What to do and see in Austin, Texas (TX): The Best Segway Tours

February 12, 2022 Sachiko Swiger

Every year thousands of hipsters, groupies, and die-hard fans flock to Austin for the annual South by Southwest festival, which has catapulted the Texas city up the must-visit charts for many travelers. The sandstone Capitol building is symbolic of the Lone Star State’s "bigger is better" mentality, featuring a gorgeous whispering gallery rotunda and 22 acres of grounds. Cool off with a dip in Barton Springs, a huge natural limestone pool that’s fed by underground sources.

We had an amazing time on our Segway tour with our tour guide Kelsey. We all had never been on a Segway and Kelsey was very patient in showing us individually how to ride it. We did not leave the parking lot where they do the training until we were all comfortable navigating our Segways. Kelsey then slowly led us to Downtown Austin where he showed us the beautiful sights and told us some of the city’s history. I highly recommend booking a Segway tour with Transport Yourself.

Very bad experience. This agency is closed. We were never told our resevation was cancelled. So we arrived and waited, nobody answered the phone number provided. Nobody reimbursed me. I get we are in a pandemic but wouldn’t trust a business that can’t close temporarly properly.
