    We had a very informative, helpful and awesome tour guide. We saw a lot of historical sites. Segway's were a great way to get around town. Easy enough to learn how to ride quickly. I would definitely do this again. And watch out if you give your camera to the tour guide. He might take lots of pictures of himself. LOL

    It was our first segue tour and we loved it! We learned a lot about the history of the area and got to see various properties that were owned by famous people. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone new to the area or visiting on a vacation.

    This was an awesome tour. Aziel was our guide, and he was a wealth of knowledge when it came to the history of Galveston historical homes and buildings. This was our first time on a segway. After a short training on how to use the segway we were off and enjoying the historical district of Galveston. I would highly recommend doing this tour if you have an opportunity.

    I love Galveston and go there often, but still learned so many new and interesting things. Matthew was an excellent guide. He made the Segway part fun and comfortable, and his passion for history was evident. This was the most memorable thing I did on this trip, and I will definitely do it again. Totally recommend!

    My husband and I had a great time with Matthew! He was thorough about sharing so much of the history as well as tips of things to do and see on vacation. Loved exploring the town on a Segway. We had prior experience but he always made sure we were safe and comfortable with the terrain. Offered us breaks as needed and water. The price was very reasonable and the length of 2 hours was perfect. Thank you Matthew for an amazing afternoon. Chad and Brenda

    It was a wonderful experience for a first-time Segway rider。 My tour guide was Mattew who was patient to tech me and the other lady how to be a stable starter. Well, we all five ladies formed a good tour team under his guidance. He provided the information about some historical buildings and eating places. I have been in Galveston for several times and never got deep in the neighborhood history. The fresh experience was staying under a big tree completely on segway to wait for a very brief shower passing.

  • Fun experience!

    Our guide, Matthew, was helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. He taught us how to ride and stressed safety. Our group was 7 people. My microphone didn't work much of the time, but he spoke loudly and I could hear him anyway.
