“Juan was an excellent tour guide and instructor on the Segways. I would have given the tour a perfect 5, but I felt we didn't spend as much time in the park itself as expected. At most 1 hour was spend in the park. The rest of the time was in training and navigating on the Segways on the streets to and from the park. But still, this was an excellent adventure!”
