The tour size is kept at 8 people unless there is one group booking together. However, if there are more than 8 people in your group, you must call to book as we have more than 50 Segways available.

Do you have to have GOOD BALANCE to ride a Segway PT?

No. You just have to TRUST the Segway and it will balance you. Don’t worry, we don’t expect you to trust the Segway at the very start but trust will come.

Why don’t you have the location on your website for where we meet for our tour?

We don’t want people to show up for their tour without a reservation because we will not have a Segway for you. When you make your reservation we give you the meeting location (or look at this link to see all our tour meeting locations).

Will I be trained on how to use the Segway?

Yes, we start with a training session that lasts between 10 to 30 minutes depending on group size and comfort level. As soon as everyone is comfortable, we take off!

What should I wear?

Best to wear comfortable shoes. Also, it is always a little cooler on the Segway.

Do I have to wear a helmet?

No, for most tours, there is one stop where we get off the Segway to rest our feet. As tours are in small groups, we can also stop as desired for the group.

How will I hear the tour guide?

The tour guide is a wealth of information about the area and will take periodic pauses to share. Feel free to ask the guide about the history or nature around.

Can I bring a bag or purse with me on the tour?

Yes, there is a handlebar bag for items.

Is it necessary to make reservations in advance?

Yes, it is necessary to make a reservation ahead of time as we transport the Segways to the tour locations and need to know in advance how many guests are participating.

Riders should have the ability to climb and descend stairs without assistance. Anyone who is exceptionally overweight, or physically infirmed, (not having the ability to climb upon and stand on the Segway PT for periods of time) should reconsider doing this tour.

Can a younger child ride with a parent/adult?

No. The Segway is designed for one rider. In many cases, you can rent a bike for them to bring them along.

We don’t just rent a Segway PT but if you have a specific place you would like to go please call us and we can design a tour especially for you or send a tour guide to accompany you at a location of your choice.

Had so much fun learning about Green Bay! We were here on a quick trip and our tour guide Al was incredible. He gave us some food and music insights and was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. We were new to riding a Segway and Al was patient, friendly, and a helpful instructor. We'd like to have a Segway tour of every new city we visit now! Would absolutely do this again in a heartbeat.

Great Experience! If you are looking for something fun to do while staying in Green Bay this is it. We had the owner as our tour guide, he was fun, engaging, and very knowledgeable about the history and neighborhoods we went through. We always felt safe and getting to ride on the Segway was super fun and a great way to see downtown. Highly recommend.

We did the downtown Green Bay tour with Rose as our guide. She was great! Very patient with two 60 yr olds and our 12 yr old grandson. It took us awhile to get the hang of it, but once we did - we enjoyed it so much! We live here in Green Bay, so knew alot of the history, but she was able to add things that we DIDN'T know, so that was fun too. Try it, you'll like it!

Al was our guide, our family had a wonderful time and enjoyed it a lot. We like Green Bay even more now that we have seen it through the eyes of this tour.
