Great way to see the city of Halifax and learn about the history in a fun way. Segways are easy to use and great way to get around.
Really a great trip to see Halifax and learn the history. It was actually our second time in this tour and learn new history each time
We had a great Segway Tour of Halifax. We quickly were able to visit many or the top attractions that are already on your list to see. Shannon and Annabelle did a great job of introducing us safely to how to step on, ride and get off a Segway. They told us of the top three things to avoid doing as well. They were fun, genuine and informative on the sights we saw. They even perfectly timed our arrival to the Citadel for the noon cannon firing. Thanks for a fun day!

An absolute must to see the city of Halifax!! Our Guides Annabell and Shannon were knowledgeable, thoughtful and had great sense of humor! An excellent way to spend your afternoon . Don’t be afraid, excellent instruction and practice before tour!!
It was canceled because of rain. I got an email oe text fom the provider saying g that since it was scheduled through viator that they would have to approve the refund. I thought I seduced through trip advisor but they said it was Victor
Hi there, We do apologize for the confustion and understand your frustration! Viator is the company that TripAdvisor uses for booking tours and other activities. Unfortunately, when booking through a third party like TripAdvisor/Viator, we cannot process the refund and it does have to go through the party you booked through. We also are disappointed we couldn't get you out on a tour, but we hope you enjoyed your trip anyway!
My brother, friend and I had a wonderfully excited Segway experience with our guide who was well-educated, friendly, informative and very familiar with the Halifax area. He made our Halifax City Spin quite enjoyable. Our Segways were in excellent working order. We were given a choice of helmuts - including fun ones that made one of our group look like a funny puppy with floppy ears. I rate this unique adventure 5+ stars!
Halifax is such a beautiful city, and seeing my Segway is a great way to soak it in. Our Segway tour was led my Spencer and you just could not ask for a more personable , informed guide, especially with his cool and calm demeanor. He guided us safely through town, explaining the sights as we went, He trained us, guided us, and made sure were safe and comfortable throughout the experience. If you're visiting Halifax, I very strongly suggest trying out Halifax Segway City Spin (and be sure to include the Noon Gun!)
Great time , knowledgeable staff , very professional , great job at teaching how to ride the segways for first timers. Thank you
Hi Eric, We're so glad to hear you had a great time! We definitely like to ensure that everyone is comfortable and safe on the Segway's before we head out into the city! Glad your group had a great time.
Spencer was a great guide, he was pretty patient with us since we have never used a Segway before and always checking on our safety. We had the chance to see the city in a different and entertaining way.
Hi there, We're so glad to hear you had a great time and felt good on the Segways as first time riders! We have a great city here and we love showing it off! Thank you for the great review!
