    Fun for whole the family
    Brandon and Abby were phenomenal tour guides! They got our entire family comfortable on the Segways and made sure to look out for our youngest, who was a little nervous, the whole tour. Brandon was knowledgeable about Scottsdale’s history and was very engaging throughout the entire tour. Abby was also incredibly nice and made sure everyone was safe at all times. We would highly recommend Scottsdale Segway Tours!

    Arizona March 2023 trip
    I highly recommend this tour company. There is a maximum of 6.
    We had a wonderful trip. Saw some breath taking scenery. Sedona is such a beautiful town. The Grand Canyon was simply out of this world,
    Our tour guide Noel was so good. You can tell he really loves his job!
    Thank you for making our trip full of memories!!

    Sunset Segway Tour was really fun
    Really good experience for the family and very enjoyable. John took his time and trained everyone until they were confident and ready to ride, and he was a fun and informative guide. I would recommend doing this on the first day or two of your trip, as the tour gives great insight into areas that you will want to revisit.

    First rate experience in every respect.
    A tremendous experience-everything we wanted. David is an expert on flora, fauna, geology and history. Safe, comfortable, he delivered everything he committed to. Will engage him again. He added tremendous value to our experience. Reasonably priced. Highest recommendation.

    AMAZING experience in the desert!!!!
    My husband and I and our two teenagers did the Sonoran Desert segway tour last week at Ft. McDowell; it was one of the BEST things we did all week!!! Riding a segway is so much fun, and our tour-guides, Lynn and Tim (or Don?) I wish I could remember his name because they were both awesome!! They really kept the kids entertained with the stories and the trails and the neat things to see; we saw wild cattle and packrats and ate a choya cactus...the scenery was amazing and honestly I did not want the two hours to end!!! So worth the money!! What an experience and we will definitely be doing this again the next time we come to Arizona!

    Interesting downtown stops, with spooky moon flitting out of clouds. Would have benefited by more stops less chatting
    Guide pontificated too much, not as objective as was needed. Group was of educated adults, not children. misread group

    Fun yummy
    Noah was an excellent tour guide, I hate too much! It was a nice way to meet other travelers. It was more fun to do it with a group, then just on your own.

    Interesting full day tour to Tombstone
    Thoroughly enjoyable day trip to Tombstone!
    Our tour guide, Eddie, was excellent! With knowledge of Tombstone and various points of interest on the drive down.
    The recreation of the Gun Fight at the OK Corral was a highlight.
    Would use this tour operator again.

    The driver did excellent in adjusting the trip due to heavy rains and closures. I think she made the trip even better.

    If you love history and enjoy special places - this tour company is for you!
    Todd was an excellent guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Meteor Crater and Walnut Canyon, along with a visit for lunch to the beautiful and historic La Posada Hotel in Winslow and their Turquoise Room restaurant. We also got to stand on the "Corner in Winslow AZ" from the famous song. What a treat! Meteor Crater was an astonishment to us - this big crater out in the middle of the high desert and we really enjoyed walking to the overlooks at the crater. From the stark plains, we then visited Walnut Canyon with it's immense forest of pine trees and cliff dwellings. We had the good fortune to run into a herd of elk crossing the road into Walnut Canyon National Monument. All in all, a very special day! This is our second tour with this guide - we also went to Tombstone with them a while ago and we'll have Todd take us on other tours when we return to Phoenix and Arizona.

    We really enjoyed our guided tour with Nala. We had a beautiful day for our tour.
    Our guide was so informative about everything from plants to the history of the area.
    The grand canyon was amazing. We would recommend this tour.
