In Kilkenny, Ireland recently--me, my husband and our 2 teenage daughters, and this tour was the best thing we did! By far, the teens favorite thing! We chose the Express Tour as we were watching our expenses and thought an hour would be enough time. It is well worth the expense, and we would happily do the two-hour tour given the opportunity. I can't say enough good things about our guide, Michael. He was flexible with our timing, friendly, patient and clearly knows his town and how to make sure his customers enjoy themselves. We had a bit of trouble finding him in town. But he made himself available by phone and email. So if you are scheduling a tour make sure you look at the information he sends you and contact him if you are confused. Despite our being a bit late because we got a little lost, he took his time with us and gave us more time than we had actually paid for. None of us had any trouble getting the hang of the Segway, especially our teenagers. They hopped right on and got the hang of it. My husband and I took a bit longer, but still it's not difficult. Since we did the Express tour, we were on the Segways the whole time. If you take the longer tour, I think you make some stops, which are needed because your feet do get a bit tired. If you do the longer tour you could also have your camera for pictures. On the 1-hour tour we couldn't really take pictures because you are on the Segway the whole time. Although probably if you really wanted to take pictures, you could just say so, and they would give you the time to do so. You might want to make sure to note where things are in town in case you want to return. In fact, Segway Sights could include a map of the city center for customers to take with them for that purpose. Overall, totally recommend...great fun!

My wife and I don’t get away as often as we like anymore. With three kids who have busier schedules than us, we find ourselves spending more time on them than we do us

So when an opportunity came up to visit Doonbeg, I decided to turn it into a weekend away, after all it’s not too often the three kids get offloaded! So to break up the journey from Armagh to Clare, Kilkenny seemed to be a nice halfway point on the journey for a Friday stopover

When my wife and I first met, we chose dates that brought us out of the comfort zone and were quirky and fun, so I set about searching for something in Kilkenny that ticked those boxes, and to be honest as hard as I looked I couldn’t find anything that came close to Segway Sights

We only had a day in Kilkenny, and in hindsight, I don’t see how we could’ve taken in the whole city and it’s history in that day without Segway Sights! I didn’t realise the history, stories, architecture and culture that the city was steeped in until we completed our tour, and that is testament to just how fantastically planned out, thought through and delivered the actual tour and concept was

It’s rare I would ever want to do the same thing twice but if we ever go back, I’d maybe get another 1hr fix of the tour. The 2hr tour was perfect, crammed full of info, loads of ground covered and never got bored. Between sights and tunnels and castles and winding streets, nowhere was out of bounds

Michael was so knowledgable and patient. He answered all my nerdy questions whilst still keeping my wife’s attention who wouldn’t be as enthralled with the facts as I would be which in itself is a talent worthwhile lol

Look Kilkenny is a great place, buzzing and vibrant, and all the rest of it... but it is an even better destination with this facility on offer!!! Worth every penny and more... we genuinely can’t recommend this tour enough

It’s fun, it’s unique, it’s a great way to scope the place out for a longer stay and a great way to explore everything when tight for time, it’s relaxed and informative

What a great asset in the crown of modern Kilkenny
