Surprisingly, I felt much safer going down hills like Lombard Street on a segway than I do in a vehicle. Uphill travels were even easier. The units regenerate when going downhill and there was no battery drain indicated after 2.5 hours of travel. The easier tours of the city overlap with this tour, so if you're eligible for this tour,...

Owner description:
The original San Francisco Segway and Electric Bike Tour company. Come glide through San Francisco with us. Segways are easy to learn and fun to ride. We offer 2.5 hour fully guided and narrated Segway tours of the waterfront, North Beach, Chinatown and Golden Gate Park.Chose from 4 fun routes with frequent daily and evening departures. We have 2 convenient locations: Fisherman's Wharf and Golden Gate Park.Our tours are fun and informative. Read our reviews - we love having fiun snd so do our guests. We offer entertaining and thourough Segway rider training before you depart to explore and learn about the city We gurantee a personal experience with our small groups of 9 or less guests per tour guide.( 8 or less in the Park) Not only are the segways fun to ride you will enjoy hearing stories, history and itales of the city. Each rider is issued a small radio receiver with a earbud so the tour narration can be heard as you glide from one scenic location to another. We want you to be safe and visible as we travel along many bike lanes so everybody gets (and some dislike) our highly visible and reflective vests. Warm jackets, fuzzy gloves and rain gear are alll available at no charge if the fog, wind or rain makes an appearance.All Segway guests must be age 12 and older plus over 100 lbs. (45kg) Eletric Bike tours ages 16 and up.

We booked our tour for Wednesday, 15 May 2013 at 10.30am. From the time that we booked, our experience was great and we were made to feel even more excited about the tour we had picked being the advanced tour of Lombard Street.
We arrived early on the morning of our tour and were greeted by a friendly young lady....

The Segway tour was a great way to see the city. The info shared was interesting and the view from the Segways was awesome. Marie, the guide, was terrific - very fun and knowledgeable.

We are both 70 years old and we a bit anxious about whether we could do it. Not to fear it is easy. The tour guide Mark was terrific. Recommend this to anyone.Well worth the $70. I would do it again and take one of the other tours we did the waterfront tour.

My daughter and I spent Mother's Day touring Golden Gate Park on Segways. it was a blast!
Joey was a great guide, sharing history and humor as we toured the park.
There was a small learning curve to understand and drive a Segway. The staff did a great job making us feel comfortable and confident.
I would do it again...

It is a lot of fun and you get to see parts of Golden Gate Park that you would never see otherwise. Segways are a blast and the training prior to the ride is important. While our group found the Segways very easy to ride, one person in our tour crashed and hurt herself and was unable to continue due...

We were beginners and finished accomplished Segway riders thanks to the excellent training and encouragement from our guide Joey. Beautiful park and a great way to see it. Joey made it fun, informative, and provided helpful tips for other things to do in the park and for dinner.

I've been with the Electric Tour Co for two separate tours now and on both occasions, it was superb. The advanced hills tour is a great trek around the area. The highlight was going down the twisty part of Lombard Street; something that can't be done on foot and is more immersive than going in a car. Our tour guide,...

We got this as a Christmas present from our friends to use while in San Francisco as part of our road trip. The whole thing lasted for about three hours which was excellent. The instructions and practice session were really good and the tour around the streets of the city was excellent. Our instructor, Ellen was very good and kept...
