Excellent tour! So much fun!
Excellent tour! Jeff was knowledgeable, patient and made the trip so much fun! We saw so much of San Diego that we wouldn’t normally get to see on our own.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a fun time exploring San Diego with Jeff. Jeff is an excellent guide, and we are so glad his knowledge, patience, and personality helped make the experience so enjoyable. One of the best parts of touring San Diego by Segway is being able to cover so much ground and discover places you might never come across on your own. Thank you for choosing Another Side Tours and for sharing your experience. We truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you back for another adventure with us in San Diego, Los Angeles, or Las Vegas! All The Best, Kenneth Another Side Tours

Excellent Segway Tour
It was an amazing tour! Was our first time riding a Segway. Our guide Jeff was so much fun showing us around the Gaslamp district and we wanted to do this again in La Jolla but didn’t have enough time. Julia is another guide who tagged alongside us and was super knowledgeable about the area too! Lucky for us, we booked on a weekday and had the tour to ourselves, so basically a private tour. Will definitely use them again and request Jeff or Julia! I highly recommend them!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We are thrilled that your very first Segway experience was such a memorable one and that you had such a great time exploring the Gaslamp Quarter with Jeff and Julia. Jeff is such a fun guide, and Julia brings an incredible amount of knowledge about San Diego, so it sounds like you had a pretty amazing team showing you around! We are also glad the weekday timing worked out so perfectly and gave you such a personalized experience. We would absolutely love to have you back for that La Jolla Segway Tour next time you are in San Diego. There is so much more to explore, and we will be happy to have Jeff or Julia take great care of you again. Thank you for the wonderful recommendation and for choosing Another Side Tours. We hope to see you again soon in San Diego, Los Angeles, or Las Vegas! All The Best, Kenneth Another Side Tours

Amazing ride with Jeff W -- would definitely book again!!!
Phenomenal tour with Jeff -- this is our fifth Segway excursion (in different cities) and we loved the personal touches on the tour. We seriously don't think it could have been any better. We will 100% be recommending this for company to friends and family. If you want to get the lay off the land before setting off to enjoy the area... this is a fantastic way to do it. In fact, we used the tour information already to have a great meal and a wonderful walk back. Truly all we hoped it would be. Thanks to Jeff and Kenny (and Judy) for all the recommendations. Great customer service and NO issues with directions, reminders, or anything. Grateful we still have companies like this to make visiting San Diego a true treasure! R & S
Response from the operator: Dear R & S, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such an incredible and thoughtful review. It truly means a lot to our entire team. I love hearing that this was your fifth Segway tour and that it stood out as one of your best experiences. That is exactly what we strive for. Jeff does an amazing job creating a fun, safe, and personalized experience, and I will absolutely share your kind words with him as well as Judy. It is also great to hear that you were able to use the recommendations from the tour to continue enjoying your time in San Diego. That is such an important part of what we do, helping our guests not only during the tour, but throughout their entire visit. We truly appreciate your support, your recommendation to friends and family, and your kind words about our customer service. It means a great deal to us as a small, family run business. Thank you again for choosing to tour with us. If your travels bring you back to San Diego, or to Maui, Los Angeles, or Las Vegas, we would absolutely love to host you again. All The Best, Kenneth

We are avid travelers, so...
We are avid travelers, so we've taken a lot of tours around the world. My youngest son (13) said, "this was hands-down the best tour we've ever taken!" That really sums it up, right there! Would highly recommend!
Response from the operator: What an incredible compliment, thank you so much for this review! Vicky, hearing that your son called this the *best tour you’ve ever taken* truly means the world to us, especially coming from a well-traveled family. That is exactly the kind of experience we strive to create every single day. We are so glad you and your family had such a fun and memorable time exploring the Gaslamp Quarter with us. It is always special when we can deliver something that stands out even among so many travel experiences around the world. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to have the opportunity to host you again, whether here in San Diego or in one of the other cities we operate in, including Los Angeles, Las Vegas, or Maui. All The Best, Kenneth

10/10 Company Activity
Kenneth with Another Side of San Diego tours was AMAZING to work with, we worked together planning over the course of 9 or 10 months and from the very start he was extremely communicative and helpful with planning this group activity. We spoke on the phone multiple times, and always was quick to email me back addressing many questions and changes in group sizes. Our group really loved the Gaslamp tour on their eBikes, I loved hearing about the interesting facts about the San Diego area and the team had some great photo opportunities!
Response from the operator: Dear Discover35439541558, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. It truly means a lot to hear about your experience, especially knowing we worked together over several months to bring this group activity together. I really appreciate your kind words about the planning process. Clear communication, flexibility, and being responsive as plans evolved are incredibly important to us, particularly for group experiences, so it’s great to hear that came through. I’m also thrilled that your group enjoyed the Gaslamp experience on eBikes, the interesting local history, and the great photo opportunities along the way. Thank you again for trusting Another Side Of San Diego Tours with your event. It was a pleasure working with you, and we would love to host you again in the future, whether back here in San Diego or on one of our tours in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, or Maui. All The Best, Kenneth

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
San Diego Gaslamp Segway Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Diego.
How much does San Diego Gaslamp Segway Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $189 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Diego usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does San Diego Gaslamp Segway Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Diego is not rushed.
Is San Diego Gaslamp Segway Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 132 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Diego, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule San Diego Gaslamp Segway Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is San Diego Gaslamp Segway Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book San Diego Gaslamp Segway Tour?
+
Around 46 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Diego can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Diego and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does San Diego Gaslamp Segway Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Diego within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in San Diego?
+
San Diego is an outdoor-first city: whale watching from December through April, La Jolla kayak and snorkel runs year round, harbour cruises and the USS Midway, plus Balboa Park museums when the marine layer sits low. We rank water operators on group ratios and gear quality, which is where the cheap La Jolla trips fall down. On Outty we rank every San Diego experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include USS Midway Museum Admission: Valid Any Date, Taste of Little Italy in San Diego, San Diego Whale Watching Cruise. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit San Diego?
+
March to May and September to November, either side of the June overcast. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in San Diego?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
