Thank you to the entire staff at Another Side of San Diego Tours. I am especially appreciative to Alana Verdugo, the Operations Manager, who reserved and customized our experience. The tour guides were phenomenal and knowledgeable about Balboa Park. Amy was the best Team 3 guide and won the challenge! Thank you for providing water and snacks for everyone. That really helped provide us with a bit of energy as we were running or speed walking trying to find answers to clues. Well worth the time, money, energy!!!!!

Took a segway tour around Balboa Park with my husband and teenage children. It was brilliant! Mari was a great guide, knowledgable and very friendly. She explained how to use the segways in an easy to understand manner and we had no problems at all. The park is stunning and the segways were a great way to see it, plus keeping the kids happy! Highly recommended.
