Downtown San Diego has a rich and wonderful history. On this one-of-a-kind walking tour, you will learn how downtown came from “New town” to the hustle and bustle of our current day Historic Gaslamp Quarter. Our lively, knowledgeable tour guides will narrate the past and present of how this “finest city” successfully transformed into a premier shopping, dining and entertainment district from its significant past as an infamous sailor port. With over 200 restaurants, bars, night clubs and lounges, and countless boutiques, art galleries and shops to peruse, the Historic Gaslamp Quarter has established itself as the playground of hip, diverse San Diegans and as an elite urban destination. This tour will highlight the architecture and history of downtown San Diego’s first buildings, as well as how the culture has changed in this eclectic area over the years.

- How early should I call for a reservation?
- Call as quickly as you can 619-512-3491! Holiday weekends book the earliest in advance. We typically have good availability for weekday tours. Call us as soon as you know your ideal tour dates so that we can work with you to get you booked!
- What are the age/weight limits?
- For Segway Tours 14 years old, but more importantly Segways need riders between 95-280 pounds to succesfully register them on the footpads. No upper age-limit, but you want to be sure you’re comfortable standing for 2 hours. No limits for walking or towncar tours.
- I bought a discounted pre-paid voucher (e.g., Groupon, Living Social, etc) but it has expired. Is there anything you can do?
- Yes! For only an extra $20, you can take any of our Segway tours, even if the difference between $149 and your voucher-value is much greater. We want to be able to share our tours with everyone and still share great deals.
- Shoes
- Flat (no rocking shape-ups) shoes you’re comfortable in for duration of tour work great! Flip-flops, sandals, running shoes are all good
- Tips
- Price of tour does not include a tip; sharing tours is a service business and our guides very much appreciate gratuity, thanks!
- Things to pack
- We provide a bottle of water, and definitely recommend bringing a warm layer. It might get chilly in the shade and we’ll be rolling pretty quick at 12mph
