| I wanted to try riding a Segway, and found this tour opportunity through a link within the Segway website. This tour of eastern Raleigh provides an opportunity to learn how to operate the Segway. You then get to spend two hours riding around Raleigh on a guided tour, which allow you to experience how the Segway operates on different terain and around various obstacles.
The tour operators provided radio receivers which allowed each of us to hear the tour leader as he narrated the tour and directed us. The tour guide led us and his assistant followed at the back of our line, so they could look our for hazards, traffic, and for us.
I was surprised at how much that we saw were areas that I have never seen before, even though I have been in the area many times. I feel that the tour is an excellent value. |

| I would highly recommend this tour (or any of the others by Triangle Segway for that matter) to anyone who would like to experience riding a Segway and learn more about Raleigh. This was our second time on a Segway (we rode one at Disney World last year) so the short in-store training session was a breeze for us. Our tour guide, Todd, led our group all around Raleigh and he did an excellent job of not only telling us about Raleigh's history but in watching out for our safety and comfort as well. The Segways we rode were in excellent condition and the wireless receivers we wore were a nice touch that enabled us to hear every word he said despite the street noise or distance from him. We learned a lot of new things about Raleigh's past and present despite having lived here for over 40 years. Riding a Segway is a fun experience. Riding one with Triangle Segway is even better. We'll be back... |

| If you have never been on a Segway, this is the tour for you. You get lessons before you go out and the entire route is very easy to manage. Very safe!
The tour guide was very well versed in the history of Raleigh and had great stories about all the sights we visited. Wonderful job!! Loved the Segway experience. |

| Our group of 10 thoroughly enjoyed both the Segway experience and the historical information imparted. The staff was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. After the tour everyone in our group commented on how much fun they had and how much they learned about Raleigh. We definitely plan to do this again! |

| Toured Raleigh and heard information that was interesting. Narration was factual, and unique. Through the narration and tour, one gained greater respect for the city that I live in and appreciation for the sites and history. Safety was key. Another person participated in the tour to ensure safety. Learning to ride a segway was an experience. You got to see the city first hand from the sidewalk in our open air vehicle. Recommended to others in good health and physical condition. |

| Wanted to do something special for my son's 21st Bday and our mini family reunion. A friend had done this tour with his family and recommended it highly.
I don't know what to rate higher .. the Segway ride or the tour. Saw parts of Raleigh we had never seen or knew of .. and have been here 13 years. Our guide was great and amazingly knowledgeable. The Segway was great for the younger folks ... and great my wife and I. She was bragging about it days later with her work buddies.
Highly recommend. Not something for every weekend, but a great idea for a special outing. |

| Combine a sunny Sunday morning, a novel form of transport, 2 knowledgeable guides, and a city with history and you have a recipe for a great time.
We soon (after patient tuition) began to relax and enjoy the Segways and to concentrate on seeing and learning about Raleigh.
Our guides knew so much, and were genuinely interested in helping us develop an interest in Raleigh's rich history.
I thoroughly recommend the company and the tour- and if you can stand and walk you can "drive" the Segways. We'll be back with our daughters. |

| What a great experience. The segway itself provided a fun, interactive way to get a guided tour of Raleigh. The guides were knowledgeable, fun, the vistas great and the segway was a blast! We all enjoyed the experience immensely. |
