Steve was awesome at helping us plan a last minute wine tour in NOTL. His help and relationships in planning our custom tour was instrumental in the success of our day (at the time the Covid restrictions were changing weekly). Harold was with us too taking photographs which was awesome to document our day and our time together. We will definitely use them for future trips to the area and would highly recommend them. They think of everything and have such great, personal touch’s!

The Lock 7 Tour is our longest tour. The route we use is fairly flat and easy so perfect for beginners. Along the way, you will learn all about the Welland Canal, a triumph of Engineering, and also about the local history. A full training is provided before we set off on our adventure, but Segways don’t take long to master. Once you’ve learned the basic controls, you’ll never want to walk anywhere ever again! Teenagers love Segways – it’s one of their first electric vehicles – and they take to the controls like a duck to water. In fact, kids love riding the Segways so much that they don’t even realize that they’re learning along the way. Regardless of age, you’ll be an expert driver in no time. This tour lasts 2 hours and is 9km long return trip (5.5 miles) so you have plenty of time to enjoy the experience. We meet on the main parking lot of the Lock 3 Museum in St Catharines.

Inclusions: Local guide, Use of helmet, Segway, Segway Training

Segway are fun to ride and super easy to learn! Do not be intimidated, it takes only a few minutes to learn, and then it's pure happiness! Get away from the crowd and enjoy a relaxing ride in a beautiful town on the shores of Lake Ontario. We will cover in total 7 km (4.3 miles) but it won't feel like it at all! We will stop several times along the way to learn more about the rich history of the town and to take pictures. This is the perfect activity for all ages, only 20 min away from Niagara Falls. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed and will feel proud of yourself!
