TAMPA SEGWAY TOURS

A Segway Experience is not a tour. Think of it like a ride at a fair or carnival (only more safe). Everyone wears a helmet and gets complete safety training and then rides a Segway in a controlled area (usually grassy) for a limited amount of time, typically 10 minutes. If you find us at a local event, and you’ve never tried a Segway, this is a GREAT opportunity to take a test drive. You’ll see why we say, “It’s the most fun you can have, standing up!

Yes. We provide standard bike helmets. Our helmets are cleaned after each guest and rotated so you most likely will not use a helmet used earlier that day. If you wish to bring your own helmet, as long as it is a standard bike helmet, you may do so.

Actually, they’re not. Our pricing is $20 less than the National average for a 90-minute or 2-hour guided Segway tour. In all the years we have been in business, we have never raised our prices. Our training is second to none and we provide an experience that is not only safe, but fun for (most) ages and ability levels. There are companies that offer specials or drastically discounted ticket prices. We urge you to take great caution and inquire about safety before you book with such companies. We also urge you to check the quality of the equipment you will be riding. One standard Segway is nearly $7,000 USD, so we ask you, “How much do you think is should cost to ride this amazing piece of technology?” Our machines are name-brand/actual Segway PTs. Segways are the best 2-wheeled/self balancing machines you can ride and ours are maintained to the highest standards. Would you expect anything less for the safety of your loved ones? There is an old saying in business: You get what you pay for. Remember this when you hand your hard-earned money to a small business. Any small business, not just a Segway tour company.

Absolutely! We hold every record for the largest and safest group tours in the industry. Prices vary based on what you want to do, how long and where you want to ride, how “exclusive” you want your tour to be and how private. We’ve done private tours for as few as 1 person and up to 35 people. The larger the group, the more time we need to make arrangements, the more machines we need, those machines have to be moved to the tour location, etc. There are only so many Segways available on any given day, so sometimes we book private tours six months in advance. This guarantees both the number of machines and the private nature of your experience. Couple that with our exclusive training process and you’ll have a day you’ll not soon forget!

Segway tour companies have an unwritten rule we follow. That is, to offer tours in our own area and backdrop. One area might be a beachside tour. Another area might be a historic district and another might be trail riding in a park. We respect the geography of other companies and we expect they will respect ours.

You need to call us as soon as possible. The tour guide has to make arrangements and cannot wait for you to arrive. It’s not fair to the guests who are also waiting for you. We recommend you map the route from your location to the tour location as early as possible and plan accordingly. If you do not have the ability to map the route, just give us a call and we will tell you how long it will take to get to us. We don’t want you to miss out on this amazing experience, so we’re here to help!

This is a GREAT question and one we answer all the time. The answer is not brief, so please read carefully. If you’re a first-timer, then make sure the company you choose is safe. The fun comes later, but you don’t want to risk the safety of your loved ones with a company with shoddy equipment or tour guides who don’t train well and with patience or who hurry through the training process. Riding a Segway can be safer than riding a bicycle even if it is your first time, but training is key as well as how the tour guide manages the tour. We believe these are the elements that make our process the best in the industry. Check out what other sites say about their safety record, if they even mention it. You’ve heard the horror stories, but those incidents could have been avoided with proper training as well as the proper management of the tour. As with anything, accidents can happen, but when you take a tour with us, we’ll teach you just what you need to know so that you’ll have a great time AND you’ll be safe. Of course, if you break rules, do things the tour guide said not to do or act silly while riding, then you increase your chance of having an accident. We promise to ALWAYS do our part to keep you safe. Then you can simply have fun on our tours.

If you already have experience riding a Segway then the answer is simple. Just choose an area you’ve never been or have never seen by Segway. Our tour guides are not historians, but we have knowledge and historical factoids you won’t hear anywhere else, on any tour or any kind. We dispense with information more like a conversation. So go to a place that sounds interesting if you already know how to ride a Segway. By the end of a tour with us, your tour guide will seem like an old friend.
