About the operator

- Jeanne F0 contributionsFun way to tour San Antonio!Such a fun experience and unique way to tour San Antonio! We’d never ridden Segways before and were a little nervous, but after a short lesson, we were off! Our tour guide, Robert, was fun, knowledgeable and entertaining. He gave us time to explore some of the sites on foot while we watched the Segways. He also sent us a summary of some of his suggestions and tips for getting the most out of our trip.Written 9 March 2025
- marciaj8410 contributionsGreat Fun!Roberto was a wonderful guide. He made sure everyone was comfortable on the Segway before beginning the tour.

- Melissasalois0 contributionsSo much fun and lots of laughsRob ended up being our guide after another staff member didn't show. I don't know what that person would have been like but can't imagine they could have been better than Rob. He was informative on all levels - history, happy hours, story telling , architecture, and ghosts.Written 5 January 2025

- mjamb620 contributionsSegway tour was great - Robert was a great guideMy husband and I so enjoyed the Segway tour that we took with Robert. We learned a lot of interesting history and facts about San Antonio. I wish we would have done it at the beginning of our trip there. Robert was great. He was funny, light hearted and made the experience very enjoyable!Written 4 December 2024
- Tami N0 contributionsThe Best of San AntonioThe Segway Tour of San Antonio was the best part of our trip! Joseph balanced history of the city, local culture, sight-seeing, and fun in a seamless experience that engaged the whole family. His humor and patience was perfectly keyed to our reluctant teen that usually balks at tours of any kind. It was a delight!Written 28 October 2024
- PTLebo0 contributionsFUN TIME IN SAN ANTONIOWe had a great tour and ride with Rob. It was a great way to start of our time in San Antonio as we got an overview of various things in the city so we could come back to them later on our own if we wanted. Rob also gave some local insight into various points of interest. Highly recommend this tour.Written 25 October 2024
- J7357YJtiffanyw0 contributionsSO MUCH FUN!!!What an absolute thrill for the adventure seeker! Not too dicey, but enough to feel like you were doing something on the edge. The tour was well worth the money, for the two hours you got to ride. It was the perfect amount of time on them, to where you didn't feel like you were left wanting more, but by the time it was over, you were completely satisfied with the experience. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable of the history in San Antonio, which made it cool too, to learn about the days of old in a city so rich in history. Would 110% do it again! Probably going to be a new staple to our vacation expeditions no matter where we go!Written 30 September 2024

- 656yurig0 contributionsSan Antonio family tripJoseph was an amazing guide. He was very funny and had a lot of facts on San Antonio. He kept us fully entertained and informed. Glad we took this tour...even our teens were entertained.Written 24 June 2024
- clairetay10 contributionsBetter and Cooler than WalkingGreat tour, Joseph was informative, and really made us feel comfortable about riding the Segway (we were both newbies) but after a few minutes you get used to it and it’s a really fun ride!! The tour takes you to some interesting parts of the city and you learn about its haunted past. Great tour, would definitely recommend.Written 27 May 2024
- Eric G0 contributionsFun Segways and an excellent guideJoseph was a fantastic guide. He took time before we started to teach everyone how to ride the Segway. He was quick, but he had each one of us practice individually with his guidance to be sure we knew how to operate the Segway. And then we were off. The evening tour was perfect. It was in the 90s today, but at 7 pm, things cooled off and it was a perfect ride. The Segway is just plain fun to ride, and we were able to see way more of San Antonio than I expected. Joseph’s stories were always entertaining, and all four of us had a super time. Highly recommend this tour.Written 23 May 2024

This was my first time on a Segway and Joseph was amazing at teaching me how to ride it and in the tour that he gave me. He allowed plenty of time to stop and take pictures and made some great recommendations for where to eat afterwards. This is an amazing way to see the area. I highly recommend.

Lots of fun even in 102 degree summer heat. Joseph was informative, conversational and humorous as we easily wound our way through the downtown neighborhoods of this vibrant city. A great way to further appreciate the history and people of San Antonio.

We really enjoyed the tour and the knowledge of Joseph, our guide. He spent plenty of time teaching us to ride and was very knowledegable about the city, its history, and most importantly, the best restaurants.

Joseph was super knowledgeable of the area and quite entertaining. He took the time to make sure everyone was comfortable with the Segway operation. Would recommend doing at the beginning of the trip as there are many places he points out or provides history that you may want to explore on your own. Not sure if they offer private tours, but we would do that if we returned. You only cover as much ground as the slowest person. Highly recommend

Joseph was amazing! So patient with us beginners and his fun personality makes the trip extra fun! If it’s your first time in San Antonio the Segway tour is a MUST, we learned so many cool things about the city from Joseph we would have never seen or know.; he gives great recommendations on things to see and do. Thanks for a great experience! The WV gals had a blast!

My favorite part of the trip was getting to see so much of the city in a short period of time. My favorite site was the cathedral which we got to go inside. This says it’s an Alamo tour but it’s not, you can’t even go on the Alamo grounds on your segway. Joseph the guide was awesome, born and raised and still lives in downtown SA. Knowledgeable and also funny. It was a two hour tour and you might be with strangers. Also, you’ll have to wear a helmet so if you don’t like other people’s germs, you can bring your own. They do clean theirs however. I would recommended this tour.

My husband and I decided to try the Segway tour. Joseph our guide was friendly, knowledgeable about the city and very entertaining. We would recommend this tour early in your visit to San Antonio to give you a better idea of what to visit while staying in the city. Joseph, thanks for giving my husband and I a wonderful time. We appreciated your patience and encouragement ( especially with me) I am 51 years old and was scared I was going to fall or hurt myself) but after having you take me under your wing, or by your side I was able to learn the ropes quickly and glide by myself. We would both highly suggest this tour. What a great way to spend the afternoon. Thanks again!

My wife and I do Segway trips all over the world since we believe it’s the best way to actually see a city. Joseph was our tour master, and he didn’t disappoint. His knowledge of San Antonio gave us an interesting insight of the history of the city. Highly recommended.

I don’t remember having a list. The tour guide took us to the high points in the city. You might check their website. It was really fun.

Do you provide pick-up at hotel (Palacio del rio)?

Does the Seggway Tour allow time for a tour through the Alamo?

No. It was just a pause for a kodak moment. The tour is a sedgeway tour. But did introduce us to places we visited later
