What a way to travel!!! Nine of us took the 45minute city tour last Saturday. After ten minutes zipping around the beer garden of Jury's Inn, much to the amusement of some residents, to get the hang of the Segway, we were let loose along the bay. Although the tour was meant to be city based, as it was a... More

I was over in Galway for a hen party and we booked this for the Saturday afternoon. I have to admit to feeling a little nervous to say the least but with the help of our very patient instructor Piers and his colleague Mary I was soon up and away and absolutely loving it, as were the rest of our...

I went to the segway meet-and-greet point to buy vouchers for 2 segway tours, to use at some later point. When I was there I was offered the chance to tag along on a training run for a new staff member-free of charge! I had a ball with the segway, and I was reluctant to hand it back. Our tour... More

Hi What a nice kind enlightening review. Although I disagree with the reviewers comments in respect of our guides historical knowledge and tour content, I would note that frequently, some customers like this reviewer, request less historical facts and more emphasis on an orientation tour of Galway City to help in their choices of activities for the rest of their...

We were in Galway on a hen weekend. 9 of us went on a tour along Galway Bay. The instructor, Pierce, was so patient, encouraging and informative. He made the tour a lot of fun. Even for myself, who admitedly was not over confident ofn the segway. He was indeed most helpful. I would recommend you try this out if... More

Had the most amazing fun on two wheels ever!! Thanks to John for bringing his segways to Polo Wicklow where we had expert tuition with a strong emphasis on safety, and in no time we were playing our first game of Segway Polo!! I would definitely recommend trying this to everyone! My expectations were that it would be very difficult... More

Cutting a long story short, I had left a scathing review after booking this tour in November 2011 and had my day ruined after a series of miscommunications, leading to the guide showing up nearly 4 hours late for the tour (through no fault of her own, whomever was responsible for the schedule that day had gotten her availability wrong),...
