Nice and comfortable tour - The tour guide Rachel is very nice and knowledgeable. It was our first time to ride segway. We were afraid of falling at the beginning. After training, the ride is very enjoyable. We had very good experience and time.

Great tour, great guide and great way to get around - Wonderful tour w/ Racheal. She was quick to teach us the Segway, informative, and a joy to be around. Our family saw so much and had a great time together. The Segway is a perfect way to get around!

Unique and fun way to explore the city! - We had such a wonderful time! We booked the Segway history tour, and we're pleasantly surprised to learn We had the tour guide all to ourselves. I guess the 10am tour on the Sunday morning of St. Paddy's day isn't a popular time! Henry, our amazing guide, gave us a pretty unique tour after asking if we were also interested in some of the mural art around the city. We got a blend of both tours! He also pointed out some great eateries and local experiences to check out during our stay, several of which we went on to do later in the day. (Thanks, Henry!) The Segway experience itself was so incredibly fun! Within a couple of minutes, we were both comfortable, ans within a half hour, it felt like an extension of our own bodies - totally intuitive! I highly recommend this unique experience!

Great Tour of Richmond - Fantastic initial tour of Richmond. Our guide took us to main sites and shared interesting stories so we could go back to the places that interested us. Also we were running a bit late and they waited up for us. Appreciate the flexibility!

So much fun and interesting way to see Richmond's landmarks. - Overall, the Richmond Landmark Segway Tour offers a perfect blend of fun and learning, making it an absolute must-do for anyone visiting the area.
The tour was led by the charismatic and knowledgeable guide, John, and was an amazing blend of fun and education.
Zooming through the city streets on Segways added an extra layer of fun to the adventure. This was the first time we were on Segways and after a quick lesson, they are so easy to ride and so much fun. The Segways provide a thrilling way to explore Richmond's iconic landmarks. Highly recommend this tour.

Great way to see Richmond! - Our tour guide , Henry was very knowledgeable. With his passion for history and the city of Richmond, he made the tour fascinating. Best of all was his ability to successfully train a nervous novice to ride a Segway!

Segway was easy and awesome. Our guide John was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. My wife and I had an awesome. - We were only in Richmond for the day but wanted to get to know the city a little. We only did 1 hour tour but it felt much longer. My wife and I picked up the Segway pretty quickly and we were off. We visited some historical sites and our guide John was very knowledgeable about the area and its history. We ended our tour at the state capitol building and the Governors Mansion. I love Richmond and now to buy a Segway.
