5.00Our guide was super helpful getting us going on our first time on segways. He made sure to point out any bumps in the road and tight corners. He was super friendly and even took pictures of us on the Segways.

5.00James was an excellent tour guide. He gave us a brief overview of the Segways (we all had previous experience riding them) and we went on our tour. We passed so many cool sites and James gave us a history lesson on them. I highly recommend this tour for a fun and informative trip while in Charlotte.
Fun, enjoyable, learning, exciting, safe and well priced…. Best experience I had while visiting for a short stay.

5.00I’m from small town Wyoming and was very nervous about getting out in HUGE town Charlotte but did a historic 90 tour on Segway scooters and the BEST time ever. I ended up getting a solo trip on a Monday, James was the absolute highlight of my experience. Was able to ride comfortably on the Segway and I turn 60 this year. I was worried about my balance, but never had an issue with James fun training….. after that I believe anyone can ride, if your worried don’t!! My balance is awful and I very much enjoyed the ride. The information on the history of Charlotte was really nice. Coming from the west and knowing cowboy history, this was really fun!! I would highly recommend any of their tours, I plan on coming back and doing a ghost one….. it is truly a MUST do and very much worth it!! Angie Frazier
Enjoyed!

5.00This Segway tour was tremendous! James was our tour guide and he was absolutely the best! Friendly, courteous, extremely knowledgable about the history of Charlotte, aware of the connection to Cincinnati and their claim for being the Queen City, and very proud of his community! James was great at answering our questions and took our photos in multiple stops. Highly recommend this tour!
Fantastic!

5.00We took James’s Segway tour to get our bearings on the area since we’re relocating here, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip! James was incredibly charismatic and shared a wealth of information about the city’s history, neighborhoods, and local gems. His enthusiasm made the tour both fun and memorable, and his passion for Charlotte truly shines through. Even our three teenagers loved it — which says a lot! It was the perfect mix of adventure, learning, and laughter. An excellent representation of the city, and a fantastic way for families to explore together. Highly recommend!
Well organised and fun
