30-Minute Distillery District Segway Tour in Toronto
Toronto, Canada
Discover one of Toronto's most historical and trendy areas by one of the coolest modes of transportation -- a Segway! Take a 30-minute guided tour of the Distillery Historic District and explore its revived Victorian-era industrial buildings and modern sculptures, boutique shops and cafés. Your professional, knowledgeable guide will share interesting facts and stories about this neighborhood as you cruise around the area in style. Your tour concludes with a photo opportunity and smiles extending for days.
Discover one of the most distinctive neighborhoods in Toronto on this 30-minute tour by Segway! Step back into the 1800s as you tour Toronto's Distillery Historic District with your knowledgeable guide.
Your tour will begin with a brief training and practice on the Segway. Traveling on a Segway is a totally unique experience and most riders find them easy to use and lots of fun! Once you feel comfortable on the Segway, your guide will take you through the streets and brick-lined alleyways of the Distillery Historic District.
Ten years ago, this area was derelict with abandoned industrial-era buildings. Today, this revitalized area still has its classic historic charm, but also boasts large modern sculptures, including one from the famous Burning Man Festival, as well as trendy boutiques, pubs and cafés. This is a pedestrian-only area, so you will not have to compete with cars as you tour the eclectic sites. Along the way, hear interesting historical facts and stories about the area from your knowledgeable guide.
Josh was the greatest tour guide! I would recommend this tour in the distillery district, so beautiful and such fun!!!!

Awesome, me and my 14 year old son loved this segway tour. First time for both on a Segway, very easy to learn and fun to ride. Streets were crowded but no problems maneuvering. Tour guide Joseph? was great. We wish we would have done the 60 minute tour. This area was very cool with lots of shops and restaurants. Would do again.

Great Tour. I really recommend it._br/_ The crew were very nice and very helpful. They teach you almost on a personal level to use the segway which is very easy to use._br/_ And it is great to do with kids since there are almost no roads on the Distillery District._br/_ Very much recommended

We had a fabulous time! The tour guides were very knowledgeable and made you feel comfortable on the Segway. We would highly recommend this trip to all. Our faces were hurting from laughing so much. Definitely a highlight of our Toronto trip. Then we easily walked to the St. Lawrence Market.

A fun way to learn about the history of the distillery district in Toronto. After a lesson on how to handle the segway it can be rather tricky!! we started a small group tour. The guides were very knowledgeable and helped keep us together. The tour lasted about 1/2 to 3/4 hour. My family all agreed it was a really enjoyable experience.

Guide was amazing. Tour was short, didn't go very far on the Segways for the price.

Great people - more tour talk than Segway but pretty cool. The guys there are very welcoming and thoughtful. We had a great time!

Review by: Kenneth C, March 2015
Much fun! The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was a little confining and I would have enjoyed more distance on the machine, but our tour guide's presentation almost made up for that.

Had a ball learning to ride the Segway. Very thoughtful and informative tour. Was highlight of our trip to Toronto....We are 66 and 67 years old and was still able to ride...never too old!

Love it, maybe it should last a little more, but it was a fantastic experience.
Review by: Karen M, August 2014
I would have liked a little more time zooming around on the segway lots of fun tour guys were nice
Review by: Jennifer H, July 2014
Above and beyond my expectations. We arrived early so they started our tour early because they were worried about rain. I have heard about the distillery district but I had no idea what to expect ... it really is worth seeing. Our tour guide provided lots of fun facts as well as some great information about the area._br/_
I was terrified on the Segway at first but once I figured it out I relaxed. They give a one-on-one orientation/training session before they begin the tour. My 15 year old son and his friend had no problems at all. I had a smile on my face from beginning to end.
Review by: Maria W, June 2014
It was very easy to maneuver the Segway. My guide adapted his highlights to my interest in architecture. I will definitely do this again.
Review by: jcgormo, September 2013
I loved this tour!!!!! Literally made me want a Segway! My mum was scared to get on one and I thought she would be terrible on it. But they are such simple yet cool things to ride so she absolutely fine._br/_
You get to ride about a lot on this tour. You don't just crawl around with a guide and stop every 10 seconds which I was happy about._br/_
He distillery district itself is gorgeous!!!! Probably wouldn't have headed there if it wasn't for this tour as it's.not really walkable from many of he other toronto sights. But it was probably my favourite area of toronto. Lots of unique old building, boutiques and homemade bakery's. _br/_
Plan to spend the rest of the afternoon if you do this tour. _br/_
Although don't go eat in the brewery restaurant and sit inside-the beer production machines inside made it STINK and I literally felt sick by the time I finished my meal. _br/_
Gorgeous part of town and the Segways were such a cool thing to tell people we did _br/_
Our tour guide (blonde lady -sorry forgot her name!) was really sweet and down to earth. Guys in the office were really friendly too, and considering we were the only people on the actual tour, they made us feel very welcome. _br/_
Def recommend

The Segway ride was cool and the history of the area was very interesting.
Review by: Andrew P, July 2013
A++ experience! Riding on a Segway was on my husband's bucket list so I surprised him with this tour as part of our 15th anniversary trip to Toronto. Not only was my husband surprised, but our tour guide was perfect for the experience. He had a fun-loving personality. The historical presentation was very informative. What a perfect experience! I would definitely do this tour again when we're in Toronto. ~ Andrea
