Overview

Join me on a journey through one of San Diego's most iconic places. Since this park is large, we will be touring the major sites with the wind in our hair on electric scooters. No walking required ;) The first stop will be the beautiful botanical building and lily pond where we will pause for some pictures. Next, we will briefly cruise to the entrance to the San Diego Zoo before heading to the Spanish Village Arts Center. We will then scoot to the Morton Bay Fig Tree. It's then time to ride down the iconic El Prado passing fountains & museums along the way. After a quick stop, we will head past the International cottages on our way to the air and space museum. We will wrap up at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion before heading back to where we started. Photos of your adventure are included! If you want to see Balboa park in an efficient & unique way with a local guide, then this is the tour for you! (Tips are not required but are always appreciated :)

Meeting points

We will meet in a small parking lot directly off Balboa Drive. There is no exact address, use the GPS links below to navigate. When you arrive, look for my gray Mazda CX-9 with cargo box on the hitch.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Day trip to San Diego…

Published on Jan, 2025

This was a really cool way to visit the park. Jesse was a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. If you’re considering booking.. Do It!

Fun for all ages!

Published on Dec, 2024

This was an amazing way to see Balboa park. Jesse was friendly and full of information. Everyone in our group (ages 12- 65) enjoyed themselves. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants to see Balboa park.

Fun and informative

Published on Dec, 2024

The tour was actually easy to find, despite my concern. Getting reminder text message with exact map location was very helpful. Our Uber dropped us off and we just had to walk across a small patch of grass to find our guide. Jesse was very friendly and knowledgeable. He made sure we were very comfortable on the scooters and was very encouraging. The tour was interesting and we covered a lot of ground - with a few stops to explore for a few minutes. Just overall a great experience and escape which would not have been possible on foot.

Great option when you don’t know where to start!

Published on Nov, 2024

One of the best tours and tour guides! He takes a lot of photos for your group which is a bonus! Directions to the starting location is simple and without any experience on an electric scooter, he gave a quick practice run!

Fun experience to share with my teenage grandson

Published on Nov, 2024

I never thought I’d enjoy a scooter ride in my own city so much. Jesse was patient, as it was my first time on a scooter, and informative. I went with my 16 year old grandson and he said he had fun doing this ride with grandma.
