      Absolutely fantastic. Pauline was a great host and expertly guided my husband and I around the beautiful Devonport. She went above and beyond and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

      Loads of fun. Interesting information. Very easy to get to from a cruise ship at Princess Wharf
      The lesson before you go is excellent. Great way to see Devonport away from the touristy side. Very Highly recommended .

      Fabulous way to see Devonport!
      We had a few days in Auckland prior to joining a group tour so we booked this experience. You need to take the ferry to Devonport to join the trip. The office is located right in the ferry terminal as you arrive. The weather was very windy but the Segways were perfect for maneuvering the quaint suburb of Devonport, including the steep hills. Very fun and enjoyable way to cover a large area, and Pauline provided great background information along the way.

      An honest review
      The day was drizzly and overcast. The lovely Magic Broomstick team and I braved the weather and had a fantastic time! Our guide was friendly, informative and knowledgeable about the area. She was able to answer questions and tell delightful anecdotes. The riding instructions were clear and at a pace that suited. I highly recommend this for a wonderful way to discover more about a beautiful place. The views were breathtaking, riding was fun and the company was just brilliant.

      Fantastic way to spend an afternoon
      5 of us had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon doing the taster session with Pauline. My niece, nephew and brother in law had never been on a segway before and this was the perfect way for them to get used to it and see some of the sights with a few facts about the area thrown in! We were 50/50 on whether to do it due to weather and so glad we did! Whether you’re a pro on a segway or not I thoroughly recommend taking a tour with Pauline

      Pauline, a magic broomstick and North Head
      A rave review for Pauline of Magic Broomstick segway tours in Devonport. We did the North Head tour and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of Pauline's commentary, insight and knowledge. We stopped frequently to discuss local history, sights and events - Pauline quickly adapted her tour to our interests - and never felt rushed or as though we were wasting time. We travelled along the waterfront, up to North Head, explored the fort on foot as well as by segway with a brilliant view of yachts racing in the harbour and Rangitoto Island. Downhill we went to Cheltenham Beach, the Devonport Museum, Mt Cambria Park and back to the ferry terminal. We are experienced riders but we knew we were safe under her direction. The advertised tours are spot on in terms of destinations, highlights and time. We were on tour for two and a half hours.

      Great fun and a must do in Devonport
      This was such a fun experience and lots of information on the history of the area as we went along. Good small group of people. Loved the time you get in the park to have a blast around on the Segway. Would highly recommend this as a fun experience and worth the trip to Devonport to do it. If I was going again would take the ferry from the City to add to the experience.

      So much fun!
      We had a terrific time on the Segway tour to North Head. We had no prior experience but that was no problem as Pauline taught us the ropes in no time. She was a font of knowledge about the history of the area and made the tour feel very personal and authentic. Highly recommended!

      We really enjoyed our hour or so scoot around the waterfront & back streets of Devonport. Pauline was a great guide sharing history of the area as we went. As it was a lovely day, we found a couple of new spots for swimming. We thoroughly recommend this experience, alot of fun :)

    Pauline was a fabulous guide . We were worried about riding a Segway but Pauline was fantastic at showing us not just how to ride but we loved it ! Pauline clearly loves Devonport and showed us what a lovely place it is . It was also a great way to see Mount Victoria . The views were stunning . I can’t rate this tour highly enough and it was a real highlight of our holiday . Thank you Pauline !

    Lots of fun seeing Devonport and going up Mt Victoria. Just to note they have a set route that they follow and there were only 2 of us on this tour which was for 1&1/2 hrs. We were back at the starting place 20mins early and so then we asked to have our full time on the Segway but ended up spending the last 20mins just going up and down the foreshore.

    I have just read your review and thank you for your honest feedback I was as disappointed to read that you didn't receive good value as you must have been when you were so short changed. I have taken this opportunity to look more closely at my tour guide training and spoken to the young Tour Guide who took you out. He is new to the role of tour guiding and has appreciated the learning and the value of customer satisfaction. Once he realised you were both good riders and had plenty of time to enjoy riding he could have deviated from the usual route and taken you on an extended ride to see more of the sights around Devonport. I'm sure he will be doing this going forward. I'm pleased to hear that despite all, you did have some Segway Fun riding to the summit of Mt. Victoria. If you are coming our way again or want to refer someone to tour with us I would like to offer you 1 person free on a tour of your choice

    Not quite Macbeth as there were 4 of us but we couldn’t resist a giggle with some witches hats ..... magic broomstick tours!

    Our Delightful host Pauline was both knowledgeable and fun as well as patient as we learned how to master our segways .. it’s was easy as she promised it would be.

    Fantastic fun and a really great way to see sights we’ve been driving past for years.

    Hubble Bubble no toil and definitely no trouble as the girls donned their Witches Hats and off we went for a lot of Segway Riding Fun. And as all good Witches, they 'glided effortlessley' to the summit of Mt. Victoria to enjoy the stunning views and jump from the Mushrooms. Lol

    There is no better way to get around than with a Segway; there is no better way to see Mt Victoria and Devonport than with Pauline and Magic Broomstick Segway Tours.

    The equipment is in excellent condition; the operator safety conscious but not overly restrictive. The knowledge that Pauline has is amazing and very informative. The time spent all too quickly and was totally enjoyed by us all.

    The scenery was breathtaking.

    Highly recommend the experience

    Hi Gerard, Thanks for your review. It's so easy for me to become complacent living and working here in Devonport seeing the stunning views every day so it was great to hear how much you appreciated the breathtaking scenery we have here in Devonport. I love my Segways so I look after them as best I can and like to share the joys of riding them at every opportunity. Best regards. Pauline

    Pauline was so friendly and fun and made sure everyone was comfortable on their Segways before we began our tour. During the tour, we rode along the coastline of Devonport, then through neighborhoods and up to the peak of Mt. Victoria. Pauline shared the history and pointed out interesting things of the area around us as we went along. Once at the top of Mt. Victoria, we had ample time to enjoy the spectacular view, including the Auckland skyline, and to take photos. Thank you, Pauline!

    Thank you for leaving your review. I'm not biased (well maybe a little) but the view from the summit of Mt. Victoria is the most spectacular view of Auckland City there is. To get there on a Segway is really the added bonus.

    We caught the ferry to Devonport to join the tour. Pauline was waiting and after patiently training us how to stop, go, turn and get off we were ready to start our adventure. The time went so fast and Pauline is better informative about the local history. I would definitely recommend, it was such fun

    OMG this was so much fun . It was a beautiful day and my son and I went Sewaying up Mount Victoria and around Devonport. It was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be . If you have been a snowboarder or skier then you will find it very easy. Good balance is all you need. Our tour guide was amazing. Sorry I can’t remember his name. But he was originally from Ohio . I will definitely be doing this again

    Truly a fun experience. I was nervous to begin with but Pauline gave thorough instructions and tested our ability. Then we were off! Was given local knowledge of the area which was great. Loved seeing the old villas (homes) - beautifully restored. Two hours flew by. It’s a great outing. Catch the ferry from Auckland to Devonport which adds to the experience. Segway tours are located in the ferry terminal and at the beginning of the Devonport village. Grab fish n chips and eat them on the beach or sit in the park. Follow up with an ice cream . Really good value for young and old. Awesome day.

    Quick and easy ferry trip across from downtown Auckland to Devonport. My wife and I love Segway tours and this was another top notch one. Magnificent views across to Auckland. Blessed with perfect weather. Great way to also learn some Devonport history. Definitely recommend.

    Thanks David G. It was super good to meet fellow Segway lovers. I certainly have the best location to run Segway Tours with the wide open spaces of Devonport where we can truly appreciate the Segway 'glide' and showcase the magnificent views and history of Auckland. Thanks for your recommendation.
