This attraction is fun and exciting and just a little out of the ordinary. We first teach you the art of riding a Segway on our specially selected training ground,then your off on a tour or short ride. Gliding to the top of the extinct volcano's, checking out the Military fort's of the 1880's, being gob-smacked by the awesome views of Auckland city and the Hauraki Gulf while experiencing the sheer joy of riding a Segway. « less

Took our 10 & 12 year old sons for a birthday treat with some friends and had a fantastic time. Pauline is lovely and was excellent at teaching us to 'drive'. It was so much fun. Would love to do it again and would definately recommend to visitors. Loved every second of it - lots of laughs and very exhilarating! More

My husband was a little iffy about taking this Devonport guided tour using Segways so we (both in our early 60s) signed up for the shorter, one hour version (that does not include the 30-45 minutes they spend getting you comfortable navigating on a Segway). Anyway, about halfway through our hour, my husband said he was enjoying it so much... More

Segways are easy to learn to use and the tour was fun and very interesting. Even though we live in Auckland, we learnt a lot about Devonport's history. We'll be recommending this to friends who live in Auckland and taking our next visitors on the tour http://goo.gl/Qd6So More

We took a group of 20 friends along and Pauline organised some games for us, including relays. We all had a fantastic time and haven't laugh so much in a long time. I recommend it if you are looking for something to do. Great to deal with and a great days entertainment. More

Nothing should keep you from doing this. I have gone on a tour with my dad for his 70th birthday and we both enjoyed it. Do it it is worth it. More

Learning to ride the segway was a bit daunting at first but Pauline was a great teacher and quite right when she said we would master it in no time. After about 10 mins we were going forwards, backwards and turning around in circles. We had a great time, it was enormous fun and the best way to see all... More

If you want to see Devonport and receive a knowledgable explanation of the various natural and man-made highlights, then this is a MUST DO tour. No previous Segway experience necessary - we went as a group of four and none of us had previously ridden a Segway. We were provided detailed training and instruction before the tour commenced. The guide... More

I've done several Segway tours around the world, and this tour around the beautiful Auckland suburb of Devonport was the best yet! I was lucky enough to have a tour all by myself with the very knowledgeable guide and owner Pauline. It wasn't the best weather on the day that I booked my tour (it rained the whole time), but...

My husband and I really enjoyed our segway tour with MagicBroomstick. Not only did we get a guided tour of Devonport, we learned a new skill! I must admit that I was apprehensive about riding a segway. (Perhaps that has something to do with being a middle-aged woman?) But I was encouraged by the two female trainers (including owner/operator Pauline)... More
