A great way to see the island!! - This adventure was such a blast!! This was booked through Royal Caribbean as an excursion, so booking was simple. None of us had ever been on a Segway before, so we were hesitant at first but thought, "Hey, why not?" We did not regret our decision. The ride from the cruise port to Fort James is a short ride. Once we arrived, our guides introduced themselves and started going over safety topics and instructions (I'm horrible with names, so I can't tell you who they were). They were both very patient with everyone in the group. We went to several historic areas and stopped at a beach for water and to swim if you wanted to swim. They had a safety vehicle follow along for the entire trip. At the end, you were escorted to an outside bar on a beach where you could swim, have a drink, or just enjoy the day while waiting for your ride back to the cruise port. I would highly recommend this tour for the friendly staff and as a way to see some of the island and enjoy the breeze.

Fun way to see the island - Great way to get away from the shopping places downtown. A lot of great information about the island. Even though the guides were young - very knowledgeable, very professional. If you have never been on a Segway these guys will turn you in to a pro in no time. And if you have never had to maneuver a Segway around cows, this is a must book 😜

Super Experience - So glad that this tour has re-opened post covid! Dorian, our guide, was delightful, and Max and James (Bond!) provided excellent back-up. We thoroughly enjoyed the segway eperience and learnt a lot about Antigua, its history and wildlife at the same time. Just what we had been hoping for! Thanks lads for a great morning!

Guides were Great! - We did this as part of a cruise excursion. The guides were so much fun. They let us have plenty of freestyle time on the Segway. We have been on many Segway tours but this was our favorite. Riding a Segway along a beautiful Caribbean beach is a great experience.

Great fun! - We did this as an optional excursion on a day visit to St John's from a cruise. It was great. It took most of the morning, so we had time for lunch in St John's and a walk around the town in the afternoon. The guides on the Segways were very good company and clearly knew what they were doing. Safety was important and we were well shepherded along quiet roads and paths. We were given radio earpieces to hear the leader at all times and apart from directions he also told us about the things we were seeing and we learned a lot about the island. After the official route we had "freestyle" time near the fort before returning. Note: The office at the start has lockers, so you can take a beach towel etc. and leave it there for time on the beach near the office at the end of the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip.

Segways awesome, sightseeing average - We are a family of four with a 17-year-old daughter and 14-year-old son. None of us had ridden segways before and this was a great experience for four beginners. Our energetic guide, Dorian, along with his sidekick Max, were really nice, genuine guys. Safety briefing and equipment were all good, although Dorian's segway broke down. We though the sightseeing was average (Fort James was pretty overgrown when we visited) but riding the segways around was great fun for all the family. I would highly recommend this tour if you have never ridden a segway before.
