What is a Segway?
It is a self balancing, personal transportation device designed to go anywhere people do. Easy to use and operate, the two-wheeled Segway sports high- tech gyroscopes that automatically respond to your body's movements, "sensing" when it should speed up and slow down. You stand on a small platform between left and right wheels as you hold onto handlebars at a comfortable waist height. The Segway handles balancing for you so that you're always upright as you glide through any environment.
Is there a weight limit for the tour?
There is a maximum weight limit of 265 pounds.
What happens if it rains?
This experience will run in rain or shine. If it rains, ponchos will be provided. However, tours do not operate in lightning and extreme weather conditions so please be sure to contact your experience provider in these situations.
Do we go inside the museums and monuments?
You will not enter the museums and monuments since the Segways are so much fun! They will give you a great orientation, and you'll know exactly where you want to go after the tour.
Are the Segways safe for children or people with disabilities?
Although riding a Segway is relatively easy to do and learn, it is required that all riders be at least 12 years of age. Each of tour begins with a 30-minute orientation session to practice on the Segways until everyone feels comfortable. All guests must be able to easily and quickly step on and off the Segway without any assistance, which requires physical abilities similar to climbing and descending stairs without assistance or use of handrails.
