Fun Tour - 'Sarge' was a good guide and provided an entertaining tour, though it was a bit fast paced and didn't allow for many questions. Good way to see many of the city highlights without having to deal much with traffic.

It was a very pleasant... - It was a very pleasant experience to visit Philadelphia by segway. Sarge started to explain us exactly how to use the segway and after that, we did a tour in whole the town. Sarge explained all about what we saw and took many pictures for us. Wonderful experience

An urban adventure - I did the Segway Tour on a Thursday. I LOVED it. I only had 1 day in my itinerary to explore Philadelphia as I was on a business trip. This tour allowed me to visit multiple tourist attractions within 2 hours. On top of that, it was a thrilling to dodge parked vehicles on the bike lane and switching back and forth from bike lane, to sidewalk, and then to the road. Sounds dangerous, but the tour guide (Sorry I've forgotten the game) always made sure it was safe to do these things. Overall, I would recommend everyone to do so, but these are the things to consider: 1) How hard it is to ride a Segway? It was my first time riding a Segway. But if you are a snowboarder like me, you will find a lot of similarities between the two. So, I would say it took me 10 or so minutes to feel pretty in control and maybe half an hour to feel completely in control. 2) It may look pretty effortless, but it was pretty tiring as you would be standing the whole time. 3) You will be travelling on various surfaces (road, sidewalk, walking trail, bike lanes) with various obstacles (pedestrians, parked cars, cars, etc). Be prepared!

Sarge commanded our attention - Sarge did a great job of showing us the town. His knowledge and passion from Philly was excellent and he does a great job of teaching us as we made our way around the city. We had a blast and the Segway's just made it better.

Fun exploring Philly with CC - Travel guide, CC, was great, fun and informative. Loved the ear baby SS in order to hear clearly. Took two trips on two separate days. One was two hours and one was one hour but both were actually longer than stated. We saw different places on both days. We felt very safe the whole time and had a lot of fun exploring Philly. Highly recommend!
