Buzz through Charlotte’s hopping Uptown neighborhood on this Segway tour of North Carolina’s biggest city! NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY (but participants must weigh at least 100 lbs. and can't be expecting a baby). We thoroughly and carefully train each guest BEFORE the 1.5 tour begins. It's FUN and EASY! Follow your local guide as you glide throughout the city, viewing our unique architecture, art, parks, and historic spaces. Our city has a fascinating history, and you can see it all UP CLOSE on a Segway! Choose either a 1.5- hr or 2-hour ride (the longer tour has limited availability). This is a GREAT, POPULAR tour of Uptown Charlotte, however we are often unable to accommodate guests who arrive late. PROMPT ARRIVAL IS A MUST FOR THIS TOUR. THANK YOU!!!

5.00What started as a time filler, turned out to become one of favorite part of our trip. Our guide was James and his upbeat attitude and knowledge of the city made a memorable experience! We would totally do it again and it was a fantastic way to learn about the area.

5.00Super fun. At first I thought I was going to break my neck but the super competent and calm instructor was very good at instructing the 4 of us before we went anywhere. Within 5 minutes it was super enjoyable and was such a cool way to get a synopsis of the city of Charlotte! We toured all 4 wards and it was nice to do on such a perfect hot and sunny day! Also, I expected to be in a huge group. It was just us 4 friends which was a lovely surprise! Thanks!
