Our family had a great time on this tour; our children are young adults and they thought it was awesome! Graeme, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and passionate about his city, and gave us much more than we expected. Not only did we see very beautiful gardens and visit historical places, but he also showed and explained to us... More

A must if you want to combine a unique activity (riding a Segway for the first time - easy with Graeme's tuition) , with lots of fun, a very knowledgeable guide in Graeme and the opportunity to see and understand what Christchurch has and is still going through. Go places where cars can't go; go places where it would take... More

You will never be able to see all the fascinating aspects of Christchurch any better than on a Segway with a guide as knowledgeable and fascinating as Graeme, the owner/operator of Urban Wheels. His first concern is your safety and making sure you know how to properly operate the Segway, and then it's off to see the most colorful and... More

I did a one hour session on a Segway booked through Grabone.com. Graeme, the owner, took me out, gave me a comprehensive tuition session and then took me around the city showing me some of the historic buildings of Christchurch and giving me lots of interesting information about them and the recent earthquakes. I had a wonderful time, learnt a... More

I have previously done a Segway tour of Paris, so it may have been a bit much to expect more from this tour, but Graeme the friendly tour guide outdid the Paris tour! The tour started in a park in the city centre where Graeme was a very patient teacher. Segway's are easy to use and extremely intuitive. I can... More

We are from Christchurch and were given a 1 hour Segway Experience voucher as a Christmas present. We didn't really know what to expect and were blown away by how much fun it was! Graeme (the guide) was professional, friendly, humorous and very knowledgeable. It started with a demo on how to ride and we were given plenty of time... More

Had a few hours spare before catching our flight back home, so we decided to see Christchurch on a Segway - what a hoot. We saw some wonderful sites, beautiful gardens and learnt a lot about Christchurch along with way. Thoroughly recommend it! More

This is a great way to see the city from a different perspective. None of us had "segwayed" before but after a training and safety briefing we set off through the streets and parks of Christchurch. As we were only in Christchurch for the day as part of a cruise stop, this trip gave us the opportunity to see far... More
