Before the tour started, we were theoretically and practically prepared for driving Segways and were able to practice on different surfaces. We were 6 people, our tour guide Shannon skilfully took us to many points in the city and gave us a lot of information about Halifax in her humorous and cheerful way. We had a lot of fun and would book a tour again at any time.

I liked this tour. I appreciated that the app allowed downloading and I was able to listen offline, as we were out of the country and had no cell service. The ability to go at your own pace and see each of the stops was nice. Also seeing the map up front and being able to listen out of order if we travelled a different path was helpful. Would recommend.

Segway is always an experience - Shannon was a great guide and went to a lot of trouble to show us everything that is important and gave us an understanding of the history of the city! All around a great experience and definitely to be recommended... LG Astrid and Frank Neubauer

The staff was very friendly! The tour of Halifax was very interesting and all points of interest were covered. The staff was very patient with the operation of the Segway machine. I would definitely sign up again!

For adults only! Age 19 and over under Nova Scotia law. Great tour! There was a lot to see, very well explained. Highly recommended!
