Just do it, so much fun!
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.

First Time Visiting Galveston
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.

Must do when visiting Galveston (anytime of year; 10AM time slot in the Summer works well!)
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’s tour
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.
N
Very Much worth it! 5 stars.
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.
