San Francisco 2.5 Hour Waterfront Segway Tour
A city as unique as San Francisco demands a one-of-a-kind way to tour it. And a fun Segway tour is the answer!
More fun than walking, more eco-friendly than driving -- the Segway is

you'll explore the San Francisco waterfront with a fully narrated tour.
Tours are limited to ten riders and ages 12 and up over 100 lbs (45
kilos) are welcome
Your guide, while knowledgeable of local history and tourist information, is an experienced Segway trainer that will assist you throughout the Tiour with your segway riding techniques and provide you with various Segway skills.

Routes in San Francisco are mainly on designated bike lanes. These bike lanes are adjacent to city streets. In some places the bike lane is the full width of the city street. We are in a busy big city and will be in some high traffic areas. San Francisco has more bike lanes per square mile than any other US City. Unlike Segway tours in other US cities we cannot operate the tours on the sidewalk. Each Segway has a radio so the guide can advise you to upcoming changes in the route. Similar to a bike ride you will have to be aware of your surroundings and traffic.
NOTE: Local company phone number(s), email address, tour start address infomation along with detailed instructions will be provided on your confirmation voucher. The voucher also includes driving directions public transit information and parking locations.
