We LOVED our Segway tour. Wayne, our guide, was very professional and thorough in his training yet a lot of fun. He would stop at picturesque spots and use our phone for pictures. My husband and I had taken a city Segway tour before but our main concern was dodging cars. This tour, solely on desert trails, was so much more fun. We all felt very safe and my father, who's 82 years old, had the best time of all and had no trouble mastering his Segway. I encourage anyone to take this tour and Groupon has a great discount.

You are correct and made a good choice for your tour. No cars or other distractions to get you. Glad your team enjoyed it and I bet Cowboy Wayne did tooooooooooo!

Our off-road Segway tour in the Sonoran Desert (through the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Reservation) was a highlight of our trip to Scottsdale for our second anniversary. Cowboy Wayne adjusted his schedule to work with ours, and was a knowledgeable, personable, and funny tour guide. After a quick training session for us Segway novices we had a 2 hour tour with photo stops and a short hike--where we saw wild horses! From Cowboy Wayne we learned a lot about the history and culture of the local Native Americans and about the plants and animals of the land. We hope to return with our teenagers one day soon. There are many choices for tours out here, but we suggest you do this one!

So much fun taking an off-road Segway tour through an Indian reservation. Follow your guide, stay on the trail, and look for the interesting sights. Stop at the giant Segaro cacti for a photo op. Quiet, peaceful, tranquil. Respect and learn the history of the Indians. Definitely a must-do for the adventurous!
