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.
