We bought a groupon for this and really felt it would be a little hokey. We are locals, and were looking to do something different. We had a blast! We were lucky enough to be on a tour with just the two of us and our guide. Jimbo, our guide was very patient with me; it took me a few... More

It was fun riding Segway thru the streets of Boston. The tour guide was a local student with very limited knowledge of Boston history. I plan to do this tour again maybe summer time, hopefully with a Pro guide for a change. More

As some have mentioned here if you are looking for a factual based tour of the city of Boston then this is not the tour for you. If you are looking to see some parts of the city and along the waterfront then this will serve that purpose. In addition if you just want to have some fun riding a... More

Fun way to see Boston for those that have done the trolley and duck tours previously. It is however not cheap! Be warned that you are expected to ride on the roads, although didn't feel unsafe. Only criticism would be there seemed to be a lot of hanging around at the start, but a two hour tour really was two... More

I went with my 15 year old son, who wants to work at Boston Gliders when he turns 18. Our guide told us a story about the gold vaults at the Federal Reserve Bank that did not ring true. Especially the part about flooding the vaults with sea water. Imworked ath the "Fed" some time ago. The only gold stored... More

Did a tour with my girlfriend, sister, and brother in law recently. We're all Boston locals and none of us had ever been on a Segway before, so this seemed like a fun activity to engage in and enjoy the city we all love in a new way. The sequence of events of doing a tour is basically as follows:... More

Our guide "Captian Hub" took us on the hour long adventure through the North End and Harbour area of Boston. Three 60 years olds that couldn't have had a better birthday celebration. They are easy to learn, the new bikeways in Boston were fabulous,and Captain Hub (an adorable college student) mixed just the right amount of history with riding bliss.... More

We took a one hour tour of the Boston Harbor area on a Segway in conjunction with the Go Boston card. It was the most fun we had in Boston. It really was easy to ride the Segway. Our guide was personable and fun. You really get to see things close up. Would love to take a Segway tour in... More

I had so much fun segwaying. I spent an hour riding around boston on a segway. It was one of the most fun things I've ever done. I enjoyed every Minuit of it. This place is great and the guides are great. They asked us at the beginning if we wanted a history tour or a just ride around tour.... More
