Four of us participated in the Evening tour of Chinatown and beyond. The lesson beforehand was much needed, and we felt very comfortable to hit the road with Carey (Hairy Carey as we called him). We saw so much of the city and giggled as we segway'ed through the streets much to amusement of those stuck on foot. Would definitely... More

Surprisingly, I felt much safer going down hills like Lombard Street on a segway than I do in a vehicle. Uphill travels were even easier. The units regenerate when going downhill and there was no battery drain indicated after 2.5 hours of travel. The easier tours of the city overlap with this tour, so if you're eligible for this tour,... More

We previously rode segways in Ohio and in Hershey, Pa. After taking this tour on May 15th with Mark, those other tours can't begin to measure up! Mark spent a minute making sure we could operate the segway and we were then off to tour San Francisco. We rode up and down increasingly steeper hills and saw several attractions. I... More

We booked our tour for Wednesday, 15 May 2013 at 10.30am. From the time that we booked, our experience was great and we were made to feel even more excited about the tour we had picked being the advanced tour of Lombard Street. We arrived early on the morning of our tour and were greeted by a friendly young lady.... More

The Segway tour was a great way to see the city. The info shared was interesting and the view from the Segways was awesome. Marie, the guide, was terrific - very fun and knowledgeable.

We are both 70 years old and we a bit anxious about whether we could do it. Not to fear it is easy. The tour guide Mark was terrific. Recommend this to anyone.Well worth the $70. I would do it again and take one of the other tours we did the waterfront tour.

My daughter and I spent Mother's Day touring Golden Gate Park on Segways. it was a blast! Joey was a great guide, sharing history and humor as we toured the park. There was a small learning curve to understand and drive a Segway. The staff did a great job making us feel comfortable and confident. I would do it again... More

It is a lot of fun and you get to see parts of Golden Gate Park that you would never see otherwise. Segways are a blast and the training prior to the ride is important. While our group found the Segways very easy to ride, one person in our tour crashed and hurt herself and was unable to continue due... More

We were beginners and finished accomplished Segway riders thanks to the excellent training and encouragement from our guide Joey. Beautiful park and a great way to see it. Joey made it fun, informative, and provided helpful tips for other things to do in the park and for dinner.

I've been with the Electric Tour Co for two separate tours now and on both occasions, it was superb. The advanced hills tour is a great trek around the area. The highlight was going down the twisty part of Lombard Street; something that can't be done on foot and is more immersive than going in a car. Our tour guide,... More
