Great, fun tour! - Jesse’s tour better than expected. We did both the Coronado Island and the Balboa Park tour; we were able to see both without walking for hours. Jesse’s knowledge of the area and history is impressive. He was able to give a comprehensive overview of Balboa Park and Coronado Island without boring my teenage nephew, which is very hard to do. In addition to his great tour, he took many great photos of us. Honestly, it was almost worth it for the photos. I highly suggest this tour. Sdonewheel.com.

Fun scooter ride, great guide - Jesse gave us a great tour of Balboa Park on the scooters. The scooters were in great condition, easy to ride, all instructions needed were provided to us. Jesse rode with us, shared the history behind the park and the multiple attractions within it and also took great pictures of us in multiple spots. The scooters were a great way to cover ground within the large park in an efficient manner. Highly recommend

A Must Do! - Jesse is amazing! This was our first time in San Diego so we were trying to do everything we could on our short trip. We were able to hit all the must see spots in Balboa Park and get some great advice on what to do with the rest of our day. Highly recommend!

Fantastic way to see scope and beauty of Balboa Park - Absolutely terrific tour of Balboa park. We only had a few hours and this was the best way to see the park and understand how much it offers everyone. We had a rare rainy, windy day which didn’t faze Jesse at all. He knows the history and loves the park and the city; it was a great use of our few hours.

A Must Do Activity! - My teenage son and I did the Balboa Park tour with Jesse and had the best time! Jesse took us to all the fun spots throughout the park, all while telling us interesting and fun facts about the museums, the shops and even the landscape! He took a ton of photos of my son and I that we wouldn’t have otherwise got! He gave us time off the scooters to wonder around the studios and the cactus/rose gardens. I highly recommend this tour. Well worth the money and the kids in the family will love the E Scooters. Jesse was also super accommodating with our schedule. We had an earlier activity that ended before we thought it would, and Jesse was able to get us on an earlier tour with no problem. His response time is super quick! Next time I’m in town, I definitely want to do the Coronado Island tour. Thanks for making this such a fun activity Jesse!
