Was a great and fun tour with the history of Galveston not just the wood carvings. Tour guide was very friendly and knowledgable.
Our tour guide, Dee, was amazing!! it was rainy and stormy the morning we booked our tour, so we stayed in contact with Dee who watched the weather carefully and rescheduled us for later that afternoon. I have been coming to Galveston, all my life, and thought I knew a lot about the city. However, I learned so much on this tour and had so much fun! Dee was so knowledgeable and gave us a real local perspective of wonderful Galveston. 10 out of 10!
Matthew was phenomenal! He's friendly and knowledgeable. We are regulars on the island but this was our first Segway trip. We loved it.
Our guide had a great knowledge of Galveston and was great at sharing his knowledge. We had a great time from start to finish. Highly recommend taking a tour because you will not be disappointed
The Segway tour was amazing! The tour guide was very knowledgeable about Galveston and allowed us to really take in all that the island has to offer. We would definitely do the tour again and recommend it to anyone coming to Galveston.
Matthew led our Segway tour of Galveston and shared lots of the city’s history. We viewed many of the tree carvings up close and loved the beautiful but toxic oleander. Great way to cover a lot of the area without wearing yourself out walking!
Matthew was very good about teaching us how to operate the Segway, and then making sure we were safe during the trip. We enjoyed the tour immensely.
Wonderful tour. Guide was so friendly and knew so many things about Galveston. He was very professional and kind. Highly recommend !
Matthew was an awesome guide. He took the time to help us learn how to ride, asked us what we would like to see and hear, was very informative and helped when we had any problems! Highly recommend this for a fun afternoon!
Segway itself was easy to learn. I had a moment of panic, but our tour guide gave me easy-to-follow instructions, and I was able to get control again. The tour was fun, informative, and lovely. I am a local and learned history and saw tree carvings I didn't know and hadn't found yet. I recommend the experience and the tour. We went in the morning, so, though it was hot, it wasn't unbearable.
