Downtown Austin Texas Tours

Couple posing for a picture in front of the State Capital of Texas.

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, we set up shop in Austin. These days we have 20 Segways, experienced facilitators and an impressive facility at an affordable downtown Austin hotel. We upgraded our business model to better serve our guest’s needs & desires! We believe you deserve the focus! Our facilitators all have digital cameras to capture images and videos of your special occasion. Our constant focus is to improve procedures and provide the most enjoyable occasion for every group big or small!
