Segway Galveston Tree Carvings Tour

Overview

Explore the masterpieces of Galveston's sculpture artists that have breathed a second life into something Mother Nature attempted to destroy. Take yourself or the family around to enjoy all the great tree sculptures. It's a great tour to learn about the efforts of local citizens and the Galveston Island Tree Conservancy, to restore many of the dead trees into sculptures that now decorate the island.

This was our first time on a segway-wasn't hard to learn how to maneuver & made the trip fun! Our guide was spectacular-shared stories, history about Galveston, saw the tree carvings, old Galveston houses and the stories behind them, pier. Highly recommend this tour!

My friend and I booked this tour with Viator, we were in Galveston to go on a cruise and we came in a day early. We are both in our 60's and had never ridden a Segway before. There were two others in the tour, a father and teenage son, and our guide, Aaron. We were able to get acclimated to the Seg pretty quickly. I will warn you that your legs get really sore pretty quickly- I had not expected that! My feet were cramping terribly. However, Aaron had breaks scheduled in, which really helped. Aaron knows his stuff- learned so much about Galveston history, art, etc. I particularly enjoyed his story about the 3 use fountains (horses, dogs, people) and how helpful those were to the city at the time. And the gorgeous historic houses. I never knew Galveston had such a history or that it had been such a center of wealth at one time. Also learned a lot about the hurricanes, especially the one from 1900 (or 1901)? We covered a lot of ground - no way this could have been done on a walking tour. I would absolutely recommend and would do another SegCity tour if I am back in Galveston.
