Very fair tour. Unpleasant people, not friendly. Did not like the route, they just tried to fill up the time. They are the only Segway in town which is what not much focus.

This was one of our favourite tours in Boston. Riding the Segway is awkward at first, but your body becomes accustomed to it very quickly and it is actually a ton of fun. This tour is a great way to see the harbour and some other Boston sights. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested. The flash drive with... More

Our family with two teenage boys had a great time with captain Kevin. On the two hour tour Kevin showed us almost the entire city. Whizzing along on a segway is way better than walking the whole way! We saw more and learned more about the city than we ever would have on our own. The aegway experience alone is... More

Our family had a blast on this tour. Kevin was entertaining as well as just plain nice and did a great job with teaching us how to ride and control the segways. An added bonus was the flash drive with over 130 pictures that he took as we toured. We would recommend this to any family who likes to do... More

I have enjoyed many different tours of Boston over the years, and this tour with Captain Picard was by far the best way to see the city in my opinion. The training was quick but thorough, and the time for this did not eat into the 2 hour tour time at all. The 2 hour tour covered lots of the... More

Josh, Captin Picard, was knowledgeable and fun! I was worried about being able to control the Segway but the training was great and my family had a blast!

I want to start off with I will definitely try riding a Segway again, however there were several things this particular tour company could have done better Beginning with the lack of time spent training us on how to ride it, specifically stopping, when I made the reservation I explained I weigh less than 100lbs and at that time I...

Had a fantastic day seeing Boston by Segway. Our guide Kevin did an outstanding job and the staff was very professional and fun at the same time. Will definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city, very informative (Kevin knows his history) :)

Despite the cold temperatures, this was an experience we will never forget. Our visit to Boston was short, so riding the segways, allowed us to see many of the city's highlights in a timely and fun fashion. Breaks are included for stretching and restrooms, so, don't worry about the amount of time the tour takes. I recommend the 2 hour... More

Very friendly and fun Segway tour of the Boston waterfront. The staff taught us to ride and steer the Segway in the parking lot before we left. They gave us helmets and a walkie-talkie so we could hear the guide and then we set off. We had to ride in the street a few times but most of the tour... More
