Great for all ages. Our group ranged from 13-45. Tour guide was ok couldn't hear much but just riding the segways are fun. I recommend for anyone who wants a high level overview of Philadelphia. Look for discount codes and make sure you have a crredit card they don't take cash.Book early if you want to tour in the morning! More

My husband and 12 yr old son are not always so anxious to tour a city and learn about its history especially one so close to home. This was meant to be more fun as we had seen Segway tours in other cities. In the end, they had a great time loved riding the Segway and learned about the history... More

Rossa, our guide was incredible. She set up a special tour time for us because we were in town for a conference and had limited time to fit in the tour. She made the city come alive with her interesting anecdotes. The segways were very easy to ride. Rossa made sure you felt completely comfortable with your segway before you... More

We really like riding Segways, and jumped at the opportunity to ride them in Philadelphia. We were fortunate that Detours Segway arranged a tour just for the two of us in February 2012. The Segway really works as a way of seeing Philadelphia because the city is flat, and there are some attractions that are just a little too far... More

We chose bikes over the segway because it covered a larger area. Philadelphia is a pretty flat city so it was an easy and enjoyable ride. Our tour guide was fantastic, friendly and informative and helpful. We stopped at a cafe during the tour for a break which was nice too. More

My sister and nephews were in from califonia and now that the boys are older it was difficult to find something to keep them entertained. The Segway tour was the highlight of thier trip and is now a mandatory part of every visit. The tour is a really great time and the Segway is very easy to master. More

We had a great tour today. Even though I live in the area and know the city pretty well, the Segway tour was a great way to see the city and places I haven't seen before. If you are visiting Philly, it is a great way to see the sites and it gives you an idea of where you would... More

My wife and I are experienced Segway tourists (about 12 tours in at least 6 cities), and I'm pleased to report that this one was by far the best. DeTours have devised a very thorough route through many areas of Philadelphia - through tourist attractions, and urban and residential areas - that really makes best use of the Segway's capabilities...

I have taken other segway tours and always enjoy them, but DeTours is exceptional! They are very 'safety aware', but they are also 'fun aware'! This was one of the best segway tours I've ever taken. I ABSOLUTELY recommend to anyone who has an interest in doing something fun and educational too! More
