This tour was one of the best experiences we had in Philadelphia. James, our tour guide, did an excellent job helping us feel comfortable, and he did a great job navigating us through the streets of Philadelphia. At each stop, our cheesesteaks were ready and excellent. James provided us with information regarding the sites that we traveled by and did so in a way that was enjoyable yet informational. He was very professional and family-friendly in his commentary. Within a few hours, he uploaded all of the photos of us that he took while we were on the tour. The Segways were in great share, and they were all dependable. Your visit to Philadelphia won't be complete if you don't do this tour.

This was my first Segway experience but it will be something I do everywhere I visit. Adding food stops was a huge PLUS. PHLY cheesesteaks are a must when visiting. I joined my husband for his work trip. I found this tour to do solo. The group size is a max 8 person. Our guide was Darnell. Darnell is extremely personable, knowledgeable and was always aware of keeping us safe. We had a couple in our group chat hats get behind at times, but he was on top of making sure we regrouped when necessary. I was STUFFED after our tour. I’d do this trip again for sure. Being able to cover a large area of the city by Segway was easy and gave me perspective on areas I wouldn’t have covered by foot, and that I needed to get to before I leave this bustling city. So much to see, experience and TASTE!
