Super fun! - Nick was a great trainor and guide for our fist time on segways as well as seeing parts of PNS that would have taken us forever to discover. This was a very fun way to explore and see a lot within a 2 hr timeframe. 100% recommend!

Insightful & Fun - In 15 minutes Rick patiently taught us two 70+ year olds to drive/ride the Segways. My wife had knee replacement and is no longer as nimble as she once was. She was reluctant to try but knew I really wanted to do it so she gave it a try. And she enjoyed it! Rick mixed humor with a vast knowledge of the area’s history. This beats walking as we covered a lot of territory in 2 hours and we were not tired.

Best Way to See Pensacola - Rick was our guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable on Pensacola history, as he is from the area. He is also hilarious! This is the best way to see the city.

U are in the middle of fUn - The segways were super fun. The guide made it all worth it! He was super informative and fun! They worked with us on rescheduling due to all the rain storms that came thru on the day we had originally booked. Will most likely look at all the other tours they do for next time.

Awesome ! - Was an awesome experience first time we ever did a Segway. My wife had accident years back and had knee replacement so she was scared at first then had a blast. She could have never walked the distance we went. Nick did an awesome job giving the tour and was very knowledgeable of his home town. A must do very will priced.

Great family fun for history buffs and anyone else. - Nick was great. His mix of history and local present day information was fun and worthwhile. Our family had a great time and really enjoyed the Segway tour. Next time we visit we will do the ghost tour.

Fun way to discover Pensacola - Rick was phenomenal and our segway tour was very informative about Pensacola past and present. Great way to learn about the history, and coupled with the museums downtown we had a lot of fun and learned a ton! Make sure to have a beer at Pensacola Brewery afterward and grab some grub at Hub Stacy.

Upsetting reflection of Pensacola - My husband and I went on the two hour Segway tour with Rick last month. I usually reserve reviews for things that are 5 star experiences, but I thought it was important to write this one anyway. The Segway part of the tour was great as Segways are always a fun way to see a city, and our tour actually lasted for an extra half hour. The Rick part of the tour was so upsetting that it has taken me a month to write this review. Using very canned, sterotypical speech, almost as if he could hear a laugh track in his own head, he gave us the most racially and culturally insensitive narrative of historic Pensacola. He let us know how we were thankfully in the Bible Belt and thank goodness surrounded by "good Christians", not like in Miami that is just "North Cuba" or "those people" in New Orleans or New York. He implored us to consider the incredible kindness shown to the captured Apache natives who were imprisoned in the fort instead of in jail cells. He told us that Geronimo's wife was actually buried in the Christian cemetery ("I mean of course she doesn't have a headstone, just a wooden cross, but she is buried with the rest of the Christians!"). He told us of the freed African women who worked in the brothel ("they were free, but they were not 'free' - ha ha"). We cringed along with him until he got to the part where he told us that Florida was the third state to secede from the Union and that it had nothing to do with slavery, only the excessive taxation of the Union. When he got to the part where he told us that the freed Africans were sad about being freed because "they had had free room and board", I couldn't stand it any more and asked him to just please stop talking. "Well," he said, "they had to toil a little for the room and board, but it was free." When I told him that he couldn't possibly think this was an acceptable way to portray the kidnapping, brutalizing, and enslaving a whole race of people over hundreds of years, he finally backed down and rolled it back, being very obsequious for the rest of the tour. The whole tour sadly left such a sour taste in our mouths about the otherwise beautiful city of Pensacola. As Maya Angelou said, "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better."
