This was our first time on a Segway (we are in our 70s). Easy to ride and lots of fun. My wife and myself were the only two in the tour so we had a private tour with John. John was extremely helpful to our needs and knew the area like the back of his hand. Would definitely do a tour again the next time we are in Atlanta.
It takes a little while to feel comfortable using the segway but John was very patient and an excellent teacher. Zooming around the city was fun and I enjoyed the tour.
So much fun! There were a few people in our group who were nervous about the Segway and traffic. It was wasted energy. The staff made us comfortable on the Segway with thorough hands on training before we hit the road. The tour was informative and fun. The guide was outgoing and accommodating. Top notch experience.
Fun way to explore Atlanta, beautiful areas. Would recommend this adventure. We stayed downtown and it was nice to see the surrounding area and learn a little history as well.
Great tour guide. He made sure we could safely cross city streets on the Midtown tour. Very nice guide. Excellent locations visited: Georgia Tech, Ansley Park, Olympic Park, etc.
Great way to see the sights in and around Atlanta! The initial hands on tutorial was great to find my proverbial feet! Guide was very attentive to point out any bumps and signal directions. Would recommend to anyone new to Atlanta or segways!
Unique, Fun Way to See a Lot. Has pouch to store belongings. Entrance is next to the convenience store. Our guide, John, was great!
The segway tour of midtown Atlanta was a lot of fun and enjoyable. Our tour guide, John, was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He thoroughly reviewed the safety instructions and made sure that everyone was comfortable on riding the segway. It was the best segway tour we have experienced so far!
