There are walking tours and there are bus tours, but this unique Segway tour provides an entirely new perspective on the city of St Petersburg in Florida.
Your tour begins at North Straub Park with a brief but thorough training session to make sure everyone feels comfortable and knowledgeable about their Segway. A helmet and safety equipment, plus bottled water and an audio headset are provided.
With the training out of the way, it’s time to hit the open road.
On this 2-hour Segway tour around St Petersburg, cruise along Bay Shore Drive next to Tampa Bay, past Victorian-style homes to the downtown area. Learn about the history and culture of the Tocobaga Indians, who lived in small villages at the northern end of Tampa Bay from the year 900 to the 1500s. It is believed that their princess was the inspiration for Disney’s story of Pocahontas.
Then visit the spot where the world’s first commercial flight took off — the St Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line on January 1, 1914. See pictures of the pilot, Tony Jannus, as well as the aircraft he used on that first flight. Continue down to St Petersburg Pier, a landmark and tourist spot that extends into Tampa Bay. Learn about its development and importance to the city and check out the once-endangered brown pelicans mixing with the locals and diving into the water for food.
Finally, return to North Straub Park to conclude the tour.

I loved zipping through St. Petersburg on a Segway! It was fun and our tour guide informative and knowledgeable!
Eric_C, Mar 2024
Doo was a patient, kind, and knowledgeable guide. Segways were a great way to view a large area in a short time and get a lay of the land. Highlights for us were the dolphins, the palm tree park, and the Dali museum. Recommend!

With my 16 year old grandson visiting I wanted to find an active, fun and educational activity to do with him. This was perfect! The tour took us to such beautiful areas of St Pete! The tour guide, Louisa, was patient as she taught us how to safely ride on the Segway. She was knowledgeable as she shared St Pete’s history in a fun and interesting way. My grandson loved it and so did I! Highly recommended!!!
Rachel_R, Dec 2022
Louisa was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and social. It was great. It was our first time on segues. She was wonderful with us. We made several stops which was very nice. It was just enough time. I would definitely recommend her and to do the Segway again.
Delene_B, May 2022
Felt very comfortable navigating throughout the city routes under the direction of Louise. She was constantly on the lookout for traffic for her “little ducklings” following her. Thank you, Louise, for your graciousness and direction on our Segway tour.
Response from Host, May 2022
Safety is my number one priority so I'm so glad you felt safe and comfortable so you could enjoy the tour and the beautiful city with its local wildlife.
