We had three couples who went on this tour together. It was so much fun. Our tour guide took great care in training us each individually before we started. By 10 minutes into the tour we were all very comfortable and felt proficient. No one crashed and there were no injuries. It was a perfect evening. The tour lasted over 2 hours and clearly could not have been better! Our guide was super! Highly recommend.

This was a blast! We got to town, contacted Skip, and we're off in 20 minutes for a very informative, fun and self paced trip. We went everywhere we wanted to go; OKC Federal Building, Murad Gardens, rode along the canal. Worth every penny, a the perfect social distance day trip. Can't wait to come back and book another tour.

Hubby and I I took the 2 hour tour. It was one of the highlights of our weekend. The tour guide was very thorough with his instructions, very patient to stop when wanted to take photos, and very informative about Brick town, Oklahoma City and its history. He was enthusiastic and encouraged us to be as well. I would highly recommend this.

I went on a Segway tour of OKC with this company back in 2012 with three out of state visiting relatives and it was excellent. The tour guide was knowledgeable, fun, and had a good grasp of OK and OKC history. That wonderful experience is why I booked with this company again for other visiting relatives from out of state. I'm not so sure I'll book with them again though. Our tour, as confirmed by the owner on the phone, was for 10:30 am. We arrived at 10:15 and a group of three was already getting instruction by the owner on how to use the Segways. When I approached the owner for our tour, he said that when we didn't show up at 10 am he decided to book the group of three. I was taken aback, given that not only had he confirmed the 10:30 time, but also because he did not call me when we weren't there at 10 to see if there was a conflict. Nevertheless, our party, now eight in total (I was disappointed that we didn't get our own tour), all got instruction on the use of the Segway. The instructions were given rather bluntly, and at times a little on the rude side. The two hour tour went through the areas that I remember from my tour six years ago, but in reverse order (which was fine). Downtown OKC was hopping that day as there were a number of graduations going on. There were also a number of detours due to construction (which, if the owner had scouted them out prior to the tour we could have avoided). The pro's of the tour: The Segways are fun to use. Fortunately, they are pretty intuitive in terms of how to start/stop/turn. Passersby along the way enjoyed watching us, which was fun since virtually all said something nice like, That looks like fun! or I didn't know OKC had Segway tours! We saw many great places in OKC, including the OKC Memorial, the Land Run Monument, Chickasaw Ballpark, and others. A bottle of water is provided, along with a helmet. The owner took pictures of us at various places along on the tour (we gathered as a group on our Segways and he got off his and took the pics). The con's of the tour: We stopped, i.e. got off the Segways, at just two places: The OKC Memorial, and an area just beyond the Land Run Monument. One or two more stops to get off the Segways would be better for our feet and to stretch a bit. A good stop would be at the actual Land Run Monument (as we did on my 2012 tour) to take our own pictures, etc. But I'd say the biggest con was the owner's narrative during the tour. Two of us are history buffs, and sorry to say that the owner was a bit off on a number of facts. He also glossed over some notable buildings and landmarks, and missed some of them all together and then called out, Oh, we just passed... It was a shame because the tour ain't cheap, and I felt that this tour was not nearly as good as my previous one. Suggestions to the owner: In addition to some fine-tuning of the delivery of Segway instructions and the tour narrative, please provide a couple of larger helmets than what is currently available. Also, on hot days, the option of an earlier start time would be appreciated.
