Itinerary

Start your Los Angeles Segway excursion at the Hotel Casa Del Mar along the Pacific Ocean. The trip kicks off with a quick safety orientation on proper Segway-riding technique. These personal transport devices are relatively simple to get the hang of, allowing you to start your exploration quickly.

Zoom along the Santa Monica Pier, taking a few moments to absorb the atmosphere of its street performers, shops, restaurants, and amusement park rides. During your ride along the Pier, you can also see the Aquarium and Pacific Park. Proceed next to the California Heritage Museum, situated along Santa Monica’s Main Street, admiring the area’s luxurious homes while en route.

Move on to Venice, a unique coastal community designed by developer Abbot Kinney to resemble the canals of its Italian namesake. Today the town plays host to a cutting-edge arts scene, vibrant beach culture, and a bohemian atmosphere. Stop by the Venice Beach Boardwalk, where you can observe the famous weightlifters of Muscle Beach, check out the numerous skate and surf shops, and enjoy the colorful street art.

As you ride, listen to your guide's stories and commentary. Learn about Santa Monica and Venice’s history, culture, and residents. When you get hungry, dig into your complimentary chips and bottled water. You should also feel free to stop for photos at any time. Finish your Segway ride back at your starting point.

It was brilliant. Once you accept there will be feedback from the runners, cyclists and walkers - you know you can just Segway past without any effort. Stand tall and enjoy the experience.

Catherine G, Jul 2014

Best fun I've had in tears. It's too bad the Segway's are having a hard time on the beach area as they can be used, and enjoyed by people who can't walk a lot like myself. Took tour with my granddaughter age 14, and enjoyed every minute and I'm 70.
