We booked the tour before arriving in Amsterdam using the online booking system - so easy to use. When we arrived our guide showed us how to use the Segway - something I never thought I'd be able to do. I was proven wrong within 10 minutes and off we went. A really easy way to view the sights and... More

We have been wanting to give Segway a go for some time....no better place than Amsterdam!! It is certainly not cheap but the guide was extremely informative, passionate about the sights and the Segway itself and we had a ball. We got to see some places we probably would not have visited on foot and you cover really good mileage.... More

The first thing we saw as we walked out of Schiphol Aisrport where 4 policemen rolling on Segways. Instantly I knew I wanted to ride through Amsterdam on a Segway. My wife and I booked a tour and after a 10 minute training and practice run we were Segway pro's. Amsterdam is built for the Segway. The only downside to... More

Hi Sam, thanks for joining us, and thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you guys enjoyed the Segway! I am sorry that you didn't find the tour to be hugely informative, as that really is one of our primary goals. The guides are instructed to gauge the passengers interest and then adapt the tour to that. We love to... More

We were excited to go on the tour as we had seen them in other cities on our travels. We were a bit suprised at the cost. Riding around on a segway was great but the tour was not that informative. I would recommend a bike tour for people rather than the segway tour of Amsterdam. More

Eric, I'm so sorry that you didn't enjoy the Segway tour! It's honestly the first time I've heard this from anyone who's been on one of our tours. I really wish that you would have informed your tour guide of what you were missing so that they could have made adjustments. Our tour groups are small, and every tour is... More

This is a thoroughly enjoyable experience and a must do in Amsterdam. We had a party of 5 aged from 16 to 70 and every single member of our party thoroughly enjoyed the entire tour. Our guide - Daniel, was informative, considerate and extremely aware of the needs of our group members. The segway is such a fun mode of... More

We did this tour in January, it was the coldest day, wet and really windy. However the tour was fantastic. We got to see every interesting part of the city, and got given really great historical information. The segways were easy to use and really fun. Amsterdam is the perfect place to use them as we got to use all... More

Thanks again for joining us! You are by far the record holders for the wettest, coldest, windiest Segway tour in Amsterdam! The Segways really are all-weather machines and can be a lot of fun when you put them to the test.... and you're right, a great tip for our winter passengers: gloves & earmuffs :) More

Really enjoyed our Segway tour in December. Its a fantastic way to get around amsterdam with all its narrow streets and bike lanes. Very, very easy to ride and a lot of fun. If going over winter months then bring gloves, as we did, as they are pretty essential. Probably a more expensive way of seeing the city but we... More

Look down on pedestrians and cyclists with a sense of smugness and superiority as you glide effortlessly through the streets of this lovely city on a BestDam segway. The tour is expertly run by Daniel and the company focusses on great customer service. I was a segway virgin and although it took me a while to get used to driving... More

Loved the experience. The segway is a unique way to see the city and so much fun to manoeuver around the streets and canals. You get to see the city at close quarters as you glide effortlessly along the roads and cycle paths. The tour guide was attentive and watchful and made you feel safe on the busy streets. The... More

This was my first time Segway-ing, and I was somewhat anxious about the tour. Turns out it is super easy, and really really fun. This was a great tour; packed with interesting facts and stories, and you get to see a lot more of the city at Segway pace. Definitely give it a go!! More
