Itinerary

Expand all

Make your reservation ahead of time and we meet at the starting location of the tour.

The Segway tour guide trains each participant one at a time on the use of the Segway Personal Transporter.

After being trained, it is best to practice your stops and turns in order to learn to trust the Segway (TRUST is the key). So far, this has taken about 2 – 25 minutes depending on the size of the group (there is always at least a 1:9 ratio between guides and FUN SEEKERS)

We head out on the Segway into historic, serene, and beautiful places in Appleton!

Tour of Appleton

What a fun way to reward a team on a project completion! Everyone is still talking about the day. Even talking to upper management for allowing this type of celebration. Amazing how fast everyone learned to ride the segway.

Sunday Glide

Linda our guide was great! Very personable and fun to glide with. We glided around Downtown Appleton and on the trail along the Fox River. Great weather! Great fun! My sister is anxious to do this with her family when they come home. I did this with my family last year.

As a first time segway rider, Nick did a great job teaching my son and me and we were off on our tour quickly. Nick was knowledgeable about the surroundings telling us all about the area and its history. Little things like properly timed breaks for our feet and water break which had had remembered to pack along made the tour even more pleasurable.

SO fun and Appleton is gorgeous!

Sep 2022

We thoroughly enjoyed our extensive tour of Appleton! Our guide, Alan, was great - very friendly and grew up in Appleton, so he really knew his way around. Plus we were able to see the "art house" which was cool, and I would guess even most residents don't know where it is!

My son is going to college at Lawrence University, and we did this as a kind of get-acquainted tour, but honestly it was just plain fun. Segways are very easy to maneuver - anyone can do it - and we had perfect weather. We went through several parks, over and around the river, and the views were breathtaking. We would highly recommend this tour.
