What to Bring

If you are wanting to carry your phone, camera or other items with you, strap on a backpack or cross-body bag to keep secure while riding. Helmets are required on the tour, but will be provided once you arrive. Wear closed-toes shoes and don't forget to wear your shades.

What to Expect

Tours begin in the Rosemary District. Before embarking, tour guides will give a brief lesson in Segway riding, which you'll find surprisingly easy, since Segways balance for you and move as you lean forward. Then, the tour begins. You'll cruise down to Main Street, stopping by shops, restaurants and historic buildings. Then, you'll head to the bayfront and down John Ringling Boulevard and reach the height of the Ringling bridge. Be sure to stop for a photo op.

Finally, you'll ride to St. Armands Circle and past Lido Beach, where you can peep the white sand and rolling waves. The tour ends back at Bayfront Park, where you can stop and take in the scenery of Sarasota's skyline, the water in the bay and the boats parked at the marina.
