Glide Through History - Segway Tour

Summary Description

Check in at our front desk - and get ready to have fun! You will fill out your waiver-of-liability forms, get fitted for your helmets, get assigned to your own personal Segway Personal Transporter (PT) - for the duration of your Tour. We then spend a relaxed time getting you trained and ready to ride along with our Tour Guide. Training is fun, and you will enjoy yourself as you learn how to use the Segway PT. Everyone must graduate and pass our tests (Hint: it is easy, and anyone can do it!).  And then your Tour is .... off!!  Follow your Tour Guide for a fun glide through Historic Jacksonville, visiting areas of beauty and historic significance. We guarantee you will have fun and learn something fun!!  Tour time is approximately 2 hours, and we have multiple stops along the way. Bathroom breaks are possible at select stopping points. You will likely see local wildlife including Deer and Turkeys.
