Terrific tour!! I thought this was sort of a nerdy thing to do and honestly only did it because my boyfriend wanted to; but this was the highlight of my trip to San Francisco. Our tour guide Jack was very informative and funny. I would highly recommend this tour!!Sarah C., United States, 10-2011
The best way to see parts of San Francisco that a tourist probably will miss otherwise. The best part was we shared the road with other cars... that was thrilling. Our guide was so much fun. Even though he made us laugh at his jokes (j/k Jack) he was still funny and didn't feel like he does this everyday. He was very friendly and excellent photographer :)Abdul B., United States, 09-2011
Kristen was very informative on San Francisco history which made the tour that much more interesting! Great time! Easy to find! parking close by!Camilla R., United States, 09-2011
Myself and my partner had a ball on the Segway tour, our guide Marie was an absolute howl. Her narration, funny stories and basic due care and attention to the safety and well being of her clients was excellent. Definately recommed you take this tour and if you get Marie as your guide you will have a tour to remember.
Prior to this we'd never used Segways, but it's something that we took to like ducks to water. The training recieved was excellent, and we were made to feel relaxed... considering that after 30mins training you were going to be in the thick of the downtown traffic...
As a result Of Marie's guidance and the professionalism of the other staff at SFETC, were decided to seek out segway topur in every other city we visit. We're even going to try the One in our home town of Dublin.
It should be remebered, that if you can Segway up and down the hills of san Fran. You can Segway anywhere.
So A+ Grade For Marie and the staff, thanks you for a great morning. No forgetting some hilarious pictures.

Highly recommend this tour! Good value. Interesting and fun.Joe S., United States, 08-2011
Awesome - a must do with excellent staff for everyone who is visiting San Francisco. Highly recommendableMarcus R., Germany, 08-2011
Had a great time on this tour, better than any I've experienced. I was a little apprehensive about my wife's ability to pick up on the training for Segway, but the guides assured us that if anyone could not handle it on route they would make provision for one to return to start point. As it turned out my wife picked it up easily, as it seemed we all did. We both loved it very much. I felt myself say, 'I got to get myself one of these'.
Good job done.

The entire staff were professionals, they made sure that the safety of my family was their first priority and they made the learning fun. I will highly recommend your company for other travelers to the Bay area. Tom from Orange County.Tom C., United States, 07-2011

The Segay tour looked fun on the web site, but was better than I expected. Some in our party were a little nervous having never ridden Segways before, but the staff did an excellent job of making sure we were comfortable before we left the starting location. The Segways are fun to ride, and being out in the open instead of stuck on a bus makes you feel like you are getting a more close up look at the city. Also, our guide Jack was great! He was funny, friendly, informative, and helpful. The Segway tour was great and I would recommend it to anyone who plans on visiting San Francisco.Timothy A., United States, 06-2011
Dane is a an exceptional guide-he made the trip both fun and interesting. All of the staff were very pleasant and helpful.Lynn W., United States, 06-2011

The segway tour was so much fun. The staff was great at training us before we left and our guide was the best. This was probably the best tour we were on during our one week visit to San Francisco. Have to mention, it was raining during our tour, and, the guide and us still had a great time. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for an up close tour of the city.Kevin A., United States, 05-2011
Our tour guide was informative and fun.Teri R., United States, 05-2011
Was a great way to see the San Fran waterfront, and also some back streets along the way!Philip L., Australia, 03-2011
We had a GREAT time on our San Francisco Segway Tour. It was easy to learn how to drive the Segway, we were well trained by the staff, and our tour guide did an outstanding job of keeping us safe and allowing us to have FUN! I'll recommend the SF Electric Tour Co. to all of my friends in the Bay Area.David N., United States, 03-2011
Erik K., United States, 01-2011
Thank you to Chelsea and the SFETC for an absolutely fantastic experience. From the training before we left, the friendliness and confidence building of the staff, the knowledge of the city and its history, and the absolute fun you provided we could not have asked for more! You even provided us with perfect weather! The Frankham family Wanda Jane F., Australia, 01-2011
Melanie F., Australia, 12-2010
Tour guide was wonderful and have been telling everyone about her and the Segway Tour can't wait to go back and to it again!!!!Janine A., Australia, 10-2010
Tour covered elements advertised.john k., United States, 10-2010
If you haven't tried a Segway before ( I hadn't) try it as it's amazing and a Segway is now on my Christmas list. Taking the Segway around the streets with our tour guide Jeff was awesome and great fun, definatley recommend this to anyone.Andrew P., United Kingdom, 09-2010
Josh M., United States, 08-2010
I really enjoyed the tour - after first coming to grips with the Segway I think this was a great way to see parts of the city.Joshua B., Australia, 08-2010
The Segway Tour was the highlight of our visit to San Francisco.Robert D., United States, 06-2010
This in my opinion is the ONLY way to tour a location. You are there on ground level getting all the information while controlling how fast or slowly you pass the places of interest. I wish it could be done here in Australia. We have recently got home from our holiday and the Segway tour was the number one highlight!Glenn S., Australia, 05-2010
Walid was an excellent and attentive tour guide, thank you very much for the experience. The amount of time on the tour was also highly appreciated, would not want any shorter. Job well done!Werner S., United States, 04-2010
Wonderful experience! Recommending to all my friends & students as a necessity for visiting the city.Darell S., United States, 04-2010
Neal L., United States, 03-2010

The Electric Tour Company Segway tour is one of the most enjoyable family activities we have done in a long time. This activity rates right next to the Daintree Canopy surfing adventure available in Qld Australia. A great way to see a small part of San Francisco and fun way to learn a small part of the history. We will definitely do it again on our next trip to San Francisco. Tony A., Australia, 03-2010
Friendly guides, excellent tour contents. It is also a fun experience to Segway through hilly San Francisco geography.Mariko N., United States, 03-2010
this was an excellent tour. no regrets. our tour guide was excellent. despite the wet weather and the foggy conditions, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. thumbs UP!Ernie K., Australia, 12-2009

For those uncertain if they can learn to ride a Segway, rest assured, the instructors at the San Francisco Electric Tour Company will make sure you're ready to traverse the streets of San Francisco before setting you free. The staff is friendly and take pride in what they do. Riding the Segway is a unique experience all itself- and the fact you're doing it in such a lively atmosphere- trust me, you can't go wrong with this tour package!Rudy B., United States, 08-2009
The San Francisco Segway Tour was so much fun. The training prior to the tour was excellent where you felt very confident riding the segway before going out on the streets. Our tour guide was a lot of fun and she showed us all the interesting sites. I highly recommend this tour.Jayne L., United States, 08-2009
The segway tour is a great way to familiarize yourself with the city. The staff was very friendly, informative, and made the overall experience enjoyable for all ages. We did the 9:00am tour and highly recommend this time because the streets are less crowded and the sites are easier to be seen. Insider advice: wear long pants, jacket, and gloves - it is very chilly while cruising along. If you're interested in doing the Segway/Alcatraz combo tour - make sure you book it 1-2 weeks before your trip as the Alcatraz ferries fill up fast!Aubrey G., United States, 07-2009
This was a great first experience. My husband and I very much enjoyed the tour. My only piece of advice to other travelers is after the training session you are still not comfortable and the instructor gives you the opt out question take it. It is in my opinion important to feel comfortable in order to enjoy the tour and to not have an accident.
The tour guide was very professional and a kick to listen to. We will definitely take tours this way again in the future.Dawn S., United States, 06-2009
Karen B., United States, 06-2009
This is the second year that we have taken the tour, but the first for our college-aged daughter. The smile on her face at the end of the tour made it all worth it. Two days later we went on the advanced tour.Chris E., Hong Kong, 06-2009
We had a blast on the San Francisco Segway Tour. You couldn't ask for a better way to see Fisherman's Wharf area and the streets of San Francisco. Linda M., United States, 06-2009
Catherine S., United States, 06-2009
Brilliant!Craig B., Australia, 06-2009
I booked on line for a combo Segway/Alcatraz tour and wasn't quite sure what I was going to get before we flew into SFO. Now that we're home, my husband and I are STILL talking about the blast we had on the Segway tour. I joked it was the most fun you could have legally in all 50 states. The staff was professional and they put you at ease immediately. After the training session you felt competent to ride the city streets. The only non-excellent I would give is that the tour was "conducted" through mikes on the Segways and like all radio transmissions the clarity was lacking at times. But quite honestly, my husband and I both agreed we really didn't care since we just had so much fun riding the Segways through the streets of San Francisco. I have over 30 years of motorcycling experiences and had no problem immediately adapting to the Segway. My husband with NO motorcyling experience only took 5 minutes longer to adjust. If you can ride a bike and chew gum at the same time you're going to have no problem with the Segways. We're looking forward to taking the advance tour down Lombard Street the next time we're in SFO. Great job guys! Can't wait to go back. Debby A., United States, 05-2009
Segway tour was the best part of our trip, and we did a lot on our vacation. It was more than just worth the money. I strongly suggest that you make this a part of your trip to San Francisco. I would do it again. The staff were very professional and made you very comfortable on your tour. Thomas L., United States, 05-2009
Outstanding, great way to see San FranciscoThomas L., United States, 05-2009
to be able to ride through Fishermans Wharf on a busy day was AMAZING. The ride included LOTS of places to see and the guide (Aisha) was fun and accommodating. My friend fell off her Segway and,she STILL would do this again. It was THAT GOOD!!! I am doing this again! I loved it!!!Rebecca B., United States, 04-2009
Wonderful way to see SF.......and fun !! Rebecca B., United States, 04-2009
Good way to see SF............Rebecca B., United States, 04-2009
What a great way to view San Francisco especially with my 16 year old son! We both had a blast!stacy k., United States, 04-2009
My son said it was the best part of the whole trip to SF.Dave K., United States, 04-2009
SHIRLEY L., Puerto Rico, 04-2009
The Segway tour was one of the most fun things I have ever experienced. Our guide was very entertaining!Brandy B., United States, 12-2008
What a fun way to see San Francisco! For me it was a bit more about riding the Segway - as I already had some familiarity with SF - my guest from Sweden and I had a fantastic time!
I was so pleased - this was easy to set up on the Website, nice to combine the two reservations - your organization knew how to time them so we were not rushed at AlcatrazKristina B., United States, 11-2008
The tour was fun, the training was excellent, and the staff wonderful. The only change I would recommend is including more sites and explanations on the tour route. It was very limited - lots of residential and beach - and didn't live up to my expectations. I felt like I needed a more traditional tour afterward to really get the history and overview of SanFran. This was really a Segway tour, not a SF tour.Jeanne W., United States, 10-2008
Very cool! Have told many people about it.Carol S. M., United States, 09-2008
An amazing tour. I love riding the Segway. The weather was perfect. The guides were fun and informative. Worth the money. The only downside was that we only got two chances to take pictures the entire time. MAJOR bummer.Steve O., United States, 08-2008
I would highly recommend this tour, as you get great training using the equipment, everything's safe, and the tour itself was fun and interesting.Gavin O., United States, 08-2008
Our Segway tour was great.Carolyn D., United States, 08-2008

Larry K., United States, 06-2008
Great, fun and active way to see San Francisco! Enjoyed every minute, will definitely return for advanced, night tour when we return to San Francisco!Mary Jane T., United States, 06-2008
I really enjoyed riding a Segway, the streets we went on, and the training for the ride was excellent. Deb C., Canada, 03-2008
Craig T., New Zealand, 02-2008
Leah P., United States, 01-2008
This is a great tour for visitors who are looking for a great way to see the area. The segway allows for the tour to cover more grounds than a walking tour and it is a great experience to ride the segway. The training was very helpful - I was somewhat hesitant as to whether I would fall off the segway but we were given plenty of time to get used to it to really enjoy the experience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking into this for both San Francisco and the Sausalito tour. We had so much fun from the San Francisco tour, we signed up for the Sausalito tour immediately afterwards! The guys are funny, friendly and courteous. Next time we come back to San Francisco, we will definitely check out the advanced tour!Jacqueline S I., Canada, 12-2007
Met or exceeded my expectations. Staff was outstanding and helpful.Michael F., United States, 10-2007
We loved everything about this tour. The weather was perfect and made things even more enjoyable. Alcatraz is very interesting and the Ranger very informative. We had one of the best times of our lives on the Segways.
