About
Magic Broomstick Segway Tours is an absolute MUST DO while you're in Auckland. We're located in Devonport, Auckland's Historic Seaside Village only a 12 minute ferry ride from downtown Auckland or 30 minutes over the bridge by car. It's FUN to experience the unique sensation of riding a Fair Dinkum, Genuine, Segway Personal Transporter as you explore this part of Auckland. We teach you the art of riding then when you're comfortable you're off on a Guided tour or short ride. Gliding to the summit of Mt. Victoria or North Head, Devonport's volcanic cones, you can checkout the Military fort's of the 1880's and enjoy the awesome views of Auckland city and the Hauraki Gulf. If you would like a shorter ride we have a "Taste" of Segway taking you to past Victorian Villas to beaches and parks. All suitable for 13years and over. If you have a 10 year old in your group you can still experience the awesome Segway as we have a FUN Family ride especially for you. Go on try something new I'ts FUN!

We had a ball riding our segways around Devonport recently! Pauline was a fabulous instructor - she provided good instruction at the start to ensure we were all confident riders before we set off on a majestical tour of the gorgeous suburb of Devonport. Pauline was a great guide; not only helping us navigate some of the trickier terrain during our tour, but also providing interesting information about the area and some of the wonderful people who have been part of its history. Thoroughly recommend this as a fun, relaxing way to see the area.

Thanks Vivienne, I also have a ball riding my segway and I enjoyed showing you and your friends the gorgeous suburb of Devonport. I'm pleased the instruction had you feeling comfident before you set off. Sometimes I think I'm a bit bossy but it pays off when riders feel as you did beofre we take off to explore.

Had a blast. So much fun. Loved hearing about the history of Devonport, along with travelling around streets and into reserves you wouldn't know existed. Full safety briefing beforehand, so felt confident in setting off. Thank you Pauline. Highly recommend and am spreading the word for a fun, unique experience - this is it!

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

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.

I’ll start with the amazing service and communication we received from Pauline as we planed our trip. Helpful and informative, she was also polite and extremely accommodating.

On the day of our tour she gave us a royal treatment as we were the only couple on on tour. Great instruction on the segways and very pleasant and informative tour with a good pace and adequate volume.

This was such a fun way to spend the day after hiking 13 miles the day before. We will definitely do this again if we ever go back to Auckland.

Thank you for taking the time to post your review. I remember you coming after your days hiking and enjoying being able to explore our beautiful part of the world and not have to walk !!! Of course we are all locked down now, you too I assume as most of the world is feeling the affects of this pandenic. Travel maybe way in the future now but I hope it's not too far in the future as I love to Segway with all the people who choose to come. Stary safe and well and ready for an exciting/interesting future.

Alison was our tour guide and her warm and friendly personality made the tour great fun. Although half of our group had used segways several times before, the other half were complete novices, but under her tuition, they quickly picked up how it worked. Safety was a high priority, and we all had extra tuition on different types of terrain, to ensure we were all comfortable and felt safe.
The tour itself around Devenport, and up Mt. Victoria was very interesting and the view from the top was wonderful.
Can highly recommend Magic Broomstick!

Thank you, thank you, It is of course so very nice to get reviews such as yours with a highly recommended. Safety is a high priority and Alison would make sure of that. We are of course so very fortunate to have such a stunning place full of Auckland's early history for you to tour around.

Great experience. Having marveled at these machines from afar for a long time, finally I get the chance to try one. We were a family of four taking the "family fun" package and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Not as easy as expected at first, thanks to Pauline's excellent tuition, we soon picked up the technique. Instead of just running up and down the promenade as expected, we also were given a tour of Devonport's local streets, a bigger challenge than expected. All returned safe and sound, a really enjoyable experience.

Thanks so much for your review as you and others who take the time to do this help us all. It's a Win/Win. I get great things said about Segway Tours because you've all had such a great time ticking off things on your bucket list and others have the benefit of knowing that Segways rock. With a little help from your friends (Madam Segway) you can do it and the sense of achievement at doing something brand new is worth it. Thanks heaps. I now have a Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor for the 4th year in a row. All the Best Pauline Baker aka Madam Segway !

We’ve done a few of these before and enjoy the experience.
Having just come out of lockdown in NZ we were the first visitors for a while and the only two on the tour. Pauline was our guide and she did a great job showing us around. We have been to the area before so we’re familiar with some of the sights but it always helps to have some inside knowledge from a local.
The weather was great and we had some wonderful views from the top of the volcanic cones. One if the highlights for us was the sights around the back streets of Devonport to see all the beautiful old Villas . We wouldn’t have gone there even on foot so it was a wonderful surprise and again inside knowledge helped.
We’d recommend this trip, segways are great fun and this one is extremely safe and very enjoyable.

What a positive way to come out of lockdown. It felt so good to be back on a Segway meeting fabulous people and showing them around Devonport with all the history, views and of course Segway FUN. Thanks for coming.

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

I would highly recommend this tour, it was worth every cent! This was our first Segway experience, and it was a fantastic way to spend our morning as a family! We learned a lot about the history of Devonport and found Pauline to be fun and informative tour guide.

Thanks for your review. The combination of Segways and Devonport sure is a good one. I'm so pleased you and your family enjoyed your 1st Segway.
