Jeff was a great coach and tour guide and this group of 7 “older” women really enjoyed ourselves. We covered so much ground on the Gaslamp Tour and love Balboa Park!! Would highly recommend you take advantage of a Segway Tour while in San Diego!!
Another Side of San Diego...on the segway!

Joshua gave an awesome tour of the San Diego gaslamp and the harbor. We are San Diego natives but Joshua was able to give tidbits of the Gaslamp history that we never knew about. It was an overall fun day, weather was excellent, and the segways were really safe and fun to ride. Definitely doing another tour with Another Side of San Diego tours!
Awesome tour!

What a great way to spend your day in San Diego! We are Segway aficionados having done them in Washington DC, Savanah and more. Our guide Adam was up there with the best. We had a great time thanks to his knowledge and professionalism. I would highly recommend this as a way to see “Another side of San Diego!” Thank you Adam for the awesome day.
Personal history tour of the City

I had a great time! By circumstance it ended up being a private tour. My guide was excellent and I got to cover a ton of ground. I feel like I got a great understanding of the city and learned a lot. Note to others: wear sunscreen!
Great tour

This was a great tour! Using a Segway to get around was a great way to cover the area and not having done it before I found it quite easy to use.
The tour guide Salem was excellent and very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this to others.
