We live near the beach and we had spent the weekend down south at Laguna. We love the city and we wanted a city experience and I found this Segway tour. We love electric scooters and thought it would be similar but it was different enough to make it a new experience and zipping through the Wilshire area was awesome! Micah was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable and friendly! We enjoyed his company and he did a great job keeping us safe! We were celebrating our 19 year anniversary. This turned out to be a perfect activity!

This was our second Segway tour. Having been about 2 years since the last one, I and one daughter were a little tentative but we re-learned the hang of it quickly. Micah was great, answered all of our questions, gave interesting info about various sites and is a stellar picture-taker. Seriously, I expected a hokey pic in front of the lamp posts, and his pic was so perfectly framed. I don't do Instagram but it was Instagram-worthy. I think this particular tour was probably 4 stars. The problem is the trek to La Brea just isn't THAT interesting and we didn't get to go inside the visitor center. La Brea is big and it was nice to zip through the pathways on Segways but there isn't much to see or do from the outside. I like Micah and the Segways were great so I'd just recommend a different destination.
