Austin is a creative city providing a mixture of charm, southern hospitality and high-tech sophistication. Most people who live and or visit Austin would agree that we have a great city! Our tour concept began in the fall of 2004, three years after the invention of the Segway. We had the idea to bring the amazing, fun to ride Segway to downtown Austin for guided tours.
After completion of the Segway Authorized training in New Hampshire as well as extensive research of Austin’s history, we set up shop in Austin. These days we have 20 Segways, experienced facilitators and an impressive facility at the Holiday Inn on Lady Bird Lake. We upgraded our business model 2 years ago to better serve our guest's wants and needs! Our facilitators all have digital cameras to capture images and videos of your special occasion.
