A Segway tour in San Francisco gives you the ease of exploring the city on wheels while still enjoying being outside in the open air. Cover more ground than walking but won’t be trapped inside a tour bus, and the Segway is easy to use, which you’ll discover during a practice session with your guide.

When you’re comfortable on your Segway, your waterfront tour starts as you follow your guide past Fisherman’s Wharf and the city’s many sights along San Francisco Bay. Make plenty of stops to take photos and listen to commentary from your guide.

See attractions like Aquatic Park, the Dungeness crab stands, the turnaround for the city’s iconic cable cars, Ghirardelli Square, the National Maritime Museum and historical ships docked at Hyde Street Pier, and the USS Pampanito submarine. Pause to take in views of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge, and learn about the city’s fishing industry and seafood processing.

After this introduction to one of San Francisco’s most popular districts, your Segway tour ends back at the starting point.

Outstanding Segway Tour

The tour was fabulous! Jack, our guide, made sure we knew how to ride the Segways and where we were going. He was very informative and entertaining and he told us so much about the history of San Francisco.

Great afternoon for adults and teenagers
Simon_H

A fantastic couple of hours whizzing round the Bay Area - as two adults and two teenagers we all enjoyed the experience. Adam our guide was great, full of interesting facts, passionate and (rightly) proud of his city, and making us laugh the whole way. The segways were easy to drive and we all felt comfortable mixing in amongst traffic and pedestrians. Would really recommend this. Nice touch that the guide took photos of us on the way round at the different landmarks so that we could just concentrate on the views.

We have never ridden segways and were a little concerned. Jack was a fantastic coach and tour guide! He put us at ease and taught us how to confidently ride the segway. His sense of humor, knowledge of the area and guiduing us through traffic without any stress made him my favorite guide of all time! The headquarters of the excursion is an amazing alley way full of colorful murals and umbrellas. Great photo opps! Talented artists put a lot of time into making this area special. It was fun and so much more interesting to see San Francisco from a segway rather than a bus. The weather was great and we were able to see much more than I expected. Bring a jacket! It can get pretty breezy zipping around the city. Ten out of ten! Highly recommended.

We had never used a Segway before and we were apprehensive. However, Adam made it so easy for us with his training and sense of humor! We embarked on a fun-filled adventure on the streets of San Francisco near Fisherman’s Wharf, COIT tower , Telegraph Hill, North beach.. We returned safely and full of great memories of a beautiful city. We will do it again!

We did this on the first day in San Francisco. It was a fun way to get around. We had an amazing tour guide called Jack who was fun, friendly and really knowledgeable. He had us doing synchronised segwaying much to the amusement of us and the general public. The location to collect the Segway was really cool with lots of street art to take photos with. Great way to start our Honeymoon

Scary on the hills but very well led
Laura_D

Very well organised and led. They did good checks on riding skills before going which is good as it’s a bit nerve wracking on San Franciscan hills. We had sensible stop points to stretch legs and see some great views. Really enjoyed it

how i learned the emergency "booty" stop and lived to tell about it
James_C
, Mar 2022
The WHOLE experience was good...even the training. But the guide, TK the Destroyer, was great. He kept us entertained, he bailed us out when made mistakes, he was great. I scared the Sh** out of him at the end of the ride. The segway got away from me (operator error?) but he bailed me out. I'd even do that again, training and all.

Great way to tour around SF is with a Segway! We didn’t have to deal with parking and can easily maneuver through a crowd without having to worry about our “bubble” space! Tour guide, Sam, was informative and funny which made the tour even more interesting! Owner, Brian, was just as excited as we were for our tour. All in all, this place is filled with friendly people who took the time to get to know the riders and made our tour feel save and even more connected. It wasn’t just a sale for a tour, it was an opportunity to experience SF with a Segway!

It’s really 1.5 hr tour
Andy_M
, Aug 2021
Really like the guides. Nice and cheery trip altogether. 1 hr training is overkill; even if you’re first timer on Segway, you do not need 1 hr intro. That was my only pet peeve - the wait and excessive intro (waisted time in my opinion). The rest was really pleasant.
