This is a new tour added to the Segway company. It shows the night lights of Tampa that the daytime tour didn't have. We had a perfect evening for our tour and took off right away, touring the downtown area with our tour guide, Tom. He took us all around the river walk and over to the Tampa University campus....

We came down to Tampa from a small town in Iowa for a business meeting and decided to go on the segway tour. The owners were so friendly, accomodating, and really made the expierence a great one. They teach you how to ride the segways and let you practice before going out to the streets. Once there, they show you... More

I first posted a review in December, 2012 when we rode Segways on Tampa's Riverwalk and UT campus. Last night we followed the same basic route but at night. This was our best ride yet. We enjoyed beautiful weather and fantastic views as the sun set and the city's lights took over. As with our previous daytime ride, our guide... More

I recently had out-of-town family members visiting and thought a Tampa Segway tour would be fun as well as a good overview of the downtown Tampa area. I was so right! Our guide Brian was wonderful, very thorough, patient, funny and sweet. Riding a Segway was much easier than I was afraid it might be! Piece of cake! We had... More

This was our first Segway tour. We had a great experience. Brian was friendly and had a good knowledge of the area. He made us very comfortable. He gave us easy and thorough instruction on the use and safety of the Segway and then we went out on our tour. The tour was wonderful. He kept a pace that was... More

Tom was a great guide. We had so much fun riding along the Tampa Riverwalk and crossing the river to ride around the UT campus. The city was beautiful at night with all the lights on. It was apparent that he was very proud of his city.

Last Monday we had our first Segway tour. We chose the Tampa tour which travels along the scenic River Walk area of Tampa. It was extremely enjoyable and our tour guide Brian gave us a thorough introduction to the use of the Segway which turned out to be easy -- even for us 60 year olds. This trip was recommended...

For the third time, we have taken a Segway tour with Magic Carpet, but this was the first in Downtown Tampa and we highly recommend it. Our guide was very informative about what we were seeing throughout our journey and best off all, this tour was in the evening, just as dusk was setting in. Not only was it a... More

We are from Tampa, and for her 12th birthday, our daughter wanted to have a Segway Birthday Party. I had never ridden a Segway before, and I must admit, I was skeptical. We took 7 girls on the tour through Channelside and downtown Tampa. My husband and I had just as much fun as the girls! When it was all... More

I would highly recommend this a adventure. Our party ranged from ages 15-77 and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. We would definitely do it again and check availability whenever we are in a major city.
