Enjoy spectacular views of San Francisco Bay while you glide from site to site on an eco-friendly Segway - it's the coolest ride of the 21st-century! Far easier than walking, and more unique and personalized than a coach tour, getting around San Francisco on a Segway personal transporter is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
This small-group tour is limited to 6 people, ensuring a more personal experience.
Riding a Segway is similar to riding a bike - it's intuitive but nobody is born knowing how to operate it. You'll have 35 - 45 minutes of training prior to beginning the tour so you can get familiar with the most innovative transportation device of the millennium. You will practice on the Segway until everyone feels comfortable and ready to tour San Francisco.
On an eco-friendly Segway tour you'll see more sights than you could cover on foot, and have lots of fun while you help to keep San Francisco "The Greenest City in the United States."
The San Francisco Waterfront Segway Tour is narrated and makes numerous stops for photos.
Tour highlights include:
Municipal Pier and Aquatic Park
Fisherman's Wharf and the Dungeness crab stands
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
Dungeness Crab Stands in Historic Fisherman's Wharf
Great tour! You cover a lot of ground and learn a lot about the city.

This is a must tour to do. Our guide Jessy was knowledgeable and fun. We covered a lot of ground in San Francisco. This tour gives you an opportunity to see San Francisco and then chose where you want to go visit first.
Review by: Joseph Z, August 2017
Informative and funny commentary. Instructors make sure you can really ride the Segway.
Review by: Dwight T, August 2017
Awesome fun time. TRE was a great tour guide.
Review by: varun.jain, July 2017
Horrible experience where they asked us to leave partway through the tour because the guide could not manage a large group and other participants had damaged their segways and they wanted to use ours.
Review by: Nancy M, June 2017
This was great! I booked it for my husband's birthday so he could go with his friend but I went instead. Was petrified at first, but our guide, KATY, was amazing with me. Very patient and kept me right behind her. I was extremely nervous especially since I thought this was going to be along the waterfront, but we rode right out into traffic and rode through the streets! Riding a segway wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be and by the time we finished the tour, I was a little more confident than when I started. Thanks again, KATY!!!!! and Not Your Momma!!!!

I've only activated my Viator account now! Only three and a half years later am I sharing my thoughts. This was a fantastic tour! Great for first timers like myself, took a little time getting used to but becomes second nature very quickly. Great fun!
Review by: Mel, June 2017
Great activity to do and see a bit of the area! Kyle was a top guide and made the experience a lot of fun! _br/_ Definitely recommend adding this to your list of to do's in San Francisco!
Review by: Gregory R, June 2017
Outstanding, informative and fun way to see the sites in the Warf and North Beach area without having to walk up and down the hills. Funny how we became one of the sites for the walkers. Our guide was great.
Review by: Angela W, June 2017
This was so much fun! The instructor was so helpful, friendly and funny. I would definitely do this again. I cannot recommend it enough!
Review by: Donna G, May 2017
We loved the Segway tour! It was so much fun. Devon and Raoul were our guides and did an excellent job. Devon is very knowledgeable about the city--and funny too! I would recommend this activity to everyone! We are over 65--and it was safe and easy to learn._br/_ Donna and Bud

This tour was amazing!
Review by: Victoria J, October 2016
We really enjoyed our segway tour with Captain Kyle. He was funny, engaging and full of info about SF history and landmarks. The tour goes through Fishermans Wharf and North Beach, (not the entirety of the waterfront) which was super interesting but not exactly what we expected, but we loved it!
Review by: Anniehorsley7, October 2016
Absolutely, brill! Dan our instructor and guide was excellent! Full of fun. My friend Grace was really apprehensive and very nervous at first, she loved it! Thanks to the best afternoon of our holidays! If you have not tried Segways, go for it! Best wishes Ann Horsley / UK

Excellent couple of hours. never been on a Segway before and I was a bit nervous!!! Melanie our guide was brilliant. She really put me at ease and made the trip such fun. Would thoroughly recommend
Review by: Frank S, September 2016
A real fun family outing.
Review by: Angela D, September 2016
The most fun I have ever had on 2 wheels. Our guide Kyle was great fun and a wealth of useful but quirky information throughout our morning. The training session was kept as short as possible and then we were off out on the road. My family and I all had a great time.
Review by: Montgomery I, September 2016
Segway tour would have been more pleasant if our tour guide, Katy and the lady at he concierge was not so condescending with me and my girlfriend.
Review by: Christine seng H, August 2016

Great experience! Katie was a wonderful tour guide and excellent instructor.
Review by: Michael S, July 2016
We had a wonderful time. We are both 64, and were a bit apprehensive about whether we could do it. It was not as hard as we expected. It was loads of fun, one of the highlights of our 8 day trip to San Francisco and Lake Tahoe.
Review by: Henry M, July 2016
Such good fun. Definitely the best way to see San Francisco with the bonus of getting to some areas you wouldn't normally see. Pulling out into traffic in a large group of Segways was such a blast, and the giudes were wonderful - knew their stuff and kept us safe.
Review by: Janet C, July 2016
We Absolutely loved being on the Segway!!! It was so fun riding them. Where we went on the tour honestly didn't matter all that much. Matt was fun and I would take a tour with him again. My only issue is with the earphones. The earphones kept crackling or cutting out all together depending on how much Matt moved around. This is an problem as he was giving us directions and could have warnings about safety issues. Great fun though! Wish we had one at home.
Review by: Nancy C, July 2016
We had a fabulous tour guide - Nic -she definitely made the tour interesting and fun, was nervous going in but she quickly educated us on Segway safety and etiquette. Would highly recommend this tour!!

Review by: Scott B, July 2016
Trip was great. The entire family had fun. 12 and 14 year old daughters rode with ease. Katy the tour guide was friendly, funny and an excellent instructor.
Review by: Bryan B, June 2016
Look no further than the Electric Tour Company at 757 Beach street if you and #39;re trying to find the very BEST Segway tour in SF. Chelsea and Katy made the entire experience easy, fun and packed with laughs. Katy took us to all the best spots, even bought us freshly baked focaccia bread in North Beach.
Review by: Carolyn C, June 2016
This was an awesome way to see the waterfront. TK was our guide and did an excellent job.
Review by: cpennella, June 2016
My family of 5 took this tour as it was the start of our first trip to San Francisco. Myself, my husband and our three college aged kids all really enjoyed it. We found the tour a wonderful way to see so much about the city. The Segway's were easy for all of us to use. We loved seeing so many key parts of the city and it helped us to gage where we wanted to explore next. Well worth the price and we all highly recommend it! It was a big highlight of our trip!
Review by: Margery A, June 2016
1st time on a Segway and it was so much fun! Our guides taught us how to to ride and showed us all around town-including a stop for gelato. Our guide, Nic, was fun, informative, and kept us entertained with her musical talents!
Review by: Grant S, June 2016
We had so much fun on this tour. Katy our guide was very sweet and patient in the training process would love to go on another Segway tour and of course San Francisco is a beautiful city to see!
Review by: lindabackman61, May 2016
If you are looking for a fun way to see some sights I highly recommend taking this Segway tour. No one in our group had ever been on a Segway before, never been within a few feet of one, and now we are seriously considering buying some! They are so easy and fun to ride! looking forward to the advanced tour in July!!
Review by: Grant S, May 2016
Our tour guide The Captain was amazing. He knew so many fascinating stories about the city, I would have been happy paying the ticket price just to hear his dialogue. After the tour he answered every one questions about dining, drinking and further touring._br/_ Our first time my wife and I did a segway tour....it was easy and tons of fun. People were waving at us from the sidewalk...We felt like movie stars.
Review by: Sandra T, April 2016
Such an amazing fun experience whilst learning so much about San Francisco
Review by: MICHAEL B, November 2015
I have been on several SEGWAY tours. This one was the best. Our tour guide was great. The tour was so great the first day, we did the experience tour the next day.
Review by: David G, November 2015
Katy was a great guide - my wife and I have done Segway tours in various cities around the world and this was among the best. The instruction was also the most comprehensive we have had - no-one should be concerned about doing it for the first time with this Company.
Review by: Sameer P, October 2015
Had a great experience with TJ the guide. The Segway's were easy to use and safe and the commentary was great. I would definitely recommend it to everyone who visits SF
