Great first Paddleboard expierence! I went to lake wheeler for a lesson and was very impressed how organized the lesson was. The boards are high quality and were very easy to use. SUP is such a fun sport; I am planning to buy a board to use all Summer. More

A great excursion, except for one of the owners, Sandy, whose unpleasant demeanor ruined the experience for us. She was extremely unaccomodating when our scheduling failed to take into account the 45-minute training session that preceded our hour-and-a-half tour. And when we expressed how unreasonable we thought she was being, and asked to speak with the other owner, she snapped... More

Triangle Glides offers segway tours of downtown Raleigh. Our tour was one hour. The hour begins after they get everyone trained on how to operate the segway. All three of the employees who trained our group of 11 were fabulous. They worked with each person individually until the customer felt comfortable and the employee believed we were capable. They were... More

My sister and I did the Segway Experience tour and had a blast. I was a little nervous about using a Segway (visions of crashing or falling or both) but they lead everyone through a one-on-one training session before you leave for the tour. By the end of the tour, you will feel like an expert Segway rider. They give... More

I can't say enough how cool this tour is. You get training and get to ride the segway through downtown. But this is not JUST a ride, it's a REAL tour, and you get a great sense of the history of Raleigh. More

Great segway tour! Loved our guide and his knowledge of the city. Just a great day in downtown Raleigh. A great way to see the downtown and doing it on the segway makes it even that much more fun. Give it a try!! Can't wait to do another trip! More

My wife and I had a wonderful time touring Downtown Raleigh via Segways. The tour guides ensured our safety throughout the entire ride. We were equiped with a hip clip pack auditory system in order to hear the tour guide speak detail history of downtown Raleigh. The guide were very informative and knowledgeable of the history and appeared to really... More

We were in downtown Raleigh for the weekend for my cousin's wedding, and my aunt suggested we take this tour. She thought it would be right up our alley...and she was right! Segways look intimidating (especially for someone with no balance like myself), but the staff does such a great job of teaching you how to ride a segway, that... More

Tried to book on multiple occasions but was always full. This company does multiple Groupon deals a year so expect lots of full dates when attempting to book. The tour itself was SO SO! More

We did the Historic Oakwood Segway tour, 1.5 hours, and it was a great way to see the old houses, learn a little about them, and then to tour more of the 100-acre cemetery than we would every have seen. We live nearby and bought this as a Groupon, but it would be well worth the full price. More
