We enjoyed the Advanced Rider Tour, going down Lombard street was awesome.Jacque K., United States, 11-2008
The team is simply superb. They accommodated myself and 2 friends for an Advanced Tour that wasn't on the schedule. We had an awesome time from the beginning (hence our going for the Advanced Tour 2 days later). I recommend this experience to anyone and everyone. Go with friends and have a laugh while learning about San Francisco!!!Charlie H., United States, 11-2008
Ben B., United States, 11-2008
The advanced tour was a blast. Our guide Jeff was very knowledgeable and kept us all engaged. Nice balance between riding and general touring. We literally stopped traffic when we rode down Lombard St. -- the "crookedest" street. Lots of hill riding. Highly recommended!Helene H., United States, 11-2008
We took the advanced tour and our guide was fantastic - really informed and entertaining. Will be recommending this tour to friends. Kevin A., United States, 11-2008

Excellent tour around some great San Francisco sights.Stephen W., United Kingdom, 10-2008
Alison S., United States, 09-2008
Michael W., United States, 09-2008
The tour was great! I didn't expect the weather to be as chilly as it was...this was no fault of the tour company. The guide told us about a wonderful Italian restaurant, and I called back the next day for a reminder of the restaurants' name and the tour employee gave me the name, address, phone number and directions to the restaurant! She didn't have to do all of that, but that just shows the kind of service you will receive here. Wonderful!!Heather R., United States, 09-2008
Our guide Jerome was friendly and knowledgeable about the sites and gave us a great tour of the hills and neighborhoods we went through. Charles H., United States, 08-2008
Excellent experience and a highlight of the vacation. staff does a great jobFrank R., United States, 08-2008
It has been one of the most valuable tour I ever done. The stuff are great, professional, competent and very friendly. The segway is a great machine and allowed you to have the best tour ever possible, that because allowed you to see all without any particular effort and at the same time with the access at the most part of the city. well I would say DO IT and you will be as happy as I am :-). Danilo A., United States, 08-2008
Don't miss this, it was the highlight of our trip!Karen F., United States, 08-2008
Have done a tour before (in Paris) - this tour had far more health & safety guff at the beginning (some of which was perhaps over the top, but much of it would be useful for a complete beginner). The ride wasn't particularly advanced - but having done it before it wasn't going to be particularly challenging. The tour itself was very interesting - and so the Segway was good as a means of getting around.Anthony T., United Kingdom, 08-2008
I was fortunate to have a small group. There were just three of us. This made for an excellent tour as our guide wasn't herding a group of cattle around. We were able to stop at each point of the tour and spend lots of time there. We also were able to go to spots not on the normal tour. I was quite pleased with the tour and the guide and highly recommend it. I look forward to going back to SF and touring on my own Segway now that they're allowed on the BART system.Dewayne H., United States, 08-2008
Segway is an AWESOME way to tour a city. Chris & Tonya E., United States, 08-2008
Mary T., United States, 08-2008
Do not miss this tour... it is great fun with wonderful views of the city, bay, etc.Jim S., United States, 08-2008
All the members of our party had a great time. "Mama Duck" (Carla?) was absolutely terrific, from her deft, authoritative handling of traffic to her off-the-wall sense of humor. We loved it, even I, the old 75-year-old!John T., United States, 07-2008
Steve H., United States, 07-2008
We had an absolute awesome time. It was the highlight of our trip to San Francisco. The guides we had and all the staff were fantastic and very nice. We will definitely do it again!!!Lee P., United States, 07-2008
This is a "must-do" for San Francisco. The segways are a blast and the tour guide gives loads of fun and interesting info about the city. You can see so much in a short time, and it is way easier than climbing hills for 2 hours. Our kids loved being a "tourist attraction" themselves, as people frequently stopped to take OUR picture! Were wishing we had one to ride in Yosemite, and will definitely plan other vacations around the availability of Segways in other cities. We have gone on Segway tours in Wash DC and San Antonio, TX, and this advanced tour beats them all. Would highly recommend for families with kids. The kids master them before the adults! There are plenty of chances to get off and take pictures or just take a break. Can't say enough about how much fun we had!Teresa H., United States, 07-2008
Thomas S., United States, 07-2008
This is the best tour ever! The route we went on this was great and I'd do it again! Also, I had a little trouble with my natural reaction on one point and the guide took the time to make sure I got it with nothing but patience. THANK YOU!!!!Jani C., United States, 07-2008
Superb experience. Even though we last took a tour many years ago, the Segway was very easy to ride up and down hills of San Francisco. The advanced tour in San Francisco was much better than the basic tour that we took on the Balboa Penninsula (Orange County, CA). Highly recommended. My 13 year-old son had no problems riding. I don't understand why the Angel Island Segway tour requires riders to be 16.David L., United States, 07-2008
This is the second Segway Tour I've done and loved it even more than the first time.Edie F., United States, 06-2008
Hauke F., Germany, 05-2008
Mike D., United States, 05-2008
The actual tour route was very good, especially if someone was not familiar with the sites of the City. Guide had a good sense of humor and engaged in pleasant conversation with the riders while at rest stops. She also handled situation out of the norm and had complete control of the group.John D., United States, 05-2008
The tour was well planned and gave a stunning tour of the city.Bryan C., United States, 04-2008
Awesome tour! We've been on two other Segway tours in other cities and this was the best.David C., United States, 04-2008
It is a good basic segway tour if you have never been on a segway before - plenty of time to train and not much car traffic. Do this tour first on your vacation to get an overview of SF otherwise it will feel like you have seen all this already if you were there a few days and then went on the tour.Laura D., United States, 04-2008
Don't miss this. It's a bit more money than you might usually spend but you will LOVE it!Jennifer J., United States, 03-2008
Paul B., Australia, 02-2008
Our "advance riders" tour was great. Would liked to have gone down Lombard twice rather than riding around and around North Beach. Our guide, Carla, was excellent along with Lilly and Amy. This was our second ride around the wharf area with this company; we're considering the Sausalito tour next and have signed up for the Segway tour in Washington, D.C. at the AARP convention. We really enjoy the ride!!!Grace M., United States, 02-2008
What a great way to see the sights of San Francisco! Riding the hills was a blast!Don G., United States, 01-2008
We've taken two Segway tours with S.F. Electric Tours - the Night Tour and the Advanced Tour - and they have both been a blast! Highly recommend to both tourists and locals. I lived in SFO for 15 years and NEVER went to Fishermans Wharf - a real tourist trap - but the Segway tour makes the rest of the Wharf circus worth enduring, and you become the center of attention. It's five stars on two wheels!Robert W., United States, 11-2007
Carla was sensational!Phillip N., United States, 11-2007
