San Diego Balboa Park fremhæver Small Group Tour med kaffe
Beskrivelse
Balboa Park er en af San Diego's mest ikoniske destinationer, men med mere end 1.200 acres af museer, haver og historisk arkitektur kan det være overvældende at udforske på egen hånd. Denne guidede vandretur bringer parken til live gennem engagerende historier, kontekst og nøje udvalgte højdepunkter. Nu i vores 10. år, er vi stolte af at være en af de længst løbende turoperatører i parken. Din guide forklarer ikke kun, hvad du ser, men hvorfor det er der - frigør symbolikken af den spanske koloniale genoplivningsarkitektur, introducerer folkene bag parkens skabelse og peger på detaljer mange besøgende savner. Turen blander ikoniske seværdigheder med roligere hjørner, bevæger sig i et afslappet tempo og giver tid til fotos, spørgsmål og samtale. Delvejs igennem, nyd et afslappet drikkehold, hvilket giver dig mulighed for at hvile og genoplade, før du fortsætter din gåtur. - Oplev Balboa Parks højdepunkter - Arkitektur, historie og skjulte detaljer forklaret - Inkluderer drikke stop

Rejseplan
Balboa Park er San Diegos kulturelle juvel med masser af arkitektur, haver og kulturelle organisationer. Hold et kamera ved hånden, da der er Instagram-spots rundt om hvert hjørne.
Vi holder pause på vores tur over broen for at beundre udsigten over centrum, San Diego Zoo og den historiske motorvej nedenfor.
California Tower er et vartegn ikke kun for parken, men også for San Diego. Det næsten 200 fod høje tårn blev bygget til Panama California Exposition i 1915, og historien om San Diegos grundlæggelse i dens udsmykkede facade. Vi får tre fantastiske udsigter over tårnet, hver smukkere end den næste.
Oprindeligt udviklet til 1915-udstillingen, denne have blev redesignet til 1935-udstillingen ud for Alcazar-haverne i Sevilla, Spanien
De tre teatre i dette kompleks har imponeret publikum siden den oprindelige konstruktion til California Pacific International Exposition i 1935. Din guide vil give dig scoop på at få billetter, når shows er i produktion.
Denne plads er omgivet af kulturelle organisationer og spisesteder. Vi giver alle de detaljer, du behøver at vide for yderligere udforskning efter turen.
Denne bygning var den største af sin art, da den blev bygget til udstillingen i 1915, og en af fire bygninger bygget til at holde ud over festlighederne. Foran den er en historisk dam, hvor vi vil se koi og andet dyreliv.
Denne farverige samling af hytter, bygget til California Pacific International Exposition i 1935, huser 37 atelierer og mange flere kunstnere. Du har en chance for at udforske denne unikke landsby, og også snuppe en drink!
Plantet til 1915-udstillingen har dette storslåede træ set meget i århundredet siden, og vi kommer helt tæt på og personlige takket være en ny udsigtsplatform.
Opkaldt efter grundlæggeren af Committee of One Hundred tiltrækker dette springvand børn, hunde og fugle, plus har også en overraskende funktion, der aktiveres af flådecentret ved siden af.
Denne bygning, som er hjemsted for mange kulturelle og botaniske organisationer, rummer også hemmelighederne om, hvordan parkens detaljerede arkitektur blev skabt hurtigt og billigt.
Hovedområdet for 1915 udstillingen, de prydede bygninger har en interessant historie, og nogle overraskende arkitektoniske detaljer.

Our guide Jennifer was not only extremely knowledgeable about the history of Balboa Park, but made it very entertaining with her witty humor! Definitely a five star experience and look forward to catching her again on a different tour.
Jennifer was a great tour guide. Very attentive and helpful.
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the tour and hope all the photos turned out great. Looking forward to see you back sometime!
Linda was awesome and we learned so much! Will be back. We will do more tours with her. Can't wait to explore further.
So glad you had a great time and look forward to your return for more exploring. Thanks so much for joining us! - Jennifer
We had such a wonderful visit and tour. Our group's age range was 4 to 90, and we all loved the pace and stories and experience. Jennifer is full of so many wonderful insights and stories, and took good care of us.
You know it's a good tour, and you were a great group, when other guests mention you in THEIR reviews! So glad the whole family enjoyed it and thanks for letting me be part of such a special celebration! Hope to see y'all back again sometime!
We learned more about Balboa Park than if we walked the grounds on our own. Jennifer was very informative and a great guide. Thank you Jen for a wonderful tour!
Thank you so much — that's exactly the goal! Balboa Park has so many layers that are easy to miss on your own and digging deeper. So glad you enjoyed it and hope to see you back in San Diego sometime!
Good overview of Balboa Park. The guide was very knowledgeable about the park's history. Perhaps walking at a faster pace and more time at the Spanish Village Art Center would improve the tour.
Thank you for the feedback! We aim for an overview of the park and try to pace the tour to work for everyone in the group. And yes the Spanish Village Art Center is such a gem and one of the more popular spots guests return to for further exploration. Thanks so much for joining us!
This was a wonderful experience for our first time to Balboa Park! Jennifer was our guide and she was lovely, extremely informative, and kept our group of 14 organized! My husband and I were in a group with the Sanchez family who were celebrating their father’s 90th birthday and he walked all over the park like a champ! I would highly recommend this tour and we hope that Mr. Sanchez had a phenomenal birthday with his amazing family!! Definitely a “must do tour” when you visit San Diego! Thank you Jennifer!
What a special morning that was! I love that you got to share the experience with the Sanchez family — a 90th birthday celebration in Balboa Park is pretty hard to beat and Mr. Sanchez was an absolute champ. Plus you blended in so well with a much larger group - I think you're part of the family now! So glad your first visit to the park was such a memorable one. Thanks so much for joining all of us and hope to see you both back in San Diego sometime!
Easy to book... several clear reminders of time and place of tour. Good directions. Jennifer was a very pleasant, knowledgeable and organized guide. She gave us a head's up on the Friday's night special at the natural museum with their night-time viewing, and light and delicious dinner on the rooftop terrace. A very nice way to end the day. We loved the history of all that we saw and felt we learned quite a bit. We felt we got a great overview of Balboa Park, and we were able to make mindful decisions for the next day explorations. We even stopped for another refreshing drink at Daniel's :-)
Thank you so much for the kind words! I love when the tour turns into a jumping off point for more exploring — sounds like you made the most of your time in the park. The Friday "NAT at Night" event is one of my favorites and Daniel's never disappoints! So glad you joined and hope to see you back in San Diego sometime!
Had a great tour of Balboa Park with Jennifer. It was a small tour of 4 people which made it easy to hear her and the information provided. There is a lot of history and detail that would be missed if never taking the tour. She drinks provided were a nice treat too. Highly recommend the tour for first timers and for people who have been before to learn more about the history of the park.
Balboa Park has so many layers and I love that the tour works for first timers and repeat visitors alike. So glad you joined on a special visit, and thanks so much for the recommendation! Hope you'll be back again sometime!
Me and my husband booked this walking tour to learn more about Balboa Park, and we could not be happier with the experience. Jennifer was our guide, and she did an amazing job! The tour was enjoyable, informative, and conducted in such a warm and friendly atmosphere. We learned so much about the history and beauty of this stunning park thanks to Jennifer’s knowledge and enthusiasm. The coffee break at the charming Spanish Village Art Center in the middle of the tour was a wonderful and relaxing addition to the experience. We highly recommend this walking tour to anyone visiting the area!
So glad you and your husband had a great time! Balboa Park really does have so much to offer and I love sharing its history and beauty. And the Spanish Village is such a perfect spot for a coffee break (it's one of my favorite parts of the tour!). Thanks so much for the recommendation and lovely feedback, and hope to see you back in San Diego sometime!
