Seller: TriSegway
(Triangle Segway)
Seller Description:
Our guided Segway tours will get you up close and personal to Raleigh’s points of interest. There’s nothing like sightseeing on a Segway, and unlike a walking tour, you’ll cover much more ground as you effortlessly “glide” from place to place.
You'll be riding state-of-the-art Segway i2s featuring LeanSteer technology: shift your weight forward, backward, lean the handlebars left or right, and the Segway intuitively moves in the direction you want to go.
Triangle Segway is the only authorized Segway dealer and Segway tour operator in the Triangle area. Our tours have been featured in Raleigh’s News & Observer, WRAL TV, NBC-17 and News 14.

Activity Description
Join us for a sightseeing adventure of Downtown Raleigh’s historic neighborhoods and landmarks.
During our fully narrated Segway tour, you'll see:
- Fayetteville Street: This "Main Street" of downtown Raleigh is the centerpiece of a multibillion-dollar revitalization.
- North Carolina State Capitol: The 19th-century beauty is steeped in history and has been restored to its 1840 -1865 appearance.
- Governor's Mansion: Built in 1891, the stately Queen-Anne style home was built with convict labor and serves as the official residence of North Carolina's governor.
- Oakwood Historic District: The 19th-century neighborhood was Raleigh's first true "suburb" and is filled with lovely period homes.
- Oakwood Cemetery: Founded in 1869, it's the final resting place of nearly 1,500 Confederate soldiers; the House of Memory pays tribute to North Carolinians who've served our country in times of conflict.
- Mordecai Historic Park: Featuring Mordecai House (c. 1785/1826), this significant former plantation offers a glimpse into early life in Raleigh.
- Moore Square: One of the original four "park" squares of the City plan, the park is now used for many city celebrations.
- Historic City Market: Founded in 1914, it replaced the Raleigh market traditionally held on Fayetteville Street; making it Raleigh's first "shopping center."
