great teacher and guide. It was so much fun! Would highly recommend

Gorgeous day to Segway

Rose_P, Feb 2022

Great way to experience riding a Segway and to get an overview of Balboa park. Bridget is an experienced guide and ensured we were comfortable and safe. We took appropriate breaks—your feet do get tired!

Best Tour in San Diego

Steve_T, Nov 2021

Brigette was a great guide, informative and fun. Took us to places we did not know existed in Balboa Park, even though we had been there before. We highly recommend Bridgette and her company.

Family fun

Lisa_R, Jun 2021

Loved Brigitte. Great personality and especially good with teenagers who might try to test the boundaries. My kids also loved her and thought the tour was “cool”.

Tour Couldn’t Have Been Better

Bridgette was a fantastic tour guide. She was very knowledgeable as it relates to Balboa Park. Was super easy to work with and went the extra mile

Balboa Park

kthinc, Feb 2020

The initial practice on the Segways did not prevent an accident from happening so I think that the practice session time should be based on the experience and comfort level of each participant. Once the tour stated, it was delightful! Chris was Knowledgeable, friendly and tuned into the needs of his riders.

Great Balboa Park Segway Tour

Ken_P, Jan 2020

Bridgette did a great job and provided us all kinds of interesting information. I highly recommend this tour with her.

Segway Tour of Balboa Park

Karen_P, Jan 2020

My husband and I really enjoyed our private segway tour of Balboa Park with Bridgette. She was a delightful guide who made sure we traveled safely on the segways and provided us with a lot of information about Balboa Park.

Bridgette was an excellent tour guide and Segway instructor.

ColleenF_S, Sep 2019

Our group of four all enjoyed our tour! Such a unique experience to glide along the paths of Balboa Park and see the sites. Bridgette put us all at ease and has created a very relaxed and informative ride through the park.

Saundra G, Jan 2018

Bridgette was a great instructor. We practiced in the parking lot before exploring the park. She was very patient and encouraging when I was frightened. She shared very interesting history of Balboa Park. I feel like the private tour allowed you to learn and move at a pace you are comfortable with. Starting the tour in the park instead of beginning on city streets is a much better idea. Even though it was a bit frightening, I enjoyed the experience and would do it again. My husband also enjoyed the experience and had absolutely no trouble manouvering the Segway. Book a tour with Bridgette!

Stephanie L, Nov 2017

This was the highlight of our staycation. We live in Orange County and spent a few days in the San Diego area. Our guide was the absolute best. We were able to see the entire Balboa Park. It was safe and very easy to learn to ride the Segway - I was a little worried at first as I am not the best bike rider. I never felt nervous or unsafe. Our guide was ontime, waiting for us, took her time and didn't rush, had great information but made it fun. My teenage daughters were with me and they said this was the best!

Tracy R, Aug 2017

The tour was really interesting and the park was beautiful! Bridgette made learning the Segway much less scary than I thought it would be. She was patient and let us practice until we felt secure enough to go out. She was very knowledgeable about the park and that made the tour great!

Timothy T, Jun 2017

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.

Bridgette ROCKS!! She made this...

Michelle d, Jun 2017

Bridgette ROCKS!! She made this experience so much fun and interesting. We'd never been on a segway before and Bridgette provide an atmosphere where we felt safe and comfortable. Her knowledge of her city's history and the plants and trees showed how much she respects and admires it. Thank you Bridgette for a great time!!

Ben_O, May 2017

Loved it, our guide was super knowledgeable and friendly. Great way to see SD if you're on a tight schedule! PS anyone can ride a Segway I was super scared I wouldn't get it, but felt confident within less than 10 min on it. Don't hesitate :
