Historic Uptown Neighborhood Segway Tour of Charlotte

Overview
Buzz through Charlotte’s hopping Uptown neighborhood on this Segway tour of North Carolina’s biggest city! NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY (but participants must weigh at least 100 lbs. and can't be expecting a baby). We thoroughly and carefully train each guest BEFORE the 1.5 tour begins. It's FUN and EASY! Follow your local guide as you glide throughout the city, viewing our unique architecture, art, parks, and historic spaces. Our city has a fascinating history, and you can see it all UP CLOSE on a Segway! Choose either a 1.5- hr or 2-hour ride (the longer tour has limited availability). This is a GREAT, POPULAR tour of Uptown Charlotte, however we are often unable to accommodate guests who arrive late. PROMPT ARRIVAL IS A MUST FOR THIS TOUR. THANK YOU!!!

We just moved to NC about a year ago - and had wanted to do this for a very long time. We had a niece visit us from SD and wanted to find a way to view the city. We had a fantastic tour guide Rod - that did a great job! Learned a lot about Charlotte that we were not aware of! What a great time - only regret is that we didn't do it earlier and longer!

Our quartet of ladies enjoyed the Segway experience with Rod. He patiently instructed us and then lead us around town. He never sounded boring or tired and made us feel like we were a special group under his supervision. I will recommend this activity to anyone visiting Charlotte!

We had a girl's trip to Charlotte and thought a segway tour would be a fun way to see uptown and learn a little history. We were right! The youngest of us is 63 and the oldest turns 70 this year. The four of us had a great time! Rod was our guide and there was a family of three in our group. We had to change our date to one day earlier and there was no problem. Desk personal was accommodating and helpful. Our segways appeared to be pretty new. I wish I would have taken my own bike helmet but I wore a buff under my helmet so it was ok. I liked the stops Rod chose, the speed he went and the pictures he took with our cameras. We never felt rushed and all of us want to do it again in the next city we visit!
