Was a great and fun tour with the history of Galveston not just the wood carvings. Tour guide was very friendly and knowledgable.

Matthew led our Segway tour of Galveston and shared lots of the city’s history. We viewed many of the tree carvings up close and loved the beautiful but toxic oleander. Great way to cover a lot of the area without wearing yourself out walking!

Matthew was an awesome guide. He took the time to help us learn how to ride, asked us what we would like to see and hear, was very informative and helped when we had any problems! Highly recommend this for a fun afternoon!

Due to a mix-up we did not do the Tree Carving Tour but rescheduled for the Sunset Tour. This was a great tour, included several tree carvings and a lot of interesting Galveston sights, mansions and lots of history. Aaron was enthusiastic, informative and safe.
The Segways were easy to master even for a couple of 70+ year olds! This was a great way to see a lot of Galveston without a lot of walking.
Another poster recommended taking a tour early in your visit and I agree, the history lesson added a lot to our visit. Highly recommended!

This was our first time on a segway-wasn't hard to learn how to maneuver & made the trip fun! Our guide was spectacular-shared stories, history about Galveston, saw the tree carvings, old Galveston houses and the stories behind them, pier. Highly recommend this tour!

My friend and I booked this tour with Viator, we were in Galveston to go on a cruise and we came in a day early. We are both in our 60's and had never ridden a Segway before. There were two others in the tour, a father and teenage son, and our guide, Aaron.
We were able to get acclimated to the Seg pretty quickly. I will warn you that your legs get really sore pretty quickly- I had not expected that! My feet were cramping terribly. However, Aaron had breaks scheduled in, which really helped. Aaron knows his stuff- learned so much about Galveston history, art, etc. I particularly enjoyed his story about the 3 use fountains (horses, dogs, people) and how helpful those were to the city at the time. And the gorgeous historic houses. I never knew Galveston had such a history or that it had been such a center of wealth at one time. Also learned a lot about the hurricanes, especially the one from 1900 (or 1901)? We covered a lot of ground - no way this could have been done on a walking tour. I would absolutely recommend and would do another SegCity tour if I am back in Galveston.

Enjoyed the historical perspective of the tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and gave us a great variety of facts and stories. He was always open for questions and happy to answer them all!

My daughter and I throughly enjoyed this tour. We were skeptical at first, but Asa our guide was very informative about using the Segway. Being 67 years old I was a little leery, but after a while, became confident. Asa was an excellent guide and knowledgeable about the history of Galveston. We definitely would go again..

Asa was a real history buff of Galveston and we learned alot. We saw sooo much more than just tree car I gave. Highly recommend this tour.
