Stunning tree carvings - Matthew led our Segway tour of Galveston and shared lots of the city’s history. We viewed many of the tree carvings up close and loved the beautiful but toxic oleander. Great way to cover a lot of the area without wearing yourself out walking!

Local Learned from Tour - Segway itself was easy to learn. I had a moment of panic, but our tour guide gave me easy-to-follow instructions, and I was able to get control again. The tour was fun, informative, and lovely. I am a local and learned history and saw tree carvings I didn't know and hadn't found yet. I recommend the experience and the tour. We went in the morning, so, though it was hot, it wasn't unbearable.

So fun! - We were in town for a cruise. Decided to try Segways. It was great. None of us had ever done it before. My wife and I are 50, daughters are 19 and 20. Easy to get use. Did some quick training and practice. Then off we went. Rod through beautiful old neighborhoods. Very little traffic. Lots of history and things to see. Kyle was so cool, friendly and knowledgeable. Made it to the Historic Sea Port and rode through the small downtown area. Absolutely worth it. We would do it again!

Galveston Segway - Due to a mix-up we did not do the Tree Carving Tour but rescheduled for the Sunset Tour. This was a great tour, included several tree carvings and a lot of interesting Galveston sights, mansions and lots of history. Aaron was enthusiastic, informative and safe. The Segways were easy to master even for a couple of 70+ year olds! This was a great way to see a lot of Galveston without a lot of walking. Another poster recommended taking a tour early in your visit and I agree, the history lesson added a lot to our visit. Highly recommended!
