Great way to see the city and learn a little history! - Amazing morning touring around Halifax. This tour company is very professional and safety conscious. Before the tour starts they provide an excellent video covering the do’s and don’t of riding a Segway as well as some operational info. Next you head out for some short instructional training around the parking lot, then you’re off! My guide Mary was fantastic and provided constant commentary along the tour with both historical and current landmark info. I recommend the 10:30am tour as you get to stop at the Citadel when they change the guard and fire the 12:00 cannon!! I highly recommend this tour and be sure to ask for Mary!!

If you’re skeptical, just try it! - Mary gave me a very nice tour. I was nervous about riding a Segway for the first time but Mary put me at ease. It was actually pretty intuitive and I learned a lot about Halifax. Thank you Mary!

Fantastic way to see Halifax! - This was so much fun. Went for a tour of Halifax with my son on the first day of our visit. We had never used a Segway but our tour guides gave us great training and we felt very confident using them. The tour itself was excellent. Our tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and stopped and/or pointed out many local attractions, restaurants, historical sites and more as we toured the city over a two-hour period. It was a great way to get to know Halifax and served as a foundation for our visit and places we choose to explore. Great value for the money.

First time Segway converts - Lauren our guide was clear and patient as we acclimatised to using a Segway for the first time. It was great fun and we gained confidence quickly. We are converted now and would happily do a segway to explore another new city. We really benefited from the earpiece so we could listen and enjoy Lauren's commentary as we manoeuvred around Halifax.

Great way to see the City - This was an amazing way to see the city. Our guide was so wonderful and personable. She made sure that we had the skills that we needed before we began our tour. She did a great job of giving us great information as we were moving along. She was informative and funny. This was our first ever segway tour and she just made it terrific. We will be doing more in the future. If in Halifax this is a must way to see the city! And the company is just a short walk from the cruise port. Sign up now.

Fun tour, but… - The staff were nice, the ride was fun, but unfortunately my husband’s headset didn’t work so he missed most of the guides descriptions of the sites and the city. We mentioned it more than once and she said the headsets were old and she forgot to bring spares and moved on.
