If you can stand up unaided you can most likely ride a Segway. Remember that you don't have to balance a
Segway, it's balances you backwards
and forward so you're in excellent hands. Our Segway Tour Guides are fully equiped to give you the best
training experience to
help you feel confident to operate a Segway before you go on a tour. We're confident that it will become
intuitive within just a few minutes.
A Segway is reading your balance about 100 times every second and is working hard to keep you safe all the
time. Our guides will give you all
the information you need to know how to safely operate a Segway. As long as you adhere to the directions
of your guide you will be kept safe
at all times.
Not even rain will stop us from giving you an incredible Segway experience. Segways will still operate in
rainy conditions. Only if it's icy, severe
weather or thunder storms will we reschedule a tour. As we'll have the contact information of all the
riders scheduled on a tour, we will do our best
to let you know as far in advance as possible if your tour will be affected by the weather.
We can cater for very large groups. As we're in multiple locations if needed we can bring in Segways from
our other locations if the size of the group
requires it. However, in order that you can enjoy the full experience we tend to keep it to about 8 riders
per tour guide so that safety and participation
can be given consideration. A large group of 32 riders will be able to depart at the same time in 4 groups
of 8, each with their own guide.
Please make sure you have some food in your stomach before the tour and are hydrated. We give our tours in
the Texas sun which can sometimes be a bit
warmer than you may be used to. We can�t emphasize enough to bring a bottle of water (we also have some
for sale in the store) to take with you on the
tour. Also wear sunscreen, and close-toed, flat comfortable shoes.
Please arrive just 5 - 10 minutes before tour time. We will start everything right at your designated tour
time. If you are more than 15 minutes late,
be advised that the tour may have to leave without you and you are still responsible for paying for your
reserved spots.
Yes, the tour time includes approximately 30 minutes for training time and paperwork. Our staff always
attempts to get this part done as quickly
and efficiently as possible.
Gratuities are not required, but are greatly appreciated. Our tour
guides work very hard to give you a great experience, and would be
thrilled if you showed your appreciation after an enjoyable tour. We
recommend a standard of $10 per person, but feel free to tip more if
your guide did a superb job!
All of our tours travel through historic
downtown Austin locations, including the Texas Capitol. Our seasonal
bat tour also stops at Congress Avenue Bridge to watch millions of bats
take off over the city. We are able to cover more ground and stop at
more sights on our longer tours.
Yes. We provide dual certified (skateboarding and cycling) helmets in all sizes for our guests as part of
the tour price, however,
you are more than welcome to bring your own.
Yes. We book our tours in advance and therefore cannot guarantee spots for walk-ins. Please call ahead or
book online as soon as possible to reserve your spots
on a tour. For �specialty� tours such as the Cultural Campus, Choose Cruise, and Night Life tour, please
call for details and reservations as those are not standard
tours with standing daily tour times.
Absolutely! We're fully equipped to sell brand new Segways with full warrantees. And if you really want,
we can ever sell you the very Segway you took on your tour and have it properly registered to you with
Segway Inc.
