“Tour price doesn't include payment to tour guide”

Reviewed April 22, 2013

We generally enjoyed the Segway experience (90 min tour) but I was a bit taken-aback when we arrived and they told us that the tour guide was a volunteer and depended on tips. This is not an inexpensive activity ($59 per person) and being asked to pay the salary of the tour guide on top of the tour price didn't... More

Hi, Thank you for honest review. We're glad you enjoyed your Segway experience, but we're sorry you were disappointed in tipping the tour guide. The company's policy is that the tour price difference covers their cost of the segway being on the road, and the Guides' do sincerely volunteer their time. Our Tour Guides been trained by a Segway Factor... More

“Segway Tour Well Worth It”

Reviewed April 3, 2013

Havng never tried a ride on a Segway, we weren't entirely sure what to expect. The team at Segs On The Beach in Bradenton Beach was terrific in providing training, equipment and an entertaining tour of the south end of Anna Maria Island. Joey, our tour guide and Segway expert, was the highlight of the experience. He's a local, friendly... More

“Great Fun!”

Reviewed March 23, 2013

This is a very well run establishment with fast and friendly service. The segways are in great condition and easy to operate. I would highly recommend that you stay on the path along the beach although it can get crowded in places. The sidewalks are too narrow and can be dangerous. My husband almost fell into traffic.

Hi, Thank you for your postive review. We really appreciate it! We're so sorry to hear your husband had a scare near traffic, but we're glad all is well. We agree the sidewalks aren't always the best route, the Coquina Trail and Longboat are always the best options for not only scenery but safety as well. Our goal is to... More

“Great way to sightsee!”

Reviewed March 20, 2013

Wow! Awesome! Great! These words certainly describe how we felt about our "rookie" experience on the Segway. After our introductory lesson, four of us took off on our own on the path along the Gulf and had a great time. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and had a wonderful time. Truly an experience we will always remember. Julie and her... More

“Best segway tour in town!”

Reviewed March 15, 2013 via mobile

We have been on a segway tour before but Segs by the Sea offered a much better experience. We had a great guide, Joey, who told us interesting things but also let us "ride free" and make the most of the experience. The route was beautiful and peaceful. We'll be renting again next week when new guests arrive! Try it.
