Atlanta Segway Tour: Midtown Sightseeing
Atlanta, United States of America
Discover the highlights of Midtown Atlanta on a small-group Segway sightseeing tour, limited to eight people with an experienced guide. Learn about Midtown’s history, architecture, landmarks and recent renaissance as you see the Midtown restaurant district, concert venues like the Fox Theater, green space in Piedmont Park and Atlanta Botanical Garden, the Margaret Mitchell House, Georgia Tech and Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. Touring by Segway is fun and efficient, allowing you to cover more ground than other tours and take note of places to visit later at your leisure.
Meet your guide at the Doubletree Hotel, conveniently located in downtown Atlanta. Start with a detailed orientation to the Segway and have time to practice and get comfortable with the controls. When you’re ready, step onto the Segway and follow your guide through Midtown Atlanta.
Cruise past the tall towers of the Midtown business district followed by the stately homes of Ansley Park, with architectural styles that include Tudor, Craftsman and Italian Renaissance. Nearby, wheel through part of Piedmont Park, a large green space with miles of paved walking and biking paths, ample event space, picnic areas and playgrounds. Zip over to the Atlanta Botanical Garden, a 30-acre (12-hectare) garden with a huge collection of plants, art exhibits, conservatory, fountains and more.
Pause with your small group in front of the Margaret Mitchell House and Museum to hear more about the Atlanta journalist who lived here, where she wrote her famous novel Gone With the Wind. Just across the street, your guide points out the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, which features a free museum with exhibits about the history of money and a glimpse of automated forklifts that move piles of dollars around the bank vaults. Not far away you see the campus of a top research university: Georgia Institute of Technology.
Roll a little further to admire the ornate Moorish design of the Fox Theater, a favorite venue for live entertainment. Nearby, you find the Midtown restaurant district and learn from your guide about some of the best spots to eat and drink in the hopping neighborhood. Wind your way back to your starting point, passing Centennial Olympic Park, home of the 1996 Summer Olympics, Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola.
With the ease of the Segway, you get a fun spin around Midtown while enjoying frequent stops to take in the sights and hear about Atlanta’s history from your knowledgeable guide before returning to the original start point.
Laura did an excellent job on this tour. Blended some history with great recommendations for food and entertainment. Great way get a feel for this part of the city. If your son or daughter are considering Georgia Tech, nice way to get a feel for this area of Atlanta. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because, honestly, there is just that not much to see history-wise in mid-town Atlanta compared to other cities. The tour and company were definitely 5 starts though.

Laura was a great tour guide. In 2 hours we rode 8 miles in Atlanta-saw and learned lots! A must do Atlanta experience!

Can't fault this tour in any way. Guides were fantastic in showing everyone how to use the Segway. Then travelled around the town with very informative information about all the sites we saw. Actually took all three tours during the 10 days I was there. Recomnend it to all that travel to Atlanta.

Fantastic experience - riding through the down, across streets, weaving through pedestrians. We felt like we got into the nooks and crannies of Atlanta. How do you take a bunch of senior citizen types like us and get them all very comfortable on a segway pretty darn fast and then have them whisking all over town? Try this - and you'll find out! We're hooked - wonderful fun!

It was a good tour to take before going to the main attractions in Atlanta, just to know where things are and where to go. CK was our tour guide and he was alot of fun and energetic! I actually went to the Fox theater and saw a show after he showed and explained it to us. I am in love with the pencil building in Atlanta now that I know the story behind it. Thanks CK

Laura ensured that we had a very enjoyable tour around Atlanta. We started with about 30mins of practise, which was very important to those of us who were very nervous and had never been on a Segway - don't be nervous, Laura gave me the confidence to start the tour, even if I was not confident. We started slowly with a tour of the Olympic park both to get into the sites as well as gain confidence. We have hen set off on a long tour of midtown seeing all the sites and getting a great commentary as we went round. Three hours later we we finished with a great recommendation for a place to have a cold beer. Not often do I go home with a large smile on my face, but it's still there

A great experience. Friendly, knowledgeable guide. Excellent instruction provided for new segway riders- plenty of time to practice and a lot of attention to be sure the ride was fun and safe. A cool way to see many neighborhoods up close!
Review by: Holly V, August 2017
Lots of Fun great experience. Only wish I would have done this when I first got to Atlanta. Lots of places that they showed me to go and do.
Review by: Kim P, June 2017
Highly recommended. Steve was awesome. First he took his time to ensure everyone was comfortable on the segway before heading off. Was very considerate to let the group know when we were stopping, turning and what to watch out for. Did an amazing tour of the city with some great insight in to some of the city's history. If you have never done a segway tour before, you will love it!

My son and I had a blast!! .... even though it started raining about half way through the tour. We were all given the option of continuing on or returning to the office. We all chose to press on. We were provided rain ponchos which really helped keep our head to our knees pretty dry. We even stopped at a Starbucks to let the rain let up a bit and grab a cup of coffee. Laura was our tour guide and she made the whole experience a lot of fun. She was so friendly, told us a lot about the city and took pictures of our adventures. My son and I had never been on a Segway prior to this tour. The instructions and hands on training were great. Laura was very attentive the entire tour. I can't wait to go on another tour of the city!

It was so much fun and we saw a lot of Atlanta that we wouldn't have seen if we hadn't gone on this tour and riding the Segways was a blast

The Segway tour through Atlanta was a blast! We went by Centennial Park, the Coca-Cola word, through Virginia Tech Campus, through midtown, and through some neighborhoods with gorgeous older houses. Would highly recommend this tour to see Atlanta and have a little fun while there!

Review by: Lori K, September 2016
My boyfriend and I came to Atlanta for just one evening. We were not sure what we wanted to visit while we were in town. We decided on the Segway-Midtown tour. It was AWESOME!! We got to see everything we wanted and then some. The tour guides were friendly and they were a lot of fun. I would highly recommend this tour. Next time I visit I would take this tour again!

Review by: Lenay M, July 2016
This tour was well worth it! Dylan is a great tour guide with patience to work with those who have no experience of riding a Segway. I plan to take a Segway tour at every city I visit and hope my experience will be just as great as this one! Thanks ATL Segway Tour!

This was our second tour with our fabulous guide, Steve, and it did not disappoint. The tour was great fun, and packed with lots of interesting facts and trivia about Atlanta. I am an Atlanta native, and I learn something new every time. We will definitely go again.

Review by: Lynn A, November 2015
Can't say enough good things about this experience! Was so much fun and a great outing to plan with your friends. You see Atlanta in a whole different light Our tour guide was very informative and had some interesting facts for each of our stops. So worth the money!! I highly recommend.
Review by: Julie J, November 2015
It didn't work out for me. Couldn't find my balance. Probably didn't help that I was over-bundled for cold weather. Still, the tour guides Dwayne and Laura were understanding about my decision to not proceed with the group. My companions had a great time.
Review by: Frank M, October 2015
excellent thanks.
Review by: Roger F, September 2015
We had a great time going through the neighborhoods. Excellent guide. He didn't stop too often, which is good. We were there to ride! Got back 60 seconds before a big thunderstorm. Perfect!
Review by: Ellen F, September 2015
I had never been on a Segway before but the instruction was terrific and I got the hang of it quickly! Our guide Drew was knowledgeable and super entertaining!
Review by: william B, September 2015
great guide in Steven! The best tutorial I have ever had. We all left feeling very confident!
Review by: Gloria L, August 2015
My husband broke his collar bone by hitting a wall and falling off. However, before that we were having a grand time. Liked Sarah Lynn our guide and our group was very friendly. They are easy to learn how to ride and you can see more of the city on them. All you need to worry about is your base is wide and don't hit a wall. I still think this is great fun and would do it again.
Review by: James J, July 2015
The tour was great although my husband fell and cut his ankle really bad on the segway. There was one funky corner that had 2 curbs and a young girl pulled in front of him which caused him to flip. Not the fault of the tour guide just be careful of the people around you.
Review by: Ann M, June 2015
The best tour I ever had!!! Highly recommend it! TONS of fun!
Review by: Harold F, June 2015

Review by: Sam, June 2015
Tour was absolutely amazing. Our guide Drew did a fabulous job. Had out of town friends who go a got a close up and personal view of the city, like non-other. Would highly recommend.
Review by: Stephanie R, June 2015
The tour was awesome, we loved it! So worth it! FYI. .. they expect a gratuity. We weren't prepared and had no cash! :-/
Review by: Andrea M, June 2015

Review by: Justina G, May 2015
Had a blast. I enjoyed seeing Midtown Atlanta from a different perspective. Loved the history information and seeing some of the restaurants that a tucked away from the mains streets.
Review by: Lisa M, April 2015
A great way to see the city! My 16 year old daughter and I had a great time. You spend the first half hour watching a safety video and practicing how to ride the Segway. Then you are off! We did have a break for a drink and the bathroom. Saw some really lovely spots of Atlanta that we would not have ventured to on our own. My only negative was that I was at the last of the group and so by the time I got to the guide, he was speaking already and I missed a bit of his speech at a couple of stops. But it wasn't too big a deal.
