Tour Itinerary

The tour starts off at a meet point in downtown Austin, where an expert tour guide is on hand to deliver a quick explanation on how to use and maneuver the Segway. Once everyone gets accustomed to their Segway, your two-wheeled cruise into Austin’s brazen tarmacs begins under the stewardship of the tour guide.

Congress Avenue

First off the landmark sightseeing list is the Congress Avenue, this six-lane street flanked on either side by lush green trees is Austin’s most prominent stretch of road. Its seamless blend of nature (represented by the trees) and urbanization creates an effervescent scenery that’s a joy to behold. If you’re one for photography, Congress Avenue’s bustling urban culture will leave you clicking your shutters on end.

Driskill Hotel

Away from Congress Avenue, and on to some vintage showcases when you’re greeted by the fabled Driskill Hotel. Keep a keen eye, and you’ll catch an essence of the many stories that take their origins from this historic landmark.  The Lady Bird Lake in all its silhouette brilliance lies a few yards ahead. On a bright sunny day, its calm waters glitter under the rays of the sun effectively setting the tone for what is to come – Austin’s warehouse district.

Warehouse District

Austin’s warehouse district infuses a heightened tempo to the Segway tour. Its vibrant streets, polka-dotted with a legion of antique warehouses is home to what most people describe as Austin’s pop and funk culture movement. A list, hotels, bars, restaurants, and shops make up the view as you coast through the neighborhood and then there’s the occasional local band presentation to provide you with some jazz music, Austin style.

2nd Street District

If the pop-infused atmosphere of the warehouse district fails to quench your thirst for the trendy, you’re in luck as Austin’s redesigned 2^nd Street District ushers you to more of the same. Its narrow streets is home to an avalanche of spas, saloons, shops, and restaurants much like the warehouse district; the only difference being that the shops and warehouses here spot a more traditional look.

Texas Walk of Fame

Wrapping up the Downtown Austin Segway tour is a trip to the star-studded Texas Walk of Fame, where you’ll find tributes to Texas’s own art and music legends. This theater of appreciation and celebration draws the curtain on what is best described as the complete city tour package.
