(Newswire.net — September 5, 2019) — Urban walking tours are a great way to explore landmarks in a city and learn about their history. They can be time consuming though and they often leave you with sore legs and aching feet. If you’re looking for a way to do urban walking tours that doesn’t take forever and won’t kill your feet then a Segway tour may be just what you need. Here are a few reasons to go on a Segway tour.
Reasons to Go on a Segway Tour
A Segway is a self-balancing two-wheeled electric scooter that you stand upright on. They have a T-shaped handle that you can hang onto and use to control the scooter. Segways were originally designed for urban commuting but failed to catch on. Fortunately they are great for walking-style tours.
A Segway tour is basically a walking-style tour that uses a Segway for transportation rather than your feet. The Segway lets you cover more ground than you would if you were actually walking. This means that tours that might not be viable if you were walking between locations are made possible by the Segway.
Benefits of Going on a Segway Tour
– The Segway is faster than walking with better accessibility than a vehicle.
There are some places where it’s not practical or desirable to take a motor scooter or larger vehicle. A Segway is perfect for many of these as you have similar accessibility as you do when walking, but the Segway is much faster. Some of these areas require you to cover some ground to get to the tour spots, so doing it on a Segway lets you get more tour for your money. The Segway moves at up to 7.5 miles or 12 kilometers per hour, so it can cover some ground.
– Good communication with the tour guide.
While speeding along on the Segway you can still talk to your guide and hear what they have to say. The guide will tell you all about the tour locations as you scoot along with the electric motor being too quiet to interrupt the flow of conversation. It’s a great way to learn while having fun.
– It’s a lot of fun and a great experience.
Driving around on the Segway while you learn about historic landmarks is a great way to spend your time. You can get together a group of friends or family members to share the tour with you and enjoy the fun of cruising around on the scooter together. When you’re done with the tour you’ll have something to talk about, both with the friends who shared the experience and with other people in your social circle.
There are lots of reasons to go on a Segway tour and you will have a really fun time doing so. It will give you something interesting to share with your friends and also teach you about the city you are touring. Therefore, the benefits of a Segway tour exceed just what is mentioned above. So see if there’s a Segway tour available near you and try the experience out as soon as possible.
