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.

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!

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

William S., United States, 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.

Marieta C., United States, 04-2009

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!

Deb M., United States, 04-2009

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.

Anthony T., United States, 03-2009

Gary H., United States, 03-2009

great experience! will do it again!

Edward N., United States, 03-2009

LeeAnn W., United States, 03-2009

Jerome was awesome!!!

Lori M., United States, 03-2009

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!

DUANE G., United States, 12-2008

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!!!

Charlie H., United States, 11-2008

Ben B., United States, 11-2008

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.

Kevin A., United States, 11-2008

Monica C., United States, 10-2008

Excellent tour around some great San Francisco sights.

Alison S., United States, 09-2008

Michael W., United States, 09-2008

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

Hauke F., Germany, 05-2008

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

Paul B., Australia, 02-2008

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!
