Matt was a great guide and showed us all the greatest parts of the city. It was so much fun just whizzing around on the segway and hearing all the great facts and ghost stories!

Our guide was very knowledgeable and took great care to make sure we were all comfortable on our Segways before setting off. We got a unique perspective of downtown Austin and the bat experience.

We took our 5 teenage grandkids. We all had a blast. The lights of downtown were so striking and bright, the time off the Segway to see the bats was just long enough, Kelcie our guide was thorough, gentle, careful, and engaging. Highly recommend.

We loved Jordan! The tour was super fun and a great experience for my coworker and I. We both had never ridden a Segway before, but Jordan was a fantastic teacher and host. The bars were not under the bridge because of the time of month and migration pattern, but still was a cool experience.

Our Segway tour experience in downtown Austin was absolutely fantastic. We embarked on this adventure with my husband, our two teen kids (aged 14 and 17), and it proved to be an excellent way to explore and see downtown Austin. The views were incredible, and our tour guide was truly exceptional. Thanks to this wonderful experience, we've made it a point to include a Segway tour in every new place we visit.

Kelcy and Jordan were really great. They were patient with our group so we were comfortable with the Segway and we got to see a lot of the city. We had a great time.

Haunted stories 4/10 (4 for effort), bat bridge 0/10, Segway 10/10 . Our tour guide spent too much time at the capital and we got to the bat bridge way too late. The sun had already completely set and the majority of the bats had disappeared by the time we made it there. The group was disappointed. We all politely sat through all the haunted stories but had the most fun riding the segways. Unfortunately would not recommend this tour for the price. Maybe our guide was new? He definitely tried but lacked training in time management and story telling. However, he did a great job of making sure we all stayed together and that nobody got lost. He made sure to count us at every crosswalk. So I did appreciate that. Overall, we were disappointed

Missed seeing the bats. That was the main reason we went. Ghost stories were over dramatic and wordy. Made it silly.

The Segway was fun & easy to learn. I thought the ghost tour was a little underwhelming, but enjoyed the bat tour.
