Presidio Trail Segway Tour of Tucson

This was a miserable experience for us. The woman who was in charge, with her husband, treated us as if she were a war time general, screaming at us from the back of the line if anyone did anything wrong. The practice session was so intimidating that we wanted to get off the segways then and there. The woman started her training by telling us about her health (for at least 10 minutes), which also made us want to leave immediately. We were here for fun, not to hear her life story. The ride itself was tense and uninteresting. This tour should only be for those that have experience, and we all agreed that it was a rather contrived way to make money and we all wished we had our $70 back. Riding a Segway is not something that you can simply get on and go.It takes balance, and the counterintuitive turning mechanism got most of us into trouble at one time or another. It does NOT turn like a bicycle, and for us, long time bikers, this was extremely hard to get used to. I would not recommend this to anyone.

This was a fun tour, and the owners/guides went out of their way to stress safety and provide good instruction on riding the Segway. When one woman "chickened out" at the beginning, they were completely understanding. They also provided an interesting account of Tucson history, with a couple of stops along the way. The only problem I had was a steering difficulty with my Segway, which consistently pulled to the right. This is why I'm giving it 4 stars rather than 5. But certainly recommended for anyone curious about trying a Segway, and wanting to learn a little about Tucson at the same time.

The initial instruction and continued suppervision on the tour made it a safe and fun experience. There was a bit of construction in downtown Tucson, but with the headsets it was easy to hear the guides narrative and instruction. It was very informative as well as fun.

We did our first segway tour earlier this year in Florida. We enjoyed it so much, we looked for something similar when we returned to Tucson. As luck would have it, we found Rollwithit. It was as much fun, if not more fun, and definitely more informative than our last. The segways are easy and fun to ride, the tour director has a great sense of humor and was very informative as we made our way around Tucson, seeing and hearing about many places we had never been. It was a birthday gift to me and definitely one of the better ones that I have gotten over the years. Everyone should try it, no matter how old you are.

Was scared at first but that went away very quickly. Totally enjoyed the presidio tour. Would recommend it to others. Very professional guides.

Visiting from Michigan; thought a Segway ride would be a great experience. The 2.5 hr. tour was filled with information about interesting buildings and tips on good restaurants. The guides stayed in touch with me via radio to explain what we were seeing at the moment!! Great Time!!

We enjoyed our Segway Tour. The training was fast and helpful, the tour was interesting. We hated for it to end!

Was a very nice tour.The guide was good and helpful.Would do again

My husband's daughter was visiting us from Denver. She had never been to Tucson before so I looked into some activities for us to do while she was here. I wanted to take her to downtown Tucson and see some of our historical sites downtown also. I happened to find this Segway tour while researching local activities on the internet. My husband and I have taken Segway tours in Chicago and San Diego and loved them. We had a great time on this tour. The guides were wonderful and knowledgeable. The use of headphones made the tour great because we could hear our guide without him having to yell or slow down the tour. This is a great activity which we highly recommend. My husband's daughter had such a good time that she wants to take a Segway tour in Denver when she returns!

I bought my husband the segway tour for Christmas because my brother had done one in Palm Springs and he said how fun it was. He was right. From the moment we walked in the door of the segway shop Denise and Stu eased any fear we had and treated us to a fun afternoon of segway riding and downtown Tucson exploring. Plus we learned about some history that neither one of us as natives knew. All I can say is just do it and you will have a really great time.
