I like guided tours for the purpose of learning more about the place we are visiting. No one likes sitting on a stuffy bus. The segway tour made a guided tour fun, and was especially engaging for my 12 and 16 year old kids.Tamara R., USA, 05-2008

The SF Wharf tour was fantastic! I did it with my two teenagers, they loved it! We will do the other SF tour next time we come to town! The Guide was very helpful and did a good job on the sightseeing info. Suzanne C., USA, 04-2008
So much fun!!! A great way to see a city!Candy M., USA, 04-2008
We had a great time and enjoyed the experience. Our tour guide and others associated were good fun and made the time most enjoyable.I would recommend to anyone. One of the highlights of San Francisco.Elizabeth J., Australia, 04-2008

Great experience!! Although I've been to San Francisco a number of times, this was a really unique way to see parts of the city in an entirely new and different manner. Our guide was fantastic and very helpful with both the technical input regarding the operation of the Segways, as well as the narrative about the sights along the way. I had been a little worried about some of the online reviews about how short the tour would be, but it actually didn't feel at all short and in the end there's no question that it was easily worth the cost. My only suggestion would be to keep the "down time" at stops shorter so that you can extend the distance covered and places seen. We clearly were the envy of everyone walking on foot, riding bikes and even those in cars!!! Can't wait to go back for the more advanced tour..... I would highly recommend this tour!!!Michael L., USA, 04-2008

Martin J., USA, 04-2008
Rolling along the San Francisco waterfront on a beautiful spring day was a pleasure. Our tour guide was clear and helpful and we enjoyed the information imparted. Having seen the San Francisco waterfront and the Wellington harbor via segway tours, I have to say I am going to look for them in any city that I visit. And I hope my tour companies all have the high standards of the San Francisco Electric Tour Company.Rowan F., USA, 04-2008
I had a fantastic time! For a rookie on a Segway, I felt my training prior to getting out on the streets of SF, was sufficient and worth every second. Loved the gals sense of humor! Keep up the great work! I will refer my friends and family for a fun Segway tour with your company.Ruth V., USA, 04-2008
Robert M., USA, 04-2008

Great fun for all the family - especially the teenagers in the group.Miss S., United Kingdom, 04-2008

We loved the basic tour so much, we went back for the advanced. What great people and great tours!Kathleen H., USA, 03-2008
Was one of the best things we did in San Francisco. So much fun, if you have time definitely take the tour. Alex was a great tour guide. The training before the tour was helpful, so easy to learn. We will definitely do this again if we have the chance.Brenda W., USA, 03-2008
Our Segway tour with San Francisco Electric Company was the highlight of our trip to San Francisco. Great instruction; quality agenda; outstanding guides and a beautiful setting. My wife, teenage son and I are still talking about the tour. I have even called some of my business colleagues that live in Northern CA to encourage them to do the tour.Ronald C., USA, 03-2008

Had a ball, wanted the tour to go all day.John W., Australia, 03-2008
For those who have seen Segway but not had any chance of trying it out, this is a good way to do it. The tour operator made sure that the route is safe. And this builds one's confidence and experience level in using the machine. Plus, it is a great way to know the city of SF without "much effort." You also become a tourist attraction of some sort, too, since other tourists tend to take pictures of you and your group zipping by. Overall, it's a fun experience. Jennifer S., USA, 03-2008
Best fun I've had in years; I'm still talking about it!Bernadette A., USA, 03-2008

This is one of the best tours I've ever taken. Riding a Segway for the first time is exhilarating, and I can't imagine a better city to do it in than San Francisco. You're not going to learn as much about the places you see as you might on a bus tour, but you really get the feel of the city, and cover a lot of ground.Emily S., USA, 03-2008
Joel B., United States, 03-2008
We are the parents of three teenagers. Due to the uniqueness of the tour medium, they actually paid attention and learned some San Francisco history from our guide. It was great.Carol or Andrew P., Canada, 03-2008
Derek T., USA, 03-2008
My husband, my sister and I had a great time on segways! By the end of the tour we were really starting to feel comfortable riding them and would have liked to keep going. What an amazing invention the segway is! We are already talking about doing it again.Kimberly N., USA, 03-2008
You will love this tour. You must do it!Robert J., USA, 03-2008
Overall, the tour was great and lots of fun. Jade P., Australia, 03-2008
AMAZING TOUR! It combined both a great narrated tour of the wharf and immediate area with a fun way to get around. I am definitely going on the advanced tour next time I am in town!Paul B., USA, 03-2008

Jennifer E., USA, 02-2008
First, the ability to learn how to ride Segways in such a fun & safe environment was fantastic! The trainers are very personable & made me feel comfortable. The 'Run To The Palace' tour had beautiful sights! The tour was well paced and allowed all to keep up as we gradually got more comfortable & confident on the Segways! This is a definite not to miss activity when visiting!Bradley E., USA, 02-2008
An absolutely outstanding way to tour Fisherman's Wharf. Slower and more open than a bus or car tour, but faster and easier than walking the whole way. Radios on each Segway let us hear clearly what the very knowledgeable and personable guide (Mother Duck) was saying.Judith M R., USA, 02-2008
Really enjoyed the Segway tour. Riding the Segways was the one of the high points of our visit to San Francisco.Ronald D., USA, 02-2008
This is the only way to tour. It was the highlight of our trip. Our guide Carla was informative and fun.Leonard M., USA, 02-2008
Chris B., USA, 02-2008
I took my mom on this tour when she came to visit. The tour guide was great and we were laughing the whole time as we scooted around on the segways! She wants to come back and do the advanced tour. Colleen D., USA, 02-2008
Peter W., Germany, 02-2008
If visiting San Francisco you simply have to do this tour!!!
I recently sprained my ankle and was worried about operating these vehicles. I needn't have been. If you can walk, lean forward and back, stand up straight...you too can do this!!! It's that easy. Would I lie to you!!!! Trust me...you will finish this tour and want to buy one of these machines...they are totally cool.
Apart from the fact that you are operating some amazing technology, you will also receive a thoroughly comprehensive tour of the San Francisco Bay Area. The tour guide (In our case Lilly) explains the local sights by two way radios attached to your Segway.
If you don't do this tour then you are missing out on something totally unique in this part of the world. I 360% recommend this tour!!!Darrin O., USA, 02-2008
Mike H., USA, 02-2008
The staff was excellent. The Segway tour was a great way to see the city. It's not often you get to try something new! We had a great time.Mike H., USA, 02-2008
My husband was a little ambivalent about taking the tour, however, by the end of it, he said it was favorite thing we did on our trip to San Francisco. We had a lot of fun and the staff was great! Crystal S., USA, 02-2008
You have great staff, everything was explained very well before we started training and during training.
Our guides first concern was safety, did a great job in taking us around and giving great commentary about sites. First class job. Highly recommend Carla & Will Brunskill Qualicum beach, B.C. CanadaCarla B., Canada, 02-2008

Fun location, fun ride, fun staff. What can I say, we had a blast.Clayton R., USA, 02-2008
What a great experience. First, Carla and Galen both were excellent guides and knew how to add fun to the language of the tour. I appreciated their humor on all counts. Second and most important to me, though, was the riding of the Segway itself. It's difficult to explain/teach the how-to of the mechanics of the machine---sort of like trying to teach a person to ride a bicycle using only words---so the initial hands-on training and the loop out on the pier for reinforcement were both necessary and fun. What a trip!! I'd do the whole thing over in a heartbeat, except I'd do the night tour first and the Saulsalito one next. Loved the wings/pin; it's proudly displayed on my coat collar. I'm just waiting for someone to ask me about it so I can launch into a promo for Segway Tours. LOL.Thomas G., USA, 01-2008

And I already sent a few of my friends to your tour :)Moti P., Israel, 01-2008
Guide was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and a pleasure to have around. Running on the Segways was by far the best experience my wife and I have had visiting an area like SF. Would highly recommend for others and would certainly consider activity in other cities. Thanks for the unique experience, Jeff!
david m., USA, 01-2008
I cannot recommend the Segway tour enough. I felt safe the entire time, and enjoyed myself thoroughly. I will gladly do it again, and I will look for tours by this company when I visit other cities.Kenneth G., USA, 01-2008

The San Francisco Segway tour was certainly one of the highlights of our visit to the city. It was lots of fun, a great way to see the sights, and I would highly recommend it to others. Don G., Canada, 01-2008
The booking process through a third party vendor made us cancel one other tour and almost this one. Once we had a correct reservation the tour and operators were excellent! We took the tour on a 60 degree day and really needed gloves. You go faster than you think!Matt C., USA, 01-2008
Jason J., United States, 01-2008
This was a great way to see the city, especially since I was only in San Francisco for a week. I highly recommend it to anyone!Karsten J., USA, 01-2008
GLEN C., USA, 01-2008
We didn't know if we could even drive a Segway, much less tour San Francisco in one. The phased in training is very good, i.e: turtle speed to rabbit. We've already recommended the SF wharf tour to some of our friends.Pete G., USA, 01-2008
Very nice and safe indeedChristiane T., USA, 01-2008
The guide was funny and informative, and very watchful of everyone safety. He was great. The weather was also perfect and the Segways were fun to ride and just challenging enough: I am not usually comfortable on 'rolling' things like skates but I could quite easily ride it, and the more confident people also had a ball. Highly recommended for first-time visitors as well as people more familiar with San Francisco. Megan B., Australia, 01-2008
Take the plunge and have a Safe-SegThomas L., USA, 12-2007
In spite of the rotten weather; cold and rainy we had a wonderful time on the Segway tour.John A., USA, 12-2007
The weather was absolutely horrible but this segway tour made up for the bad weather. It was the most fun my family and I have had in quite some time. We can't wait to go back this summer and sign up for another tour.Rebecca F., USA, 12-2007
enjoyed alot, would do it againRobert H., USA, 12-2007
We took the waterfront tour and it was a blast. In addition to being friendly and fun our guide was very knowledgeable about the entire Bay area. The Segways were very simple and comfortable to operate. I can't imagine a better way to see the waterfront.Ron B., USA, 12-2007
James C., USA, 12-2007
Ted K., USA, 12-2007
One of the best tours I've ever been on. Professional staff answered all my questions and made me feel very at ease using the Segway.

The Segway tour was a hoot. The Segway is an amazing machine and it was fun to learn how to ride/drive one. San Francisco is a perfect place for a tour like that. The education on the use of the Segway was excellent.e w., USA, 11-2007
Would have liked a little more time on the touring portion (the training was very good but could have been a little more efficient) and would have liked to spend time away from the wharf area, either towards the Presidio or up into the city.Stewart G., USA, 11-2007
I thought of it more as a unique experience rather than a tour, but the location made it even better. I have already recommended it to others.John A., USA, 10-2007
My husband wanted to ride the Segway. I was not too sure. The operator/tour guide was a delight. He was very clear in explaining how to operate the machine, to stop and turn. I can honestly say this was THE MOST FUN I had in San Francisco. Beside the fun of riding the machine, we received a great tour of the places we traveled to. I highly recommend this tour with no reservations. It is so much fun. pat K., USA, 10-2007
Riding the Segways along the waterfront in San Francisco was a blast. The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone. Tons of fun. I'd love to get my own Segway.John S., USA, 10-2007

It was great fun, nice way to see fisherman's wharf. Tour guides are great and engaging ... Segways are obviously most coolKieran M., United Kingdom, 10-2007
Enjoyed the equipment, staff, training, location, duration. My only issue was the points of interest on the tour. Because the Segways have limited speed and can be dangerous in traffic, I'm sure we were taken on the safest routes. But behind the cannery left a little to be desired.Geri T., USA, 10-2007
This is absolutely the most fun and unique activity in SF. A must for any traveler!!!!Devon R., USA, 10-2007

Who can ride a Segway? Are Segways safe for children or people with disabilities?
Riding a Segway is similar to riding a bike-it's intuitive but nobody is born knowing how to operate it. That's why the tour includes 35-45 minutes (estimated) of training so you can get familiar with riding a Segway.
Rider Requirements:
Segway riding is not recommended for pregnant women. Unfortunately, pregnant women will not be permitted to participate.
All guests must be able to easily and quickly step on and off the Segway without any assistance, which requires physical abilities similar to climbing and descending stairs without assistance or use of a handrail. You will be standing for 2 hours.
A Segway is not an ideal mode of touring for people with some mobility issues. Please call if you have questions.
The Segway is not appropriate for those weighing under 100 pounds or over 250 pounds (46-113 kilos.) Helmets and reflective vests are provided and required.
We do require that all riders be at least 12 years old.
Riders under 18 must be accompanied on the tour by a parent or guardian.
