Description:
Hop on the quiet wheels of a smooth-riding Segway and head into the heart of San Diego, exploring its historic neighborhoods and getting up-close looks at the bustling activity along the famous waterfront. With a knowledgeable local blazing the trail, uncover the Gaslamp Quarter and the Embarcadero.
Your day begins with a crash course in Segway riding as you don a helmet and find out how to lean and steer these futuristic contraptions. When you feel confident making tight turns and smooth starts, follow your intrepid leader into the city, heading for the longstanding façades of the Gaslamp Quarter.
As the oldest neighborhood in the city, this colorful district is filled with buildings that date back to the 19th century. Snap photos of their Victorian architecture and hear stories about San Diego’s Gold Rush days as you cruise down red brick sidewalks.
With the stories of pirates and sailors still fresh in your memory, make your way toward the waterfront and enjoy a quick detour past Petco Park, where the Padres take on baseball’s best. Reach the Embarcadero and savor stunning bay views while you look for hulking Navy ships like the USS Midway and the classic wooden tall ship Star of India.
Listen to your guide explain how this sun-drenched strip of Southern California became an important military base and how its early fishing industries brought thousands of immigrants looking to cash in on the area’s rich waters. After a few photo stops at the Tuna pier and Urban Tree Exhibit, head back to your starting point to compare riding experiences and get a few tips from your guide on other places to check out throughout the city.
