...was the first thing out of our kids' mouths when we finished our awesome Cheesesteak Segway Tour with Barry. This is a great time, and a great way to see several Philadelphia neighborhoods in a short period of time. Make sure you ask for Barry, he is a great tour guide - very personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and always keeping the safety of the group as his top priority. On this tour you get Segway through Old City, Society Hill, South Philly, and Queen Village. In addition to sampling incredible cheesesteaks at five different locations, the tour also gives you a chance to see historic districts and public artwork. There are a few things that are clearly worth the money spent, and this experience makes the list.

My teenage son and I did this tour on Friday. I always wanted to do a Segway tour and he loves cheesesteaks so we thought it would be the perfect afternoon activity for us. First, the location is easy to find. Before your tour you get training to become comfortable on the Segway. We were assigned DeShaun ( or DeShawn sorry if I am spelling it incorrectly) as our tour guide and he was great! I was a bit nervous but he made me feel confident and that I can trust him. He took us through Chinatown, the Italian neighborhood, South Street etc to 5 delicious cheesesteak spots! My son and I received a full cheesesteak to share at each location and it was more than enough. Each steak was delicious! After our food stops , we took the Segways along Penn’s Landing. Our tour guide took so many pictures for us, was gracious, fun and we had a blast. We recommend this tour!
