We generally enjoyed the Segway experience (90 min tour) but I was a bit taken-aback when we arrived and they told us that the tour guide was a volunteer and depended on tips. This is not an inexpensive activity ($59 per person) and being asked to pay the salary of the tour guide on top of the tour price didn't... More

Hi, Thank you for honest review. We're glad you enjoyed your Segway experience, but we're sorry you were disappointed in tipping the tour guide. The company's policy is that the tour price difference covers their cost of the segway being on the road, and the Guides' do sincerely volunteer their time. Our Tour Guides been trained by a Segway Factor... More

Havng never tried a ride on a Segway, we weren't entirely sure what to expect. The team at Segs On The Beach in Bradenton Beach was terrific in providing training, equipment and an entertaining tour of the south end of Anna Maria Island. Joey, our tour guide and Segway expert, was the highlight of the experience. He's a local, friendly... More

This is a very well run establishment with fast and friendly service. The segways are in great condition and easy to operate. I would highly recommend that you stay on the path along the beach although it can get crowded in places. The sidewalks are too narrow and can be dangerous. My husband almost fell into traffic.

Hi, Thank you for your postive review. We really appreciate it! We're so sorry to hear your husband had a scare near traffic, but we're glad all is well. We agree the sidewalks aren't always the best route, the Coquina Trail and Longboat are always the best options for not only scenery but safety as well. Our goal is to... More

Wow! Awesome! Great! These words certainly describe how we felt about our "rookie" experience on the Segway. After our introductory lesson, four of us took off on our own on the path along the Gulf and had a great time. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and had a wonderful time. Truly an experience we will always remember. Julie and her... More

Great fun. Very accommodating. The path to ride the segways was along the beach with a great view. Easy registration. Segways operated well.

Hi Canadian Dave, Thanks for your great review, we really appreciate it. We're always so glad to know that our Segway Newbies leave confident and come back having thoroughly enjoyed their segway experience. Teaching people to use Segways is the best part of my job :-).

Julie was a great instructor for helping a couple of "Oldies" get prepared for their very first Seg experience!!! She made sure we were both comfortable and able to truly enjoy the ride!! We will certainly try this again.

We have been on a segway tour before but Segs by the Sea offered a much better experience. We had a great guide, Joey, who told us interesting things but also let us "ride free" and make the most of the experience. The route was beautiful and peaceful. We'll be renting again next week when new guests arrive! Try it.

Had two wonderful Segway excursions with Segs from Segs by the sea! First was a guided tour with Joey who showed us how easy it is!! Then we went back for a second helping on our own. So easy to ride and so fun to fly along the beach path!!
