Excellent and so much fun we do this once or twice a year and have been doing this for 10-15 years. This time it was a one and a half hour night time tour. We were the only two with our guide and had a great time. All the guides have been great and it is such a pleasurable experience. Something fun for all ages!

Geof was an incredible tour guide and made the experience so worth it. I had no idea how rich with history Tampa, FL was and only found out thru this tour of the downtown area with a knowledgeable guide. Segways are a lot of fun and you’ll be sure to have eyes on you from everyone you pass. We cruised thru the Tampa University and the river walk. My teens are sure to remember this experience.

Had a blast of a time. Bryan the guide was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area, made sure everyone was comfortable on the machines and keeping safe. The segways themselves once you spend a couple minutes getting the feel of it then you’re good to go. My first time on a Segway and loved it, they can fair move !I’m not a super small person and felt comfortable on it and it handled fine.Bryan made the experience interesting and fun, so much so that I had pre done the tip when booking but gave extra at the end as well, that’s how much I enjoyed it and how much Bryan made it enjoyable.As there is a minimum of 2 people required for the tour and I was a single rider, looking out a distance to book didn’t work so I ended up booking the evening before which already had others booked in meant I could book 1 space rather than 2, weekends I guess might help with having more people interested.Stop thinking just book it.

We got lucky, it was just our group of four hosted by Brian. The Riverwalk is perfect for riding along and we got to see a few spots we hadn't visited before...planning to go back to Armature Works next time we're in town.Brian gave us a good overview of how to handle the Segways which two of us had used prior and the other two were brand new to. He had good area recommendations and showed us a super cool info board that takes pictures that you can text right to your phone. Offered to take other shots for us in several places as well as anytime we asked.Definitely get out and do this soon as we learned Segways are no longer being produced and may well become extinct in the next few years!
