| What a fun way to experience North Carolina's capital city! I fell in love with my Segway as soon as I stepped up onto it. The owners and tour guide helped us all feel comfortable on the machines, and the tour was interesting even for us Raleigh natives. One of the Triangle's most unique experiences. I can't wait to go again! |

| Segway's are lots of fun. We took this tour after enjoying a Segway tour in Minneapolis on vacation and mostly I just wanted to take another ride and surprise my spouse with something novel as a birthday treat.
However, even though we mostly visited landmarks in Raleigh we had seen before, the entertaining tour guide made it fun and interesting. The wireless headset provided was a great idea too...the guide could talk while we were riding rather than waiting for us to gather round (this helped with safety too..."watch out for this bump").
Highly recommended for new visitors to town, and long time residents who want a different perspective (on wheels a foot off the ground!). Do bear in mind the higher cost compared to a walking tour, but you get to see much more of the town because the Segway lets you cover the distance. |

| The Segway tour people make everything simple and interesting. Step on and go! The draw was getting to ride the Segway but the tour was the gem. Hoping they put together more tour ideas because we are ready to go again. We are telling everyone about this and that it is a must do! |

| While sitting in a downtown Raleigh bar, contemplating her dreaded 40th birthday, my wife casually mentioned that she might want to go on the "Capital City Glide" as a birthday activity.
I took the hint, emailed the gang and we promptly sold out the tour. Everyone was excited to give the curious machines a try. Nobody was dissapointed. We only wish there was room for more than 10 people on the tour.
Fun. Unusual. Informative.
Thanks y'all! |

| I have to say when my friend wanted to do this for her birthday, I was skeptical. I have lived in Raleigh for 25 years, so I wasn't really interested in the tour, but I decided that riding a Segway might be a lot of fun. Well, it turns out that the tour itself was as much fun as riding the Segway. I learned a lot of interesting things about Raleigh's history that I've never heard before. This would be the perfect thing for out-of-town guests - I would do it again in a heartbeat! |

| Want to levitate through history? Feel the breeze in your hair as you sail past beautiful homes? Put your weight to work for you? Take a ride on the Segway.
A Triangle Segway Tour is easy to schedule, easy to learn and easy to enjoy. Located near plenty of parking and adjacent to good restaurants, shops and parks, TriSegway is a "must do" experience in Raleigh.
Owners Todd and Sandy are cheerful, knowledgeable and attentive to details. The PTs (Personal Transporters), aka Segways, are comfortable, responsive, safe and exhilarating. Bottled water is provided to keep riders hydrated - very important. The helmets were comfortable and easy to adjust.
Raleigh city sidewalks and streets are amazingly welcoming to the novice Segway rider. Wide sidewalks with curious, yet attentive, walkers are easy to navigate. Neighborhood streets with few cars are comfortable to travel.
The leader is an enthusiastic raconteur of local history and knowledgeable about current development projects. The non-intrusive audio headset allowed each individual to hear the Raleigh stories and directions - especially good for the sometimes-hard-of-hearing.
The guide's highlights were interspersed with well-timed, gentle safety pointers along the way. "Be mindful of the low hanging branch ahead." "Approach this corner at a gentle angle." "Slow down for a tiny rough spot here." "We'll wait here 'til the light changes so we can all go through the intersection together."
It was also good to be able to get off the Segway to sit and stretch at the two rest stops. My husband and I went on the 2-hour tour. We totally enjoyed the downtown and cultural aspects of our safe journey. The tour was well-paced; neither rushed nor sluggish.
Our smiling group returned with renewed confidence to the place of beginning. Nearby shops and restaurants also got our business.
The only suggestion I would offer is to be sure the Mordecai Park restrooms are open and the drinking fountain working.
Thank you for offering such a terrific service in Raleigh. Triangle Segway is a valuable and FUN destination. Well done! |

| My niece was visiting and I wanted to show her downtown Raleigh. Being new to area myself, I thought a tour would benefit both of us. Needless to say, touring Raleigh via a Segway was the ultimate experience.... Fun, easy to learn and very educational are a few ways to describe our tour... I definitely will recommend this tour to family and friends.... |

| Since introduction we have always wanted to ride a Segway, and Triangle Segway gave us the perfect opportunity to try a Segway AND see the city too.
Prior to taking us out on the street Todd and the team made sure everyone learned how to ride a Segway and knew the safety rules. It really is easy. But, if you should have any problems while on the tour once again Todd and the team are always watching out for you, and are on the spot to help.
The tour itself was very well planned and executed. I learned more history of Raleigh on the tour than I expected. The sights were interesting and the city is beautiful. Each rider has an earpiece with radio so it is very easy to hear the tour guide at all times. It also keeps things moving since we did not have to stop and cluster together to hear the guide. Rest stops were also included and well planned.
I plan to do this tour again. It was that much fun! Highly, Highly recommended. |

| It was great to get a chance to learn how to ride the Segway and to play around on them for a generous 2 1/2 hours. The tour we went on was informative and interesting. Definitely something worth doing at least once! |

| My wife and I loved the tour immensely; my wife for the history and me for the Segway ride. We learned so much about the town which we just recently moved to and ended up buying 2 Segways. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn more about Raleigh, looking to impress friends/family in town, or those who want to try this wonderful new technology before making the investment. Guys, if you want one, take your wife on this tour and she’ll probably let you have one. She may even want one herself! |
