Super fun tour
Rebecca_E, Sep 2023
We had such a lovely time zipping around the hike and bike trail, Lady Bird Lake and seeing the bats!
Great tour, must see!
Mike_H, Jul 2023
Our guide was so friendly and informative about the area and she took us to the coolest places downtown. She gave great instruction on how to operate the segways and also the perfect place to sit for the bats. Definitely recommend.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you Mike. Sounds like you had a great time!
Check out this tour!!
Stephanie_S, Jul 2023
I had an incredible experience buzzing around on the Segway with the tour guide, Francisco! After an introduction on how to ride and drive we were off! Francisco was knowledgeable of the area, shared a bunch of cool facts as we made stops on our way to see the bats and was just so much fun! Unfortunately, the bats didn't swarm while we were there, but we still got to see them and the overall experience was amazing. Thank you so much Francisco for a great tour!!
Response from Host, Jul 2023
The Bats don't always cooperate but we're so glad you had a wonderful time regardless. Wind, loud music, bright lights (a nearby festival) thunderstorms/rain can sometimes affect their flight...but we're glad it didn't damper your overall experience.
Fun!
Elvia_d, Jul 2023
Such a fun tour.! Out tour guide Francisco was knowledgeable and personable! We would do this tour again any day!
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Frank's a new guide so we're happy to hear you were pleased!

Kathy_B, Aug 2022
My daughter and I decided to do this tour. I’ve never been on a Segway and worried it could be out of my comfort level. Kelsey was so patient and kind in helping me get the hang of it! He was always so positive and helped me build my confidence! This is simply a MUST do your with Kelsey!! 5 stars to him!

Wished there were working Walky talkies
Cheryl_C, Jun 2022
Loved seeing the bats. I was glad someone in a kayak had a red light otherwise we may not have seen them. Also did not know what the highlights were because there wasn’t a way to hear the leader
Response from Host, Jun 2022
We did have a few walkie talkies that were out at that time and have since purchased a red light. Thank you for your feedback Cheryl. We are always looking for ways to improve.
Super fun!
Jeannie_Y, May 2022
Kelsey did an awesome job teaching us how to ride, it was safe and fun. It was super fun and we’d do it again.
