Kevin was very accommodating, had an excellent personality, was patient and knowledgeable, and knew his stuff. We had first-timers in our group and they all loved it and want to do it again, even at our advanced ages. Would recommend this tour for anybody wanting to see the sites of Queenstown, New Zealand for a nice and beautiful ride.

Kevin was helpful right from when we booked and was a terrific, patient trainer and guide. We had so much fun and it was a lovely way to see the Queenstown foreshore.
So much fun plus a lovely surprise activity. Recommend to anyone. Kevin great fun and lots of local knowledge.
It was the best fun. Great tour of town and gardens. Guide was a fabulous teacher and knew when we were ready for the next challenge, but let us decide. Definitely trying to fit a longer one in before we head home. If you are here when it’s cold suggest gloves. Thoroughly enjoyable time.
Great fun. Our host Kevin was very friendly and highly experienced. Taught us how to manoeuvre the segways and after a little test, off we went through the Gardens, along the boardwalk past heaps of restaurants and sights along the lake, and then back again. Loved it!
Kevin was a superb guide. I did the tour with my husband, 18YOD and 13YOS and everyone had an amazing time. I highly recommend this as a fun activity with friends or family.
Kevin did a fantastic job explaining how to work the Segway. He was extremely knowledgeable of Queenstown and shared interesting stories. This was one the best experiences my husband and I had during our trip to New Zealand.
We loved the Segway tour. Not being on a Segway before Kevin insured we knew what we were doing before starting the tour. Kevin was an excellent guide, giving us history of Queenstown. This was a great way to see more of Queenstown. Definitely recommend 2 hour tour
After thorough instruction and practising, off we went. Stopped along the way for information about the area. Took photos of us for memories 2hr tour went really fast. Kevin was friendly and made us all feel confident. Great for all ages. We ranged from 10 to 60. Highly recommend. Thank you
What a fantastic way to introduce someone to Queenstown. A lot of fun!!!! Kevin is such a cool guy. He was very welcoming and very patient. Lots of local info about Queenstown. A must do when first arriving in Queenstown
We had a party of 3 for our 2 hours tour with Kevin. Due to recent rain and floods our meeting point was changed. Kevin was advising us most promptly and we met with him in another location without problems. We all loved and enjoyed our tour with Kevin. There is a mixture of excitement and a bit of history and fun facts told to us. The segways are easy to operate and control. There is no stress at all to be on them and cruising around Queenstown, along the Lakefront and the Gardens. I highly recommend anyone of all ages to try this tour with Kevin. Best thing we have done on our trip!
Easily one of the best activities we did for the day, fantastic guide in Kevin. Great experience - a must do for anyone visiting.
Kevin is excellent at the way he does the basic training and knowledge of the local area. Having done a similar segway tour in Europe, Kevin completed a short practical training to ensure balance and control. We then left on the first leg where the segways were set at a slower speed to enable us to enjoy the experience and the sights. Regular stops to cover local history and details. The speed of the seways was increased to a faster speed for more fun and hill trails before the full speed was made available for a fast run along some paths. We had a super time that was only possible with a great host who made you feel safe using the segway while having a great time. This is a fun experience that everyone should try at least once. The setting in Queenstown NZ adds to the experience with the lake and mountain views making the perfect scene.
What an absolutely fantastic experience! We’re a family of four — Mum, Dad and two children — and none of us had ever ridden a Segway before. From start to finish, this experience completely lived up to all of our expectations and more. From the moment we arrived, Kevin was absolutely phenomenal. His welcome, tuition, patience, encouragement and ability to build our confidence made such a difference, especially for first-time Segway riders. He made sure we all felt comfortable and confident before setting off, which got the whole experience off to a brilliant start. And then we got on the Segways… wow! The tour itself was absolutely out of this world. The kids have already said it’s the best thing they’ve ever done! Kevin was incredibly knowledgeable about Queenstown and made the tour so much more than just riding around. There were regular stops where he shared interesting history and stories about the area, and he even made it fun and interactive for the kids with little bite-sized quizzes along the way. It was the perfect balance of fun, adventure and learning. The route was fantastic and took us to some breathtaking viewpoints, giving us an amazing opportunity to see Queenstown from a completely different perspective. All in all, this was a genuine five-star experience from beginning to end. We would highly recommend Segways in Queenstown to anyone visiting the area — whether you’re an experienced Segway rider or, like us, have never been on one before. An unforgettable experience, brilliant for the whole family, and something we would absolutely do again! Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Awesome experience, our guide was very patient and we had a wonderful time. Fantastic way of seeing Queenstown
This was the best activity we did in Queenstown - highly recommend. Fantastic way to see Queenstown and have plenty of fun along the way.
We really enjoyed our 2hr segway experience. A great way to see Queenstown with lots of fun facts and information along the way. Thanks Kevin
Great way to see the city and Kevin knows his stuff
This was an excellent activity. Heaps of fun and a great way to see different parts of Queenstown. Highly recommend ✔️
Joined for a Segway tour with my partner on a very cold and rainy day but that did not stop us! Saw some beautiful sights and learnt some New Zealand trivia! Highly recommend
So good. Did about 3 days worth of sightseeing in 2 hours with great photo opportunities, gardens and views. Loved it
Best morning ever! The Segway was so fun and Kevin made us feel so comfortable with them before we left. The views are unmatched and we had an amazing time!
Kevin was an amazing instructor. He really instructed us well about the safety features and gave us a good trial till we all were were sure and confident about riding. My 2 kids 11 years old were also thought we'll and were very confident by about riding the segway once they were done with the trip. We did one hour and was a great experience.
We throughly enjoyed our Segway tour with Kevin today. Would highly recommend anyone in or going to Christchurch to book a tour.
Excellent way to get to know Queenstown! Fun and easy to do. Our guide was fantastic…friendly and informative.
Kevin was a great guide. He got us comfortable with the Segways and then had good knowledge and fun facts about Queenstown and surrounding area. We were only our family on the tour, and that worked out perfect for us.
Easy enough like riding a bike and Kevin and as a great tutor. This is a beautiful city to do this in.
Excellent tour on a segway, lots of practice to start until we were comfortable and then off we went.. Had a great time. Thanks so much Kevin...
Loved the Segway tour Kevin our guide was great he showed how to ride and gave us an interesting history of Queenstown Despite the rain it was fun the whole way
Fun and awesome experience! Kevin was a great tour guide. I would definitely do it again.
Such a fun way to see Queenstown. We are 60 and have no problem using the segways. It’s was a fun morning. It was just a shame we didn’t have more time to do a longer Segway tour. The one hour tour was great. Kevin speaks Chinese and English. We were very impressed and everyone in the group had a really fun morning.
Our guide was also the owner of Segway on Q. He was friendly and told us the background stories of our stops. He always looked out for the group and made sure everyone was safe. Felt confident after our training pre-ride. Segway was so fun and the tour was a great time. Would reco for anyone in Queenstown!
Fun and safe. Kevin gives clear instructions and the scenery is spectacular. Highly recommend.
Fun time with Kevin. He trained us on operation of the Segway and we were on our way. Saw many sights around the city and heard interesting facts about Queenstown. Very enjoyable!
A great way to explore beautiful Queenstown. Kevin was meticulous with his safety briefing and initial lesson, the best we’ve ever experienced having done Segway tours in Istanbul and Paris. We got to see places we weren’t aware of, such as Queenstown Gardens, and had a fantastic time. Highly recommended!
Great way to see the city on your first day and learn about the history. Great to learn a new skill as we had never been on a Segway before. The training and support was excellent.
So much fun. A great way to see Queenstown if you are short on time. No experience needed to have a fantastic time.
Kevin was most welcoming and a good guide and leader. His safety consciousness was excellent all the way. Essential training before the ride.
Kevin was a great guide! We had done a Segway tour seven years ago but needed a refresher course. Kevin's training before we started was better than our other tour guide in another country did and we felt confident and ready for the tour. He also gave extra instructions for specific situations we would encounter as needed. He chose a reality great course that showed us some amazing views and helped us learn more about Queenstown! The surprise try at Frisbee Golf at the end was fun too. It was a great experience and we would do it again! Thanks Kevin!
Kevin the guide was great, with lots of interesting facts about the history of Queenstown and the lake. My wife was on her first Segway trip and she handled it very well. And a round of frisbee golf in the gardens was great!
Kevin, our guide made our Segway Queenstown tour feel so effortless and genuinely enjoyable. From the very beginning, he was kind, patient, and explained everything so clearly that we felt completely at ease. We also had some time to practice first, which really helped build confidence. The Segway itself was surprisingly very stable, so even as beginners we felt safe and comfortable. It was such a beautiful way to explore Queenstown and cover so much without feeling rushed, including the stunning Queenstown Gardens. Kevin made sure we felt comfortable throughout and took us through some really lovely spots. Truly a memorable experience, and we’re so grateful to Kevin for making it so special by taking photos along the way :)
We took the 2 hour Segway Tour. Highly recommended. Kevin explained the operation clearly and checked our skills level. Took us across Queenstown stopping at good photo stops and stops to explain the local history. The two hours allowed us to explore the Queenstown Gardens which showed us an area which was new to us. Overall a great tour. Kevin was friendly, informative and we always felt he was looking out for us. When we come back to Queenstown we will do again.
We had a great 2 hour tour with Kevin today, he was full of local history and information, awesome way of seeing Queenstown, highly recommend for any age.
I took the first tour of the day on Saturday 7th March @ 9am. It was the 2 hour Queenstown Tour and I was lucky in that there were only 2 women on the tour plus me. That meant Kevin (our guide and owner) could dedicate more time between us and made it more manageable. Anyway, it was my first time riding a segway, but Kevin was brilliant and patient in showing us how to use it and it didn't take long for us to get the hang of it. So after a short training session, we were off and under way. Kevin took us along Lake Wakatipu, into Queenstown and around Queenstown Gardens whilst stopping at certain points to get photos and to talk a bit about the area. Overall, it was a fun experience and I'm definitely glad I did it.
We had a 2 hour Segway tour around Queenstown and had a great time! This was our 4th time on Segways and was by far the best. We saw some beautiful scenery, went up and down some big hills, and were allowed to go fast 😃 Kevin was very patient and relaxed and was happy to stop and take photos for us. I would recommend Segway on Q to anyone. There is a training/refresher session at the beginning of the tour and helmet are provided.
A Segway tour, especially when you first get to a new location, is a great way to get the lay of the land, see a large part of the city, learn interesting facts and have a fun time doing it. Kevin checked all these boxes! He spent the right amount of time getting everyone comfortable on the Segway in a quiet location before taking us off on our ride. He stressed safety throughout and even those who have never been on a Segway before truly enjoyed the ride. I highly recommend!
Fun way to get around Queenstown. Kevin did a great job initiating us to Segways. Felt comfortable after a short while. He gave some fun facts along the way. Highly recommend.
Kudos to Kevin Hey and his incredible Segway tour! Mr. Hey knows every crack in the concrete and every fact about the town and surrounding waterfront areas. Heck, I think he knows where every pine cone has fallen. At first I was concerned about two hours being too long, but this tour was so thorough, and so fun, I wanted more time! Kevin Hey is nothing short of a perfect guide. And, frankly, I think his prices are a too low for what is offered. Great experience. I can't recommend it enough. PS: Yes, choose turbo mode at the end!
A great and fun tour, led by the expert guide Kevin. A great way to see Queenstown. Great training at the start
Excellent experience on the Tour after a training session which was needed as both of us were new to Segways. Great day for a ride around the lake and gardens with Kevin leading us. Would highly recommend this tour.
