Excellent experience. Our guide DAN was AWESOME.

Donna H., United States, 01-2012

Jean H., United States, 01-2012

This was our second tour - after the great time we had last year we were excited to go again. Because we had such a great time last year we didn't know if this one would measure up, BUT it was super!!! Dan did a great job. Thanks!!

Paul G., United States, 01-2012

John H., United States, 11-2011

Both my wife and I have taken both the basic and advanced Segway tours from your operation and have been more than very pleased each time. We had the same guide each time and this truly made each of the tours memorable.

Bob F., United States, 11-2011

Wonderful itineraries and great guides!

Nancy R., United States, 11-2011

Suzanne M., United States, 11-2011

We had a fantastic time on this tour and have already started telling all our friends they must do this when visiting San Francisco

Sharon O., Australia, 11-2011

As an experienced rider, I was very excited to see an "Advanced" tour was available. How many people can say they've been down Lombard street on a Segway! I absolutely recommend this tour for anyone who has experience on a Segway.

Tracy Anne F., United States, 11-2011

If you are feeling adventurous, try the advanced segway tour down Lombard Street (twice). Best segway tour I have every been on. Guide was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable of SF.

Grant T., United States, 10-2011

Thanks to Chelsea for a memorable tour. We will be posting our comments on tripadvisor.

Daniel G., United States, 10-2011

The tour was a blast. Chelsea was a great guide.

Michael S., United States, 10-2011

This was the second time we've had Marie. She was a great guide. Segways are hecka fun to ride and the advanced tour was wonderful. Next time, we'll check other San Francisco activities, though, because going on Fleet Week wasn't ideal.

Linda N., United States, 10-2011

We had SO much fun! We had only done one previous Segway Tour and were a little worried about doing the advanced tour on all the hills. However, Kristen did a great job of giving us the techniques we needed to feel comfortable on all the hills. We had never been to San Francisco before and had only one day to spend in the city. It was an AWESOME way to see and learn about lots of things in a fairly short amount of time. If you are considering this tour, do it! It was worth every penny.

Kayla S., United States, 10-2011

We've been on Segway tours in half a dozen cities, and this advanced tour was second to none.

Jonathan N., United States, 09-2011

Milton U., United States, 09-2011

Moya C., United States, 09-2011

Chelsea was an awesome tour guide. This segway tour was the highight of our San Francisco vacation.

Doyle C., United States, 09-2011

Bernhard S., Germany, 09-2011

This is an absolute MUST for anyone living in or visiting San Francisco! In addition to an informative and exciting tour, riding a Segway is a great experience. Our tour guide, Dane, was excellant and went above and beyond anything we expected. Dane was extremely attentive to an individual who needed additional assistance and made the entire tour a great experience for everyone. Without question we would recommend this tour to everyone!

Dennis K., United States, 09-2011

Great experience for the first time segway driver. Great way to see SF

philip g., Australia, 09-2011

It will be hard to ever top this tour! The guide was very fun, energetic, and kind. The hills, scenery, and the whole tour overall was one of the best memories we have of SanFrancisco! A MUST do!!!! Well worth the money!

Ricardo C., United States, 09-2011

This was a really exciting and challenging experience - our guide Chelsea developed our confidence very quickly (we are experienced segway riders too!) would definitely do this again.

Clare M., United Kingdom, 09-2011

Steve S., United States, 09-2011

Fun, fun, fun. Well guided and relaxed, I highlight of our time in San Francisco.

Geinor C., United States, 09-2011

Lots of fun! Chelsea & Dan were great guides.

Barbara F., United States, 09-2011

Fun route, and though I had beeen to SF before I learned a lot through the guides interesting stories about this city while driving around

Kirsten S., Germany, 09-2011

If you've ridden a segway before, the advanced tour is a must. You get to see so much of San Francisco in a short time and have a blast while doing it.

Ian T., Canada, 09-2011

Great experience! Recommending to all of our friends and business associates. Golden Gate Park is next.

Tom G., United States, 09-2011

Our tour guide on Sunday, Sept. 4th was great! We went on the Advanced Hills tour and I was afraid that it would be very difficult but it was great! our tour guide was so helpful and made it so much fun!

Catherine P., United States, 09-2011

This tour was a blast! Chelsea was very friendly and fun and she really showed us a great time going up and down these amazing steep streets. I have done a lot of segway tours in various locations and this was one of the most enjoyable tours I have been on!! We had a great group of people with us. The streets were a little scary, but you really feel a sense of accomplishment when you realize you have the ability to manuver these amazing streets, and the scenery was amazing. Thanks Chelsea for making us feel so comfortable and safe.

Dana S., United States, 09-2011

Fabulous way to see the city from top to bottom, Marie, our tour guide was great and interesting. The key sites were covered and overall a great tour.

Elisabeth B., United States, 08-2011

Alex L., United States, 08-2011

A unique way to get around & tour a unique city (SF). Like the city, it is beautiful, cool & breezy!

Louisa N., United States, 08-2011

Richard L., United States, 08-2011

outstanding adventure! Great fun! I've taken all my out of town visitors on the basic segway tour through North Beach and Fishermans' Wharf.....now I plan on taking them on the advanced tour when they make a return visit....or maybe I'll try out the Sausalito tour.....definitely a "must do" adventure!

Jenny G., United States, 08-2011

Crooked Street Tour is an excellent route. It was hard to believe the area we were able to cover. Especially enjoyed Lombard St. Where we were the attraction by the other tourists. Chelsea the guide was excellent.

Jeffrey R., United States, 08-2011

Ariel C., United States, 08-2011

The advanced tour was great! Climbing to the highest peeks, the views of the city, making our way down Lombard St., manuvering around the city...it was all a thrill! I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Cheri S., United States, 08-2011

My husband and our two teenage sons took the advanced segway tour a few weeks ago. We had an amazing time. Dane was a very entertaining and informative guide. This tour was a great way to start our vacation in SF.

Rose H., United States, 08-2011

The tour was excellent! We loved the fact that we could listen on an earpiece as we have done several segway tours before and this was the first tour with that option which was very helpful. Our tour guide Chelsea was fantastic as well, as she was very knowledgeable and had a great, fun personality.

Kendra F., United States, 08-2011

The Advanced tour allows one to see beautiful skyline vistas of San Francisco as well as challenging routes. Definitely a fun time for all!!

Ken L., United States, 08-2011

Segwaying is fun. The advanced hill tour (on a nice day) is interesting with beautiful views, minimal traffic interference and easily managable hilly terrain.

Jeff K., United States, 08-2011

This tour was tons of fun. the Segway were a perfect way to explore the hills of San Francisco.I highly recommend.

Mary G., United States, 07-2011

We had an amazing time with Chelsea.She's been terrific showing us the city and letting us having fun with going up and down the hills.Will def recommend this tour to others.

Alexandra J., United Arab Emirates, 07-2011

We absolutely loved it and my 14 year old daughter said it was the highlight of her trip! It was true, that we became the tourist attraction going down Lombard St. and we got to do it twice! Our tour guide Jeff was very informative and the narration was extremely interesting! Great job!

Lisa T., United States, 07-2011

Chelsea was the best and loved going on both tours with her.

Felix B., United States, 07-2011

Our guide was fabulous! This is a great tour and a ton of fun. It's just like touring the area with a good friend.....and on 2 wheels!

Janice M., Canada, 07-2011

Outstanding opportunity for those with Segway experience to ride the hills of SF. Tour guide Kristen was great in getting us around town and providing tour narrative with a good sense of humor.

Andrew S., United States, 07-2011

Andre G., Germany, 07-2011

This was the most fun I have ever had on a tour. The hills and turns were a blast!

Tammy C., United States, 07-2011

It was very memorable and exciting. We really felt it was an advance tour. The Highlight was the Lombard street, with the fun ending at the bottom of the hill. Thanks a lot.

Dmitriy T., United States, 07-2011

I took my two sons, one 14 and one 24 on the advance Segaway tour. We had a blast. We would do it again. The hills and Lombard street twice... a fun accomplishment. It was the best way to see the city...

Jo F., United States, 06-2011

stev g., Germany, 06-2011

It was only our 2nd time on a Segway and we took the advance tour in San Fran. We loved it and plan to do another tour soon. We wish we had known about the 10.00 validated parking close as we paid for a taxi there and back from our hotel.

Merna G., United States, 06-2011

Having done the basic tour the day before, doing the advanced tour was amazing , going up the steep hills was fun, going down Lombard st was awesome, we were a tour of 2 plus our guide so it felt very personal! A great way to spend two hours!!

Georgina W., United States, 05-2011

Have done many Segway tours in many cities and the Advanced Hills Tour was one of the best.

Barbra E., United States, 05-2011

we will plan our next trip around where there is a segway tour!

Margaret W., United States, 05-2011

Marie rocks as a tout guide. Although we know San Francisco well, we learned alot and enjoyed this unique vantage point and the challenge and fun of the whole experience. Yes!

Diane C., United States, 05-2011

My wife and i had a great time on the Advanced tour. Lots to see, very efficient, safe and great fun. Lasting memories!

Ben C., Australia, 05-2011

Johan W., United States, 05-2011

The Advanced Segway Tour was an amazing experience! It far exceeded our expectations and was excellent value. The segways themselves were good quality, smooth operating machines, simple steering and seemed quieter than previous segways I have ridden. We weren't expecting to tour because of the rain & cool weather (May) so were pleasantly surprised that staff offered plastic raincoats & small gloves to wear during our tour. The rain held off but we really appreciated the light protective clothing over our jackets. Even though the segway Advanced Tour was 2 1/2 hours long, we didn't get tired out by standing on segways & still had energy to walk around the waterfront after our tour. The tour guide (Chelsea - love her!) was chock full of information and had a great sense of humour! With the 3 of us and 3 other guests on our tour, Chelsea was able to keep in touch with us via headsets while she narrated many of San Francisco's highlights and buildings along the route. We were impressed with so many details and facts about the city and it's history. Our tour guide (as I'm sure all staff are) made sure to give us upcoming turning directions before entering traffic and was always conscientious of our safety as individuals and as a group. We felt confident riding/driving our segways and even though it was an advanced tour for previous segway-ers? the slightest hesitation going up & down steep hills turned into enthusiastic challenges within minutes! Our pictures show us on our segways, very proud at the bottom of Lombard St. (crooked street) while cars & taxis struggle to make the steep decline! As Canadians, we have a lot of cities with steep streets but nothing like the hills of San Francisco. This Advanced Segway Tour was THE highlight of our vacation and we definitely would book another with SF Electric Tour Company if we get the chance to return to the west coast. Also, liked the certificates and pins that we were awarded. Our family of 3 (two over 60's & one 21 yr. old) think touring the city on a segway is the perfect way to "see" this city! Anybody can ride in a tour bus and look at the sights, but riding a segway IS an experience!

Shaun F., Canada, 05-2011

Exceeded expectations. A memorable experience

Robert H., United States, 05-2011

We had a great time and what a great way to see a lot of San Francisco!

Robert H., United States, 05-2011

Great staff, very energetic.

Jared N., United States, 05-2011

Our tour guide, Chelsea, was great. Excellent routing enabled us to cover ground we would have never thought of covering on foot.

Marvin N., United States, 05-2011

The advanced tour was fantastic, and Chelsea was an excellent tour guide.

Harold B., United States, 05-2011

The tour was wonderful, most especially due to our tour guide Marie. She was professional in every way and a lot of fun to boot. What an asset to have her working for your company. I have already highly recommended the tour to friends, family, and even strangers on the bus in San Francisco and told them that if Marie is their guide they won't be sorry.

Jane B., United States, 05-2011

Bert D., United States, 05-2011

Lynn G., United States, 04-2011

I loved it!

Jamie L., United States, 04-2011

This tour was the Bomb! It was so much fun and we had a great tour guide. I wanted to do it a second time!

Antoinette p., United States, 04-2011

Ramona S., Germany, 04-2011

Lot of fun. For me a local, a bit too much talking and not enough riding. I paid to ride the Segway, not stop to hear about Alcatraz, but I am not the ordinary visitor to the city, I live here, so for most people it was just right. Jeff was great.

BUD Z., United States, 04-2011

BUD Z., United States, 04-2011

Are YOU already an experienced Segway driver? Then there's no reason NOT to take part in this extraordinary good tour. Very motivated staff, wonderful tour, great experience in riding the Segway through the crooked streets of SF. Many thx to Chelsea, and greetings from Cord&Ellen!

Cord C., Germany, 04-2011

This was our second tour. We had difficulty hearing the guide on the earphones.

Karol M., United States, 04-2011

It was all good. We had a great time and the guide was excellent.

Jeffrey M., United States, 03-2011

This was the highlite of our trip. Going down Lombard St. was a real kick. Chelsea was a fun & informative guide. We'll do it again on our next SF trip

Jeff B., United States, 03-2011

The Segway tour company was very organized and friendly. Our guide was awesome! She was very easy going and very knowledgeable of the city's history. We would absolutely do another tour with this company.

Scott & Jessica H., United States, 03-2011

Robert S., United States, 02-2011

Overall, it was a fabulous experience. Jeff was a great tour guide.

RuthAnn R., United States, 01-2011

Highly recommend, best Segway tour I've done, loved Lombard....terrific!

Kenneth M., United Kingdom, 12-2010

This tour was the highlight of our trip to San Francisco. We went all over the hills and even went down Lombard Street twice. It was great fun we felt very comfortable on the Segways.

Donna R., United States, 12-2010

No better way to see San Francisco! Not limited to the trolley tracks. Saw every sight. Great value and great fun. After segwaying San Fran, going to be hard to have fun segwaying in flat Cities.

Richard H., United States, 12-2010

I've ridden Segways in many cities in the U.S. and Canada over the past several years, but nothing has equaled the thrill and pleasure of whisking up and down the hills of San Francisco! Not to mention, there is no way to match the pleasure of being the center of attention of tourists, pedestrians, and countless photographers as one comes down Lombard Street on a Segway.

Lance R., United States, 11-2010

Toni H., United States, 11-2010

This is the 3rd Segway tour and we liked the advanced tour best of all. We were able to get to areas of San Francisco that the usual tourist doesn't know to go. The tour guide was great.

Sue L., United States, 11-2010

We loved it, loved it loved it! You need past experience for sure.

Cheryl D., United States, 11-2010

When the sun shines it would be a great sightseeing opportunity. Unfortunately the weather was very wet and windy.

Sue R., United Kingdom, 10-2010

I would highly recommend the Segway Advanced tour , it takes in some great sites of San Francisco city

Michael B., United Kingdom, 10-2010

This is the 4th timeI have taken your tours - FANTASTIC TIME. I can hardly wait to come back and do it again

Tom H., United States, 10-2010

John D., United States, 10-2010

John D., United States, 10-2010

This was by far the best Segway tour I have had in any city. I highly recommend it as it is the vest way to see the most sights in the City in the shortest time.

Yvonne D., United States, 09-2010

I'd do it again, it's just awesome

Peter K., Switzerland, 09-2010

Raymond B., United States, 09-2010

Nice tour over the hills of San Francisco. Great experience, absolutely recommendable.

Winhold T., Germany, 09-2010

Suzanne D., United States, 09-2010

This an excellent tour for taking the segway a bit further that the ordinary tours. Your segway skills will be tested and improved on this tour. Lombard street was a challenge at first, but by the end of the tour it was a piece of change. The tour is not so much about going fast on the segway, but is more focused on the ability to ride the hills of SF. Really enjoyed the tour.

Nikolaj B., Denmark, 08-2010

The advanced tour was fantastic and worth every penny. We traveled over 6 miles on our tour with a great guide. I swear the Segway can read your mind its that easy.

Richard S., United States, 08-2010

Great fun!

John C., United States, 08-2010

Wendy S., United States, 08-2010

It was the most fun I've had in ages! Highly recommended!

Don B., United States, 08-2010

Tour route was great, especially Lombard St. and the Marina and North Beach neighborhoods. We covered alot and Jeff was full of fun and interesting facts and tales.

Janet W., United States, 08-2010

Ohlen A., United States, 08-2010

I loved riding Segways and look in each city I visit for the opportunity. I did one in Chicago, and now in San Francisco. I think Segway tours are a great way to get to know certain parts of the cities.

John S., United States, 08-2010

Excellent tour and a real highlight on our honeymoon!

Graham S., United Kingdom, 08-2010

Shawn M., United States, 08-2010

We took the "advanced" tour and were impressed with Jeff's care in going over the basics and then his encouragement in taking us on a challenging tour.

Andrea C., United States, 08-2010

Lisa V., United States, 08-2010

The advanced tour was one of the top activities my family participated in during our 9 day northern California trip. Tour guide Robin was excellent - fun, informative and ready to cover the city.

Anastasia S., United States, 08-2010

This tour was great!! Fun and informative, it was one of our favorite things we did in San Francisco. Don't forget to bring a coat-we went in August and it was very cold especially on the Segways. We loved it and Chelsea was great!!

Brooke H., United States, 07-2010

This advanced tour was a delight for our entire family. We're still talking about it! Chelsea was an excellent guide - fun and informative. Definitely recommend this tour!

RoyAnn M., United States, 07-2010

Advanced tour is excellent we managed to segway down Lombard street twice which was very good as the first time you were nervous but the second time you got to enjoy it.

Sinead M., United States, 07-2010

The Advanced Tour was incredible. Having done several other tours this was exactly what I wanted. Segways and San Francisco's hills were made for each other!

Greg S., United States, 07-2010

This was our 6th segway tour with our Grandchildren. The advanced tour down Lombard street and the hills was the best tour yet. We have recommended to many friends already. Thank you

Jackie A., United States, 07-2010

Lombard Street on Segways-- a must-do!

Margaret S., United States, 07-2010

Electric Tour Co. ran the advanced tour with only 2 paying customers after the 4th of july. It made our vacation. My son and I love the Segway's and getting the opportunity to ride down Lombard and other very challenging hills was a great thrill. Electric Tour Co Advanced tour takes Segway riding to a whole new level

Edward E., United States, 07-2010

Loved this tour. Ishah was amazing and took the time to give us an up-close-and-personal tour. It was just my husband and I on the advanced hill tour and we had a blast, particularly when we sailed down Lombard!

Ronald H., United States, 07-2010

Our tour guide had some of his facts about The Presidio very wrong. As a 32-year resident of San Francisco, please be sure guides have accurate, unbiased information about the city. Thank you.

Virginina F., United States, 06-2010

Excellent staff and our tour guide was fantastic. She funny, educational, and always looked out for our safety. I would recommend this tour to anyone!

Leslie G., United States, 06-2010

We had a great tour (this was our fourth). Iseha (sp?) did and excellent job in her narrative, courtesy, and overall preformance. She seemed to be having as much fun as we were. Her willingness to answer questions and engage with our group was delightful. She's an asset to your company. We loved the route and the adventure. We've recommended this company and tour to many friends.

Jan C., United States, 06-2010

Jeffrey C., United States, 06-2010

A beautiful city, a great tour and a wonderful guide. It was the highlight of our trip to SF. The route was gorgeous, and we really appreciated the time our guide took to show us the sights while giving us time to linger. And the trip down Lombard Street will never be forgotten. I used to work in the city and this is one of the best ways to see it.

Scott C., United States, 06-2010

the advanced tour is truly a once in a lifetime experience. After all how many of your friends or family can say they took a segway down Lombard street .. TWICE!! Highly recommend taking advantage of this unique experience and it is worth qualifying for the advanced round to take this tour.

Troy P., United States, 05-2010

Brigitte T., United States, 05-2010

Tour was awesome. 2X down Lombard OOH LA LA couldn't really hear through speakers, scratchy

Martha B., United States, 04-2010

Bart Z., United States, 04-2010

Jeff was an excellent tour guide! We have done this in 2 other cities and this was by far the best! Thank you for showing us your beautiful city!

Gerry B., United States, 04-2010

Our segway tour was very enjoyable and we found it to be a great way to see San Francisco. In particular it was a lot of fun to go down Lombard Street - known as the most crooked street in the world. Be aware that they won't cancel for light rain - we had to wear ponchos which detracted a little from the experience. Our guide was also not very keen on letting us take too many photos (not allowed to take photos whilst on segway for safety), so there were a few really great shots we missed out on, but you do stop quite often at different places where you can take photos then. In general the tour was great and I would recommend it!

Cara P., Australia, 04-2010

william f., United States, 04-2010

This was our families second Segway tour in six months with the San Francisco company we loved both tours and am looking forward to our third tour with them!! Outstanding, friendly, helpful staff!!

Renee F., United States, 04-2010

We took the advanced tour which enabled us to go down the Lombard crooked hill on the Segways, amazing - the best yet!!

Gina B., United States, 03-2010

Elizabeth L., United States, 03-2010

The advanced tour was challenging and fun. The new Segway models that lean to steer were very easy to use.

Bill K., United States, 02-2010

The tour was great. It was nice not having too many people in the group.

Greg G., United States, 12-2009

Robert A., United Kingdom, 12-2009

It was excited, pleasant and educational! Super tour!!

Olga P., United States, 12-2009

David A., United Kingdom, 11-2009

I really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it.

Kevin M., United States, 11-2009

This was the third time i HAVE USED YOUR TOURS. They have all been great. The Lombard tour was the best and Jeff did a great job. I wish I could do a tour each month but I live in Colorado (damn). Keep up the good work.

Tom H., United States, 10-2009

The advanced segway tour was great! Of course, the best part was going down Lombard Street! Jeff was an awesome tour guide. Thanks for an unforgettable segway ride!

Jan L., United States, 10-2009

Segway's may be the best way to see San Francisco because they can climb the hills for you. If they are not the best, they certainly the most fun way to see the City. The Advanced Tour is even better than the standard tour because it takes you through more neighborhoods and gives a better feel for the City. The ride down Lombard Street on a Segway is unforgettable!

Jeffrey G., United States, 10-2009

Out tour was the "advanced riders" tour, included navigating Lombard Street ! It was excellent. Our guide took extra care to ensure our safety and satisfaction under unusual circumstances as the tour was during Fleet Week, Italian celebration and while the President's Cup was in play--in other words SF was VERY CROWDED. Multiple streets were temporarily closed off or challenging with congestion. An awesome trip-would do it again in SF with this company. Thanks for the great ride!

Penny P., United States, 10-2009

Judith W., United States, 10-2009

Amazing experience!

JOHN Y., United States, 09-2009

A real blast. Great family activity.

Max L., Canada, 08-2009

Great way to see the city. The hills are easy once you get the hang of it, so if you are an experienced segway rider, don't let the hills scare you from taking the advanced course.

Laurie W., United States, 08-2009

Fantastic tour

Sheldon S., United Kingdom, 08-2009

Glenn A., United States, 08-2009

Advanced tour is great! Takes you through a lot of the neighborhoods in San Francisco and is a good way to see a lot of the city in a little bit of time.

Jordon K., United States, 08-2009

Kathleen O., United States, 08-2009

Richard D., United States, 07-2009

Terrific! We did the advanced tour and it was great.

William S., United States, 07-2009

France R., Canada, 07-2009

Rebecca F., United States, 06-2009

The advanced Segway tour is an excellent tour that I have already recommended to friends.

Rebecca F., United States, 06-2009

Heather B., United States, 05-2009

The tour guide was excellent! My only complaints based on other tours was that this is tour is much more expense, but the tour guide made it well worth the trip!

Glenn Y., United States, 05-2009

The advanced tour was so fun. Going on the steeper hills and the crookedest street was awesome. Wish we could have ridden all day long.

Betsy R., United States, 04-2009

This was an excellent tour of the different areas of San Francisco. I loved being able to go down Lombard Street on the Segway. It was easier than I thought it would be.

Michael L., United States, 04-2009

Our guide was great. Very knowledgeable and friendly

Brian G., United States, 04-2009

great experience, adequate machinery, good guide.

Leo H., United States, 04-2009

veronica m., United States, 04-2009

The Segway Advanced Rider Tour San Francisco was one of the best experiences we had. It gave us a great opportunity to get an overview of the highlights of San Francisco. The route offers amazing views of the city, the bay, Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Brigde, etc. There were plenty of stops to take pictures. My only suggestion is to make the stops shorter because sometimes they were too long and it took time away from actually riding on the segway and seeing more things.

We had an absolute blast doing the advanced tour. It was just me, my husband and our 14 year old. It was very personal and far exceeded any expectations I had. Going down Lombard St. on the Segway was awesome!

The San Francisco Segway tour was an absolutely fun and convenient way to tour the city. The staff was very friendly and comical. Not only will you see all of the tourist attractions, you will also be one.

Great Segway tour of the city. Signed up for advanced ride but was cancelled due to rain. Was able to take the regular tour the next day.

Kayleen M., United States, 02-2009

Had a blast - will recommend to friends.

Gary G., United States, 01-2009

The San Francisco Segway advanced tour is so much fun. I would totally do it again. Nothing beats taking a segway and going around San Francisco

Erik M., United States, 12-2008

Jeremy did an awesome job as our guide. My 16 year old son LOVED the tour and wanted to do it again! I took himn to Hollyood, Malibu, etc....he wanted to do another our with Jeremy!! Great Job!

The advanced tour was an incredible experience, and a WOW fun event. Going down Lombard Street was a thrill, whether you are from the Bay Area or any place else in the world. The guides are keen on keeping everyone safe, and know quite a few facts about San Francisco that you won't hear anywhere else. Would be tough to find another way to spend a few hours doing something so exhilarating.

Jane W., United States, 11-2008

We enjoyed the Advanced Rider Tour, going down Lombard street was awesome.

Jacque K., United States, 11-2008

The team is simply superb. They accommodated myself and 2 friends for an Advanced Tour that wasn't on the schedule. We had an awesome time from the beginning (hence our going for the Advanced Tour 2 days later). I recommend this experience to anyone and everyone. Go with friends and have a laugh while learning about San Francisco!!!

The advanced tour was a blast. Our guide Jeff was very knowledgeable and kept us all engaged. Nice balance between riding and general touring. We literally stopped traffic when we rode down Lombard St. -- the "crookedest" street. Lots of hill riding. Highly recommended!

Helene H., United States, 11-2008

We took the advanced tour and our guide was fantastic - really informed and entertaining. Will be recommending this tour to friends.

The tour was great! I didn't expect the weather to be as chilly as it was...this was no fault of the tour company. The guide told us about a wonderful Italian restaurant, and I called back the next day for a reminder of the restaurants' name and the tour employee gave me the name, address, phone number and directions to the restaurant! She didn't have to do all of that, but that just shows the kind of service you will receive here. Wonderful!!

Heather R., United States, 09-2008

Our guide Jerome was friendly and knowledgeable about the sites and gave us a great tour of the hills and neighborhoods we went through.

Charles H., United States, 08-2008

Excellent experience and a highlight of the vacation. staff does a great job

Frank R., United States, 08-2008

It has been one of the most valuable tour I ever done. The stuff are great, professional, competent and very friendly. The segway is a great machine and allowed you to have the best tour ever possible, that because allowed you to see all without any particular effort and at the same time with the access at the most part of the city. well I would say DO IT and you will be as happy as I am :-).

Danilo A., , 08-2008

Don't miss this, it was the highlight of our trip!

Karen F., United States, 08-2008

Have done a tour before (in Paris) - this tour had far more health & safety guff at the beginning (some of which was perhaps over the top, but much of it would be useful for a complete beginner). The ride wasn't particularly advanced - but having done it before it wasn't going to be particularly challenging. The tour itself was very interesting - and so the Segway was good as a means of getting around.

Anthony T., United Kingdom, 08-2008

I was fortunate to have a small group. There were just three of us. This made for an excellent tour as our guide wasn't herding a group of cattle around. We were able to stop at each point of the tour and spend lots of time there. We also were able to go to spots not on the normal tour. I was quite pleased with the tour and the guide and highly recommend it. I look forward to going back to SF and touring on my own Segway now that they're allowed on the BART system.

Dewayne H., United States, 08-2008

Segway is an AWESOME way to tour a city.

Chris & Tonya E., United States, 08-2008

Mary T., , 08-2008

Do not miss this tour... it is great fun with wonderful views of the city, bay, etc.

Jim S., United States, 08-2008

All the members of our party had a great time. "Mama Duck" (Carla?) was absolutely terrific, from her deft, authoritative handling of traffic to her off-the-wall sense of humor. We loved it, even I, the old 75-year-old!

John T., United States, 07-2008

Steve H., United States, 07-2008

We had an absolute awesome time. It was the highlight of our trip to San Francisco. The guides we had and all the staff were fantastic and very nice. We will definitely do it again!!!

Lee P., United States, 07-2008

This is a "must-do" for San Francisco. The segways are a blast and the tour guide gives loads of fun and interesting info about the city. You can see so much in a short time, and it is way easier than climbing hills for 2 hours. Our kids loved being a "tourist attraction" themselves, as people frequently stopped to take OUR picture! Were wishing we had one to ride in Yosemite, and will definitely plan other vacations around the availability of Segways in other cities. We have gone on Segway tours in Wash DC and San Antonio, TX, and this advanced tour beats them all. Would highly recommend for families with kids. The kids master them before the adults! There are plenty of chances to get off and take pictures or just take a break. Can't say enough about how much fun we had!

Teresa H., United States, 07-2008

Thomas S., United States, 07-2008

This is the best tour ever! The route we went on this was great and I'd do it again! Also, I had a little trouble with my natural reaction on one point and the guide took the time to make sure I got it with nothing but patience. THANK YOU!!!!

Jani C., United States, 07-2008

Superb experience. Even though we last took a tour many years ago, the Segway was very easy to ride up and down hills of San Francisco. The advanced tour in San Francisco was much better than the basic tour that we took on the Balboa Penninsula (Orange County, CA). Highly recommended. My 13 year-old son had no problems riding. I don't understand why the Angel Island Segway tour requires riders to be 16.

David L., United States, 07-2008

This is the second Segway Tour I've done and loved it even more than the first time.

Edie F., United States, 06-2008

Mike D., United States, 05-2008

The actual tour route was very good, especially if someone was not familiar with the sites of the City. Guide had a good sense of humor and engaged in pleasant conversation with the riders while at rest stops. She also handled situation out of the norm and had complete control of the group.

John D., United States, 05-2008

The tour was well planned and gave a stunning tour of the city.

Bryan C., United States, 04-2008

Awesome tour! We've been on two other Segway tours in other cities and this was the best.

David C., United States, 04-2008

It is a good basic segway tour if you have never been on a segway before - plenty of time to train and not much car traffic. Do this tour first on your vacation to get an overview of SF otherwise it will feel like you have seen all this already if you were there a few days and then went on the tour.

Laura D., United States, 04-2008

Don't miss this. It's a bit more money than you might usually spend but you will LOVE it!

Jennifer J., United States, 03-2008

Our "advance riders" tour was great. Would liked to have gone down Lombard twice rather than riding around and around North Beach. Our guide, Carla, was excellent along with Lilly and Amy. This was our second ride around the wharf area with this company; we're considering the Sausalito tour next and have signed up for the Segway tour in Washington, D.C. at the AARP convention. We really enjoy the ride!!!

Grace M., United States, 02-2008

What a great way to see the sights of San Francisco! Riding the hills was a blast!

Don G., United States, 01-2008

We've taken two Segway tours with S.F. Electric Tours - the Night Tour and the Advanced Tour - and they have both been a blast! Highly recommend to both tourists and locals. I lived in SFO for 15 years and NEVER went to Fishermans Wharf - a real tourist trap - but the Segway tour makes the rest of the Wharf circus worth enduring, and you become the center of attention. It's five stars on two wheels!

Robert W., United States, 11-2007

Carla was sensational!
