Lots of fun and very informative.The tour gives you a good first impression of Halifax and you’ll be given a detailed introduction to riding a Segway and plenty of time to get used to it. Would highly recommend.
Great overview of Halifax sites and history. We covered a lot of information and ground! Loved being on a Segway – especially on the hills. Annabelle was a great guide!
This was a fantastic tour which covered all the Halifax highlights. Annabelle our tour guide was great! So professional, knowledgeable and most importantly safe in our route around the streets of Halifax. I had booked the 10am tour which includes the noon cannon at the Citadel, which is a great experience. We had two people on the tour who had never been on a Segway, but the training they received before we set out had them up and riding in no time, and they had no issues on the tour. Definitely recommend this tour
I really enjoyed this tour. Good instruction on how to use it. Nice small group.
This Segway tour was outstanding. We have been on over a dozen tours, none of which were three hours. It was a nice balance of riding and getting off the SEGWAY to walk around and stretch our legs. We particularly liked the stops at the public gardens and at the Citadel. We arrived at the Citadel in time for the cannon shot at noon. It was incredibly loud but very cool. We then saw the changing of the guard and went inside to look at the grounds. Our two guides (Shannon and Annabelle) were very knowledgeable, friendly and led a safe tour.
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!
