End point
This activity ends back at the meeting point.What To Expect
Make your own way to the designated meeting point in Scottsdale to meet your guide.
Start off with a detailed orientation to the Segway, and have time to practice and get comfortable with the controls. After a few minutes, most people feel comfortable maneuvering this fun and eco-friendly transportation device.
When you’re ready, step onto your Segway and follow your guide across Soleri Bridge, designed by Italian architect Paolo Soleri, a student of the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The pedestrian-only bridge features 64-foot-high steel pylons that act as a sundial, and a spacious waterfront plaza for a community gathering place.
Glide through the waterfront area and check out public art installations along the way, then head into the Arts District. Your guide points out art galleries, outdoor sculptures and contemporary Native American art. Then cruise by the Scottsdale Historical Museum, which is housed in the former Little Red Schoolhouse, built in 1909 for the education of early Scottsdale residents.
Next up, see Scottsdale's first United States post office, now home to Porter’s Western Store. Pass other historic buildings including the Roald Amundsen Pullman Private Railroad Car, built in 1928 and part of the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park. See Farmer’s State Bank, now the Rusty Spur Saloon, and other highlights of Old Town before your tour returns to your starting point at the end of two hours.

We had a couple of nervous family members to start our day; however, they were soon converted and scooting around like have been on a Segway for years. The instructor took the time to ensure everyone was generally comfortable in the parking lot and then made a point of having one of our family members right next to him (who was still a bit nervous). He was constantly reassuring and soon everyone was having a great time. The riding was more fun for the kids than most of the commentary but the adults enjoyed learning about local restaurants and some history. We would recommend this tour to any of our friends.

Great segway tour for a first timer! Got a good feel of Scottsdale downtown with a short break in between to explore

Kyle and Jayce thank you so much for an awesome tour and making my BFF feel super comfortable on the Segway.
I highly recommend not only the tour guides but the establishment as well. They show a video before you even get onto the machine.
Then you go outside after you put on your helmet and your headphones. They take one by one through the "how to" process to ensure you are comfortable with driving it.
Throughout the tour Kyle was always looking out for safety. They stopped and took pictures and let us walk around to check things out. So much history that I didn't even realize even after living here for 20 yrs.
Awesome afternoon. Try them out

It was so much fun. I was nervous at first, but quickly relaxed. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable. So impressed. The only improvement I would make is maybe taking like a 30 minute break to get lunch or shop.

Surprised my sister for her birthday with this Segway tour. Noah, our guide, was very knowledgeable of sights in the area. He also made sure everyone was safe when crossing streets. He also knew to best photo ops.We had a blast!

Very knowledgeable tour guide. He’s a wonderful ambassador for the city! I was scared, honestly. Thought I might hurt myself. The guide really made me feel comfortable & we learned a lot about the area.

Our tour guide was awesome. Knew so much about the area. Great idea to find new restaurants while visiting and the Segways are really fun. I’m gonna buy one now!

Perry was a great great tour guide, he was very knowledgeable about all the history where our tour was in Scottsdale. Perry was also a great teacher on the Segway, we will do it again if we come back to Scottsdale.

Our guide was very informative and made the whole tour interesting to go along with just riding a Segway. They do a great job of making sure that you’re comfortable on the Segway before riding which was good. Definitely wear something comfortable on your feet, which does not have to be closed toed shoes. Our family had so much fun riding those things through the streets of Old Town!
