A segway can reach a top speed of 12.5 miles per hour, akin to the top speeds of a squirrel or a fat, slow cheetah. Roll at your own pace with this Groupon.
The Deal
- $40 for a segway tour of Fisherman’s Wharf and the waterfront (a $70 value) <p>
Up to 10 tourists spend 40–45 minutes getting comfortable with their i2 Segways before cruising the streets and catching views of Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, and Little Italy, among other sites. Departure times vary according to the season; see the schedule for more information.
The Electric Tour Company
The crew members at The Electric Tour Company believe that San Francisco is the most fun town in the world, and that one of the best ways to explore its diverse streets are on unique vehicles such as the Segway and electric bikes. This led them to develop tours—for locals and tourists alike—which have attracted attention and praise from outlets such as Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and the Los Angeles Times. Atop the sturdy deck of an i2 Segway, groups wheel past famed sights including Fisherman’s Wharf, Alcatraz prison, and the city’s notoriously hilly streets. Night tours facilitate a deeper exploration of neighborhoods such as Little Italy and Chinatown, and electric-bike tours whizz straight over the Golden Gate Bridge.

It was great to be able to ride a Segway and see a great deal of the park in 2 hrs. Also the guide is very knowledgeable about the park
