I did the ocean tour with my wife. My wife has no previous Segway experience but with the help of Andy at Segway Newport she got everything under control within 10 mins. The tour is super and Andy is a graet tour guide, friendly and knowledgable. Eveything went smoothly. We are able to enjoy the beautiful scenary of ocean at... more

We were met at the port and escorted to Howard St, The company is based on the edge of a car park so plenty of room for training and practice.The instruction was very thorough and informative. After 10-15 mins of practice we set off on a guided tour of Newport. The tour was well guided and presented and took in... more

We were in Newport for a day last week on a cruise. We were hoping to rent Segways, but they had all been reserved in advance for the cruise shore excursion. We were able to rent 4 of the motorized bicycles, however, and we had a blast touring Ocean Dr. We would pedal unless we had an uphill grade at... more

We just did the 2 hour Ocean Drive Tour with Andy, it was great. The people at Segway of Newport really make the whole experience fun and learning to use the Segway is easy. I would highly recommend. more

Four of us took the 2 hour tour. After fully being trained and comforable (didn't take that long, it's really easy), we left for the fantastic tour. What a blast. Can't say enough about the professionalism of this business. Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!!! more

My husband and I walked in to the office wondering about segway tours and the staff was so friendly and helpful that we couldn't resist signing up. It was our very first time on a segway and after a quick practice session, we cannot wait to ride a segway again! Our guide was very knowledgable about Newport and gave us... more

My husband and I booked the 10 AM two hour ocean drive tour on a weekday and it turned out we were the only ones signed up at that time, essentially giving us a private excursion. We have been on Segways before so only a brief orientation was needed along with some practice in the adjacent parking lot. However, they... more

My husband and I have been to Newport several times and were looking for something "different" that would keep us outside near the water. Andy gave us a great workshop on how to use the Segway safely. Then we set off around Ocean Drive on a beautiful morning with sparkling water and lots of clear air. We also meandered throughout... more

As first time visitors to Newport, we wanted to see as much of the area as possible on our initial day. When the forecast for rain relented into a sunny day, we decided to check out the Segway tour. Never having been on Segway before, we were a little aprehensive about how to ride the beast, but the folks at... more
