We were one day ahead of the hurricane coming. We did not feel rushed at all. Nick was a excellent guide. We had so much fun. Highly recommend!

We booked our excursion the night before for a 2 hour tour at 2 pm. We received several confirmation emails. We went to the meeting location 15 early per the instructions but the tour guide never showed. After 2 phone calls and a text message I finally got to talk to “Nick”, the tour guide, and he informed me that he was not even in town. He did try to contact another guide to see if they could provide us a tour guide, but no one was available. Wasted several hours of our time going, waiting and driving back. Definitely disappointed with the entire experience. I have used this company on several occasions but in the future I will call to personally speak with someone to get it confirmed before I trust in them showing up.
Our tour operator was absolutely delightful! Not only was he bee knowledgeable about the history of Pensacola, he was hilariously funny! He and my husband could have talked for hours. The Segway was very easy to get used to and felt so freeing as you cruised through the streets of Pensacola. Would absolutely do this again!
This was an awesome experience. My friend and I had not ridden Segways before and were able to do it very easily. Our guide was great. We rode all over downtown. We saw great gardens and buildings. We toured an iconic bar in downtown. We heard excellent stories and history. Highly recommend.
Very nice! It takes a sec to get used to the segways, but my very hesitant parents became familiar long before the tour was over. Nice way to see downtown Pensacola.
We actually did not get to do the tour. It was due to weather conditions. The high rating was because guide was very professional and communicated weather concerns and offered other options. But mother nature did not allow it. Would rebook this tour if back in the area.
I took the two hour tour and learned sooo much about all of Pensacola, the history, the important people, the architecture and the geography. I was lucky to have a perfect day and a perfect tour guide by the name of Rick. He was incredibly knowledgeable and answered every question I threw at him! I would encourage anyone who is thinking about a Segway tour to go for it. Am very happy I did!
The Segway was very easy to use. This was a great way to see the downtown Pensecola area. Our guide Nick was great, very entertaining with lots of knowledge of the area and sites.
What a fantastic Segway tour around Downtown Pensacola. Wonderful way to see the sights while riding a Segway. Nic was very informative and provided a history of Pensacola that we didn’t know. Highly recommend.
Guide was very knowledgeable. Scheduled breaks were at the right times. Nick was very congenial and friendly. Would highly recommend this outing for others interested in Pensacola history.
Segways are easy to operate and fun. Guide was very knowledgeable and witty, keeping a running commentary that made the 2 hour tour fun and informative.
Our guide was amazing and so knowledgeable. The history of Pensacola was very interesting. It was all of our first time riding a Segway and we all will do it agan
We had a very interesting two hour Segway tour with our guide Rick a.k.a. Goofy 😁. If you like history and a bit of entertainment in between Rick is your guy. He told us more about Pensacola than we could ever hope to remember but we left feeling like we we definitely got our moneys worth and our guy really loved telling us about the area. Even a little local ghost lure trivia thrown in. Wonderful way to explore Pensacola.
Had a really good time touring Pensacola by Segway. This was a first for me, but Chris made sure we were safe, fully prepared and comfortable to operate a Segway and he kept the whole tour fun
Nic is a great guide and very friendly. Learned a lot of info about Pensacola that we didn’t know. Segways are a great way to tour!
I had an amazing time! The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the city and resourceful. The scenery was beautiful, and the sightseeing locations were safe and peaceful.
We really enjoyed the tour. Tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Pensacola and had lots of interesting information to share. This was a great way to see all of the downtown area without wearing yourself out walking the whole area.
Best city tour on wheels I've ever taken in any country! Rick is a storehouse of knowledge, entertainment, and a whole lot of groan-worthy puns.
Our guide, Rick, was incredibly knowledgeable and very entertaining!! Would highly recommend this tour!! It was just my husband and we had so much fun!
Great trip! Super way to really see old Pensacola. The guide was amazing and a wealth of knowledge. Pensacola is a beautiful city and we saw things we never expected - we will have to comeback for more.
After a mix up with times and communications we were met by our guide Sarah. Could not of asked for a more friendly, professional and informative guide. The tour itself covers many districts and lots of history. Tip. There is free On-street parking near the meeting point.
A great tour. Had a variety of sights and a nice pace. Enjoyed the stories and history of Pensacola. Anybody that has not done Segway needs to do it. So easy to learn.
Nic was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Pensacola. He shared a lot about the area's past, present, and future. I had a blast riding around on the segway and visiting so many great sites.
We booked a 2p tour ended up being 6p tour. A little dark to see some things that would have been better in day time. Tour was on a Monday Very little traffic & ppl. Which was perfect. Giving tour a 4 cause of time & my 5 stars would go to St Petes segway tour :)
Nick was a great trainor and guide for our fist time on segways as well as seeing parts of PNS that would have taken us forever to discover. This was a very fun way to explore and see a lot within a 2 hr timeframe. 100% recommend!
In 15 minutes Rick patiently taught us two 70+ year olds to drive/ride the Segways. My wife had knee replacement and is no longer as nimble as she once was. She was reluctant to try but knew I really wanted to do it so she gave it a try. And she enjoyed it! Rick mixed humor with a vast knowledge of the area’s history. This beats walking as we covered a lot of territory in 2 hours and we were not tired.
Rick was our guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable on Pensacola history, as he is from the area. He is also hilarious! This is the best way to see the city.
The segways were super fun. The guide made it all worth it! He was super informative and fun! They worked with us on rescheduling due to all the rain storms that came thru on the day we had originally booked. Will most likely look at all the other tours they do for next time.
Was a terrific tour! My 15 year old som, husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We had a blast and recommend anyone take the tour when you are in town.
Was an awesome experience first time we ever did a Segway. My wife had accident years back and had knee replacement so she was scared at first then had a blast. She could have never walked the distance we went. Nick did an awesome job giving the tour and was very knowledgeable of his home town. A must do very will priced.
Rick did an excellent job he was animated and very funny and was extremely informative with the history of the area "Little ole Pensacola"
Nick was great. His mix of history and local present day information was fun and worthwhile. Our family had a great time and really enjoyed the Segway tour. Next time we visit we will do the ghost tour.
Rick was phenomenal and our segway tour was very informative about Pensacola past and present. Great way to learn about the history, and coupled with the museums downtown we had a lot of fun and learned a ton! Make sure to have a beer at Pensacola Brewery afterward and grab some grub at Hub Stacy.
My husband and I went on the two hour Segway tour with Rick last month. I usually reserve reviews for things that are 5 star experiences, but I thought it was important to write this one anyway. The Segway part of the tour was great as Segways are always a fun way to see a city, and our tour actually lasted for an extra half hour. The Rick part of the tour was so upsetting that it has taken me a month to write this review. Using very canned, sterotypical speech, almost as if he could hear a laugh track in his own head, he gave us the most racially and culturally insensitive narrative of historic Pensacola. He let us know how we were thankfully in the Bible Belt and thank goodness surrounded by "good Christians", not like in Miami that is just "North Cuba" or "those people" in New Orleans or New York. He implored us to consider the incredible kindness shown to the captured Apache natives who were imprisoned in the fort instead of in jail cells. He told us that Geronimo's wife was actually buried in the Christian cemetery ("I mean of course she doesn't have a headstone, just a wooden cross, but she is buried with the rest of the Christians!"). He told us of the freed African women who worked in the brothel ("they were free, but they were not 'free' - ha ha"). We cringed along with him until he got to the part where he told us that Florida was the third state to secede from the Union and that it had nothing to do with slavery, only the excessive taxation of the Union. When he got to the part where he told us that the freed Africans were sad about being freed because "they had had free room and board", I couldn't stand it any more and asked him to just please stop talking. "Well," he said, "they had to toil a little for the room and board, but it was free." When I told him that he couldn't possibly think this was an acceptable way to portray the kidnapping, brutalizing, and enslaving a whole race of people over hundreds of years, he finally backed down and rolled it back, being very obsequious for the rest of the tour. The whole tour sadly left such a sour taste in our mouths about the otherwise beautiful city of Pensacola. As Maya Angelou said, "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better."
Had a great segway tour with Nik. Very informative and fun-- great way to explore the downtown area!
This was a great experience for the family. The facts we learned about the area were interesting. The Segways let our group cover more ground than walking and they are a blast to ride! The tour guide knew so much about the area and was never short of fascinating information to supplement our adventure. Best way to visit the Pensacola downtown. If you're looking for something to do out of the mainstream, this is it.
My family and I had the best time! Rick was an awesome tour guide. He was funny and very knowledgeable. We learned so much!! We will book future activities with Emerald Coast Tours! 10/10
On Jan 10th, 2022, we had a FANTASTIC tour of downtown Pensacola with Casey: the guys’ a true historian a d teacher! One of our party was a total noob with Segway, the other well-experienced. Casey adapted quickly and efficiently, verifying the experience and focussing on converting our noob into a proficient rider in minutes. The location was easy to find, easy to park, safe for training (and next to the brewery for after-ride festivities). He took us all over the downtown area, highlighting both older (1830s) and recent changes that make Pensacola a wonderful, beautiful, fun, and attractive mini-city. He was full of facts, and easily fielded all the questions. The tour even included time in a great park for a bit of racing time (although the Segways are extremely safe, governed to a manageable speed, and vulnerable only to poor driving.) This was my second time, and I learned still more. We will repeat this experience for any local or visiting friend who likes new experiences or getting a pedestrian eye view of a city in 360*. Segway is for anyone who can walk, stand, and step as high as a curb, and not terrified by the thought of something new. Thanks, Casey, and thanks, Emerald Coast Tours!
Segways were awesome to ride, beats walking any day! Plenty of ride time given. Guide (Casey) was great, learned a lot about the history of Pensacola too.
Super fun with friendly Guide, Casey. Easy training before the start. Will do it again!! Casey made us see neighborhood and historical places about Pensacola I had never seen. Fantastic activity!!
Had a great time with Casey our guide, took time to train the 4 of us on how to ride the Segway’s which was great because none of us had ever rode a Segway before. We all felt very comfortable then taking off for our tour. Casey shared some history of Pensacola, went thru historical housing area, & he shared a few restaurant recommendations. Bonus was leaving from the brewery & having a cold one after the tour.
My girls and I enjoyed this experience SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!! The ride was fun and this is a great way to learn a new city. Christine was the most AMAZING guide. Nick was so on top of communicating with us before we got there, and even cared enough to bring us bottles of cold water so we could stay hydrated. The Segways are easy to ride. Just remember that balance is of the essence! Christine took the time to teach us exactly what to do. She was positive, patient, energetic and knowledgeable about the machines as well as the history of the city. I thought nothing could top my tour of London, but I think she did! (No offense to my tour guide there.) Riding the Segway was so much fun. This is a MUST DO!!!!
Learning about the history of Pensacola was very cool and the guide was personable and knowledgeable. But that Segway Awesome to ride. Thank you very much.
Family had a great time! Guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information about the town.
I(75 yo Granddad) and my 22 yo granddaughter & her friend had an absolute blast on the downtown Segway tour with Rick as guide. Neither girl had ridden Segways before but both got acclimated quickly. Guide was great! Funny and informative about Pensacola and its history. I highly recommend it, and would do it again in a heartbeat! A. EDGAR MIDWAY
Our tour guide was Clayton and he was very knowledgeable on the history of Pensacola. Clayton made the experience informative as well as entertaining. We have ridden Segways before but my wife was apprehensive since it had been awhile since riding last. Clayton put her mind at ease and assisted her with learning how to ride again. Very fun!!!
We were the only riders in our group. Had a great time. Love getting to see an area on segways to figure out where we want to spend more time.
Segway is a great way to visit a location and our guide was actually a teacher and native of the area so he was a wealth of information. Fun for friends and family to do.
Clay taught us how to ride safely as this was our first time riding segways. It was fun exploring Pensacola and “zipping” around town. We learned a lot about this beautiful town and would recommend this trip to everyone!
