After 3 long days on our feet at a tradeshow, we only had a few hours to see Austin before heading to the airport. We booked a Segway tour and had a blast! Jason and Andrew were terrific guides. They even recommended a place on 6th Street to grab lunch after the tour. Riding a segway is very intuitive. Our... More

I took this tour with a friend early January. Our guide Nathan, was so informative and he had a great personality. I was very comfortable from the get-go. Being on the segway is scary at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's a breeze. It's a great way to see the city!!! If you are ever in... More

The service was fantastic. Our guide gave us some time to get used to the Segway before we started our tour. It was alot easier than I suspected. Then we toured the city and had a blast. The guide was gracious and informative. I will go back whenever I am in Austin. More

Though they went out of their way to book a tour for me last minute - the guide was not particularly knowledgeable, and the 2.5 hour tour lasted 1.5 hours - I expected to get a really great overview of the city - which I didn't. Disappointing - as it started off well, and their customer service was very good... More

This makes the third city in which we have taken a Segway tour. If you want a different type of tour experience try touring on a Segway. Yes it does cost around $70 per person, but I feel it is well worth it. Let Gliding Revolution take care of your Segway tour needs. We had good friendly guides and had... More

A great way to spend 2 hours. The segways are a blast to ride and learning about Austin's history was very interesting. One peice of advice: if you do this in the fall or winter be sure to wear gloves. More

A Segway is a near-ideal way to visit a city. You can cover a lot of ground in a short time, and it's highly maneuverable. I took the CIty Tour, and it hit some of the high points of town; I definitely saw more of the city than I otherwise would have. Downside: It's very expensive. Also, it does take... More

Janice did a great segway tour today. She did a good job training us and made the tour fun and interesting. This was our second time to Segway, the first in Vale, Colorado. I would suggest everyone try it. More

My sister planned the Segway trip for us girls for the first of many adventures in Austin for my bachelorette weekend. Im from Indiana and visited Austin for the week. This tour was so much fun and still has us talking. I was nervous in the beginning but was ready to roll after the initial training provided by the tour... More

This was the first Segway adventure for me and my 23 y.o. son-- we had a ball! Pre-trip "driving" lessons were provided by patient instructors, increasing my comfort level and therefore enjoyment of the trip. The breaks and photo-ops were thoughtful and well-timed. Our guide Evan was knowledgeable about the history of Austin, but his conversation about current culture was... More
