    Jennifer was a wealth of knowledge in the history of Balboa Park. As east coasters is was interesting to see the “Smithsonian of the west.” We enjoyed getting to learn more about San Diego with this tour.

    We had a wonderful tour of Balboa Park with Jennifer. She was so knowledgeable and fun. I've been to the park many times but had no idea about its history, architecture and its founders. Jennifer told us wonderful stories about the park from the last 150 years. We had a fantastic visit and can't wait to try one her other tours.

    Jennifer is an excellent guide, very friendly and very knowledgeable. Everything you could ask for in a guide. There is a lot to Balboa Park that you would miss without a guide like Jennifer.

    The meeting place was difficult to find and I think the long walk over the bridge was unnecessary It would be better to start the tour inside the gates and spend more time inside the park…The organ needs a close up view instead of just a glance across the plaza. Jennifer was such a delight…she made the tour a success!

    Jennifer was a great guide, shared most important info, and was mindful of the hot weather, kept us in share the whole time! The drinks were delicious and would recommend getting this tour if you like to take it slow and savor good things. The group was small, so we got to know our company better, it was perfect!

    Jennifer is amazing and the Balboa Park Highlights Tour was a fantastic way to begin our weekend getaway in San Diego & Coronado! Accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable and upbeat, Jennifer gave us a great overview of the park and all it has to offer. Delicious complimentary coffee in a quint artist village, beautiful gardens and architecture, and a great history lesson to boot. I never realized how large Balboa Park actually is - we definitely look forward to going back and exploring some more. And we would definitely tour with San Diego Walks again!
