We have done the tour out of town on the first Segway models. But they have the much nicer newer Segways which were much easier to operate. Of course, the St Pete area is beautiful but even better was Vince, our tour guide, who was full of all sorts of knowledge of the St Pete area and was more than... More

Reaching the age of 73 without too much misadventure requires a good deal of skepticism and a lot of luck. Throwing all of that aside--with a great deal of trepidation--I had a wonderful time, along with my companion, on the St. Pete Segway Tour. The guide, Vince, was very patient and extremely knowledgeable. I can't remember when I have had... More

We went today on the segway and it was a lot of fun. Since we are on our honeymoon, this was the first tour we scheduled so we would know where all the hot spots were. Vince was informative about the area and pointed out some great restaurants as well. I loved the pier. The atmosphere was awesome, drinks and... More

This was a great way to see downtown St. Pete and The Pier area. Although I was a little hesitant at first to try something like this, Vince assured me it wasn't that difficult and he was right! Our tour was very intresting and the segways are pretty easy to handle as long as you pay attention in the beginning... More

I recently went on my second Segway tour with Vince and he makes it so much fun! He knows a lot about St.Pete and keeps it interesting. This time I brought my 12 yr. old son and his friend along. Vince did a great job of explaining Segway safety and keeping a close eye on the boys during the tour.... More

Took my 12 yr old son and we had a great time.The segways are incredibly easy to maneuver. Bring water, your camera and $4.00 for parking. Look for the bar Durty Nelly's as that is where you will start from. Parking lot across the street only takes $1.00 bills and its not covered. Marty and Vinny were our guides and... More
