Crystal River Segway Tours, Crystal River

We were in town for one day only, and my wife booked the tour literally 1 month or 2 ago. We showed up at the designated location...a parking lot...and there they were ...ready to go. After a brief familiarization session in the parking lot to ensure that our party was able to use the Segways safely, we were off to a very cool tour of the city. I thoroughly enjoyed the history from our guide ...and his irrelevant sense of humor that was just PERFECT for me...maybe not for everyone ;-).

Had the BEST time with Broderick as our guide. Have done other tours in the Florida area but enjoyed this tour so much more! Broderick was fun and informative about the area and made sure we saw some manatees on our tour. Would highly recommend this tour to everyone of all abilities.

I loved our experience with Crystal River Segway Tours! Our comical tour guide, Broderick, knew a tremendous amount of historical information regarding the area. We learned so much! We began our process in the parking lot located in front of Little Caesar's. **LOOK FOR THE WHITE TRAILER. Broderick pulled the 6 Segways out of trailer, suited us up in safety equipment and walked us through the procedures. "Left hand, left foot; right hand, right foot. Lean forward to go, tilt your center of gravity back to stop( semi squat or tilt your head back.. either can work) and the handles pushed left or right will turn. NEVER LET GO OF THE SEGWAY & NEVER BACK UP" :P *The Segway will continue on it's own if you let go... so don't. Be sure to prop it on yourself or something else. * Once the speech is over, we practice in the parking lot to be sure we have it. When everyone is ready, Broderick finishes the tutorial with the respective hand signals neccessary to recognize and we're off single file. We experienced historical Springs, coastal views, and city landmarks. The experience is EXHILARATING and I believe most anyone can do it. I highly suggest contacting Crystal River Segway Tours while in Citrus County! Ps.. I highly recommend closed toe shoes, baseball cap to wear under the helmet, sunglasses and sunscreen. And if you love taking photos, bring something to carry your phone(or camera) around your neck. There is not a safe storage spot on the Segway. Such spot is taken by the complimentary water bottle. ;)

Despite the very cold weather this tour was fantastic. Close up view of 6 Manatees, historical facts, and entertaining guide made this a highlight of our vacation.
