Our Guests have a blast
The most fun part of our week-long vacation. It was so much fun! I would do it again in a heartbeat.
An amazing tour at an outstanding price! A great experience with excellent training and 1st Class tour guides.
This tour is an absolute must when visiting San Francisco! We told everyone how much fun it was and definitely would do it again.
If you are looking for something unique on your SF vacation, I highly recommend the Segway tour.
A city as unique as San Francisco demands a one-of-a-kind way to tour it. And the Segway is the answer!
After a 45 minute training on how to safely operate the Segway, you'll explore the San Francisco waterfront with a fully narrated tour. Tours are limited to nine riders and ages 12 and up are welcome. All tours start on time, so please arrive 15 minutes early.
Specific Sights:
Your narrated tour will feature spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge while you visit:
* Municipal Pier and Aquatic Park.
* Fisherman's Wharf and its picturesque fishing harbors.
* Cable Car turnaround.
Ghirardelli Square home of delicious chocolate!
*National Maritime Museum and the historic sailing ships at Hyde Street Pier Spectacular views of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge.
*Fish Alley, Fisherman's Chapel, WWII Liberty Ship and Submarine Pampanito
*Visit behind the scenes where the fishing industry, fleet and seafood processing are located.
*See the Dungeness Crab Stands in Historic Fisherman's Wharf.

Alternate "Run for the Palace" Tour Route:
*On alternate days we will use a different route: The "Run for the Palace Route " is a journey Westward from the Wharf area towards the Golden Gate Bridge. The start of the route is the same as the "Waterfront Tour". The "Run for the Palace" route goes through the Marina District, past the Yacht Harbors, along the Marina Green and on to the Palace of Fine Arts.
We do not have a schedule for the days we will run the Waterfront vs the Run for the Palace routes.
Every tour makes numerous stops for photos.
Riding a Segway is similar to riding a bike-it's intuitive but nobody is born knowing how to operate it. That's why we offer fun training so you can get familiar with the most innovative transportation device of the new millennium!
