We went as a family (my mom, dad, brother, his gf and myself). We are local to Philly but wanted to try a new way of seeing & learning about the city! So happy we did! We were nervous about riding the Segway but Barry made us feel really safe and we loved every minute! The cheesteaks were of course delicious too!

Excellent tour for 4 seniors. Cheesesteak samples were yummy and not filling. Guide BARRY was knowledgeable and pleasant. The stops were evenly spread apart so as not to be standing on the Segway too long. Would gladly take my grandsons on this tour as soon as they reach at least 100 pounds. Fun, Fun, activity! :

Never having ridden a Segway before I bordered on terrified/excited. Dee made us feel welcome and got us up to proficient in a few minutes and then the eating started! We went to 5 different places, most had our sandwich ready when we got there. Got to see some sights on the way. There really is a difference in those sandwiches!
