Thank you! Fun private Segway tour of historical Galveston. Very informative and interesting. Easily accommodated a change of time because of weather.

We were 2 beginners, after a short time practicing in the alley, we were totally comfortable. Larry was our guide. He was very friendly, personable and knowledgeable. We toured around safely learning about the history of Galveston. He gave us recommendations for some free musuems, shopping and restaurants.
Fun and informative would definitely would do it again. They were very informative and knowledgeable.
What a blast! First time doing Segway and it was surprisingly easy for this 60 year old lady. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun. I highly recommend!
This is a great way to become acquainted with Galveston. The tour guide, Matthew, was informative, engaging, and helpful when my daughter became overwhelmed by the heat.
Outstanding experience! We learned a lot about the history of the island and saw many interesting and beautiful sites. The Segways are fun, super easy to ride, and a great way to enjoy sightseeing. Ask for Matt, he's a fantastic guide!
Matt was awesome! Very knowledge, funny and I learned a lot about the history of the island and how resilient the citizens were all through their history. Thanks Matt! Would definitely recommend this tour with Matt.
The guide was fun, funny, informative, & safe conscious! I would highly recommend this tour. Our group were not at all familiar with segways & after his guidance, riding like they had ridden numerous times in the past. They were sore & tired but ready to go again the following day.
Been coming to Galveston for years but never left the Seawall area. The tour was a great way to see amazing parts of the Island that I didn’t know existed plus hear lots of historical information. Highly recommend!
