Excellent tour with wonderful guides (Eric & Mary I believe). They did a thorough orientation and ensured each participant had practice and was comfortable on the segways. They started in less busy areas and ended in busier downtown area which was good for confidence boosting. Knowledgeable and friendly with focus on safety. There is a washroom in the building so go before your tour. Dress warmly if its cold out...they have gloves if you don't. They provide helmets.

This tour was so fun! A very unique way to explore Nashville quickly, and Eric was awesome! He kept us entertained with jokes and I never felt bored while he was talking. Learning the Segway's is not as nerve wracking as it seems, either. I definitely recommend booking this! We will be back!

The Segway tour and our guides were amazing. I booked a tour for our group. We were supposed to be 9 people. We bought the insurance and unfortunately 2 of the people in the group got sick and could not attend. I called and emailed before the tour and spoke to them and was told we would be refunded for the 2 who could not attend. When I got there I reconfirmed that we would receive a refund. This was February 18th. As of today March 5, no refund, no returned calls with explanation or discussion and no response to my email. The tour itself was fantastic but the customer service once you have a problem is not good. I was told in person and on the phone that we would get a refund and nothing for weeks. Very disappointing.

This was the best Segway Tour ever! great customer service and the two guides were amazing. Brett, Larry and Jabob were informative, polite and funny. We got to see so many things, never felt rushed and had a super fun time. Highly recommend. Don't miss out, this tour is a must do!

Pros: One out of the two guides was interesting and dynamic. Nashville is a cool city and is beautiful. Cons: One of the tour guides was meh. Nice enough but low energy and too quiet. We went painfully slow the entire time. This is my 5th Segway tour in different cities and I have never gone this slow. Boring! We paid for a 2.5 hour tour that started at 1:30pm. The website said the first half hour is training. However, there were 12 people on our tour so training actually took 48 minutes so we didn't start riding until 2:18. Then we got back to the shop at 3:47. Which actually meant that we only took a 1 hour and 29 minute ride. So basically they cut 25% off our ride. When I questioned it, the guide just said training went long and we saw everything there was to see on the tour. The whole thing was pleasant I guess but super underwhelming and pretty disappointing.

Awesome time Very friendly group of instructors Patient, funny, informative. Saw most of the city which we would otherwise not have seen. Lots of fun Highly recommend iRide

Decent tour, Segway's were fun. Tour guide didn't know a lot of details about many of the locations we stopped at they just guessed on details and dates. Also both guides ( Mary and Buffy ) had a bit of an attitude about people not stoping for the group instead of managing the situation. Your does allow you to see some nice views of the city.

I was treated to this tour by my visiting cousin. Absolutely loved it. Honestly, I was very nervous because I know how downtown is (being local) but the Segways are very easy to use, intuitive even. Just remember to not think about it. Don't laugh, it's harder than it sounds. But I really enjoyed it. Learned a lot. Laughed a lot. Did not fall... very much fun. I really recommend it for locals and visitors. Eric was awesome.

What an amazing tour of Nashville! Loved Ren and ?? Ugh! I gave your card to a couple at Puckett's!! That says a lot!! We so enjoyed our Segway tour and highly recommend this super friendly business!! Their regard to safety and fun was terrific!!

Our tour guide! The tour comes with 2 guides!!

Ren & Buffy were awesome! Very knowledgeable and fun! Did the training about 15 min at first easy to get the hang of, and then out on the town! It was great we dressed up in 80's gear and had a blast!

Fun Things To Do Travel

Nashville Segway Tours: A Segway Tour Is A Fun Way To Explore Downtown Nashville!

By Lynnette

• I can’t do that… I’m the world’s biggest clutz and have no sense of balance!
• How can I possibly enjoy a “tour” of Nashville this way?… I’ll be fighting to stay upright the entire time.

After I found out that she, too, was nervous about riding a Segway for the first time — especially through the crowded sidewalks of downtown Nashville on a weekend — I started to get excited about the possibilities.

I’ve lived in Nashville for 13 years, and visited Music City a few times before that, but I can assure you that I learned about lots of fun new places in Nashville on this Segway tour.

I highly recommend it. And I look forward to doing it again!

How Much Do Nashville Segway Tours Cost?

First, I would encourage you to look for a discount or coupon code online via Groupon , Living Social , Yipit , Retail Me Not , and other websites like that.

There was no discount available when we went, so we paid the full rate of $75 apiece. (I know, it’s a lot. But so worth it!)

The  Nashville Segway Tours take place 3 times a day, 7 days a week.

Keep in mind, on weekends, you’ll be dodging a lot of foot traffic on the sidewalks of downtown Nashville. So if you’re super paranoid, choose a weekday instead. That said, there’s really no need to avoid weekends, because our tour guide avoided the busiest sidewalks since we were all beginners. So there’s really no need to worry about plowing down a Nashville tourist on your Segway.

The tours are limited to 12 people ( age 14 and up ) and are divided into 2 groups of 6. Each group has its own professional Segway guide.

How A Segway Works

Basically there’s a gyroscope in the base of the Segway — near the platform where your feet are. That gyroscope works to maintain an upright position for the Segway at all times.

A Segway’s speed is 100% determined by your feet:

• Push down on your toes more to go faster.
• Push down on your heels more to go slower.

At the same time, you’re supposed to slightly bend your knees (though I noticed no one actually doing this after the first 30 minutes of training, not even the guide) and loosely grip the handles on the Segway. The handles are only used for turning. At first, you’ll find yourself gripping the handles for dear life, but you’ll quickly find that does nothing. I ended up draping my wrists over the top of the handlebars for much of the trip.

In case you’re wondering, yes, it’s a cinch  to turn on a Segway. In fact, you can do a zero-point turn very easily — with hardly any effort — and it’s not scary at all.

I say that simply to assure you that turning (and dodging pedestrians) is very  easy to do. There’s nothing tricky about it, so don’t worry about hitting anyone or anything on your Nashville Segway tour. It’s highly unlikely.

Here’s more about how a Segway works .

Yes, You Get To Practice First!

One of the things we were unsure of before arriving at Segway of Nashville headquarters (on 3rd Avenue, next to the Johnny Cash Museum ) was where we would be practicing before hitting the streets on a Segway.

Turns out there’s a large room inside the front door where you practice turning around, starting, stopping, and finding your center of gravity on a Segway. One half of the group (the more advanced ones) practiced in there.

The other half of the group (us beginners) practiced on the sidewalk in front of the building. It’s a fairly busy sidewalk with a lot of foot traffic, so it was actually a great place to practice!

Most of us were HORRIBLE at controlling our Segways during practice. Yet we were all super excited to get back on and hit the streets. Weird, I know. But it’s true.

Once our tour began, the first place we stopped was only 100 feet away or so — a large open space with lines on the ground and pillars to practice turning around. It was perfect for us beginners. We all quickly got the hang of it, and we were eager to move on and tour the city.

Seeing Sights That Few Have Seen Before

One of the best parts of taking a Segway tour is the ability to see parts of Nashville that few (tourists and locals alike) have seen, or even knew existed!

As I said earlier, I’ve lived in Nashville for 13 years and yes, I’ve seen the Titans stadium , Bicentennial Mall , and the Sulphur Dell area . But I’ve never seen those — and lots of other areas — from the places we went on a Segway.

They said we went about 5 miles on this tour (seemed like a lot more), and over the course of 2 hours there were only a handful of places that I’d personally been before this Segway tour.

That’s kind of hard to believe since I’ve done plenty of touristy things in Nashville, and plenty of things with locals too. Still, we ended up at the best places with the best views of Nashville ‘s finest sights & sounds.

Good To Know Before You Go

• Regardless of the type of shoes you wear, your calves, shins, and feet will be a little sore afterwards. You’re using those muscles a little differently than normal.
• Large, even bumps (like in sidewalks) should be tackled full force — meaning you should just go fast and forward over them. Slow speed bumps are slightly more dangerous.
• Curbs should be avoided. (Just ask my friend, Suzie, who wiped out while going full speed — 13 MPH — and going over a curb with only one tire.)
• Segways can be stopped in the same amount of time — or a little faster — than a bicycle traveling the equivalent speed.
• They give you a helmet and bottled water.
• There is only one stop that has public restrooms.
• There’s a good-sized pocket on the front of the Segway where you can put small items — like a purse, souvenirs, etc.
• If you feel like you’re going to fall… bend your knees, stick your butt out, and slowly (evenly) dig in your heels. Try to resist the urge to use your hands and arms to grip the handlebar or grab at a nearby object thinking it could be used to help stop you. It won’t. It’s all about realigning your core and slowing your speed with your feet.
• Use the handles to help you stand centered on the gyroscope base (especially when you’re stopped), but don’t grip the handles too hard or you’ll just wear yourself out for no reason. It’s all in the feet… not the hands.
• At first, you’re thinking, “Why are we stopping already? I’m just getting used to this.” But, trust me, your feet will thank you for the breaks. And you’ll soon see that all of the starting, stopping, getting on, and getting off the Segway are what make you a better — more confident — Segway rider. It all starts to make sense after the second time you get off & on the Segway again.
• You do not need to know everything there is to know about riding Segways for these tours. But for those who wish to know, here’s the manual for how to ride a Segway .
• Almost every time we stopped — and there were other people around — someone came up to us and asked how much it costs to rent a Segway and if we would recommend Nashville Segway Tours for newbies. The people in our group always replied enthusiastically, “Yes… it’s definitely worth doing!”
• In case you’re wondering, you can buy a Segway for $3,000 to $7,000.

Without a doubt, I will definitely be taking more Segway tours in other cities !

By picking the right tour, you'll be able to experience whatever side of the Music City you'd like to see. U.S. News identified 15 of the best Nashville tours using traveler opinion and expert input.

Editor's Pick: Old Town Trolley Tours – Nashville Hop On Hop Off Trolley Tour

Price: Adults from $63; kids from $25 Duration: 1.75 hours

U.S. News independently paid to send Kellie Walton , a Tennessee-based travel, food and beverage writer, on this tour to provide readers with an unbiased, first-hand perspective of what to expect. Old Town Trolley Tours – Nashville Hop-on Hop-off Trolley Tour was selected by our team as an Editor’s Pick thanks to its popularity and favorable user reviews.

Nashville’s allure spreads far beyond the honky-tonks lining Broadway – there’s a world-class food scene, influential history in the Civil Rights and suffrage movements, and even a full-size replica of the Parthenon originally in Athens, Greece. Old Town Trolley Tours’ Hop-on Hop-off option moves visitors through each of these highlights and more, including retail districts Capitol View, the Gulch and Marathon Village, and attractions like the Ryman Auditorium , Country Music Hall of Fame and the Frist Art Museum . In total, it makes 13 stops. Riders are free to disembark and rejoin at any stop to explore the destinations by foot, with trolleys arriving around every half hour.

Throughout the tour, learn behind-the-scenes facts and personal anecdotes from a live local tour guide, such as their favorite dish to order at nearby restaurants, and where famous songs were recorded. The majority of Old Town Trolley Tours drivers moonlight as musicians, and come with insider knowledge of popular venues and recording studios around town. The comfortable trolleys are operational in any weather, with open-air windows that can be sealed quickly with a plastic covering in the event of rain.

Kellie Walton

Why we love it:

• Marathon Village, accessible via stop one, houses many Nashville retail options, including a Jack Daniel’s retail store, an amplifier showroom and Antique Archaeology, a store made famous by the reality television show “American Pickers.” 
• Many highly recommended restaurants are within walking distance from several trolley stops. Turn up the heat at Hattie B’s Hot Chicken at stops three and nine, or dine inside an old train station at Stationairy or The Finch at stop six. 
• For those visiting Nashville by car, stops one (Marathon Motor Works), 12 (Nashville Farmers' Market) and 13 (Capitol View) have free street parking within walking distance of trolley stops.
