fun

All was fun til I fell off and broke my collar bone, hours before heading to the airport home. Just grinned and beared it so I wouldn't miss my flight. Now unable to even drive my car and under doctors supervision homebound for a month til it heals.

Great tour and learnt allot about the local culture from guide. Saw allot and a great way to get around also for those who consider this tour you will travel on side walks and road ways with traffic at times. Very enjoyable and would definitely do again.

Neither my wife nor I had ever operated a Segway before and we were fortunate that we were their only guests so we had that initial training and we were on our way and it was Great! Coaching was excellent and good information provided.

Papeete by Segway Tour

January 08, 2018

Papeete is a very pretty town but also crowded and congested. Using a Segway to get around seemed like a great idea, and it was for me. My husband on the other hand had some problems operating the device and eventually took a tumble. I think the guide did and excellent job orientating us to the vehicle so the fault was all his( yes we are still talking but agree we may be getting a little too mature to try new fangled things!) There is a lot to see and do in Papeete, this was a good way to get the feel of the land.

Fantastic !

Tour by Segway is a great idea! The Segway is very easy to ride and operate, I’ve never ridden one before. With the Segway we were able to cover a lot of ground very quickly and see many interesting places, sure beats walking. The tour guide even took us to a large courtyard zoom around and play on the Segways, it was a lot of fun. We are in our sixties, so it was a good choice for us.
