Jennifer was funny and knew so much about the park and its history. There are fascinating stories that I feel you would only learn about on a tour (unless you do lots of research). Definitely a highlight of our trip

We'd wanted to visit San Diego and go to Balboa Park for years, but the time didn't come until now. My husband and I enjoyed everything Jennifer took us to on the Balboa Park tour! She's a fantastic guide.
