The Wharf & Waterfront Evening Segway Tour offers the complete experience: A great orientation, informative historical and current-day information, heaps of unique and fascinating stories, fantastic photo ops, superb personal service from your guide and an opportunity to ride the coolest machine in the world - the Segway!

What is a Segway? A Segway is:
 

	Easy to use and operate, the two-wheeled Segway sports high-tech gyroscopes that automatically respond to your body's movements, "sensing" when it should speed up and slow down.
	You stand on a small platform between left and right wheels as you hold onto handlebars at a comfortable waist height. The Segway handles the balancing for you, so that you're always upright as you glide through any environment.
	Designed to operate in any pedestrian environment. It's new, it's cool, safe and easy to use, plus a ton of fun! The perfect way to see the Bay City.

Ready, Set, Let's Glide! Your means of San Francisco sightseeing should be as unique as your destination. If boarding a buggy, climbing aboard a cable car, or ferrying through fog sounds nice but rather traditional, The Wharf & Waterfront Evening Segway Tour is an unforgettable way to experience the City by the Bay!

This nighttime journey will take you gliding to the best views and hidden locations on the waterfront. A city as unique as San Francisco demands a one-of-a-kind way to tour it. And the Segway is the answer!

Your fully narrated evening Segway tour will feature spectacular evening views of the Golden Gate Bridge while you explore:

	Municipal Pier and Aquatic Park
	Fisherman's Wharf and its picturesque fishing harbors
	Cable Car turnaround
	Ghirardelli Square home of delicious chocolate
	National Maritime Museum and the historic sailing ships at Hyde Street Pier
	Spectacular views of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge
	Visit behind the scenes where the fishing industry, fleet and seafood processing are located
	See the Dungeness Crab Stands in Historic Fisherman's Wharf
	Night views of the Alcatraz lighthouse and the twinkling lights of the Bay Bridge

Alternate "Run for the Palace" Tour Route:
On some evenings they will use a different route: The "Run for the Palace Route " is a journey Westward from the Wharf area towards the Golden Gate Bridge. The start of the route is the same as the "Waterfront Tour". The "Run for the Palace" route goes through the Marina District, past the Yacht Harbors, along the Marina Green and on to the Palace of Fine Arts.

There isn't a schedule for the nights they will run the Waterfront vs the Run for the Palace routes. Every tour makes numerous stops for photos.

As the world's first and only electric, self-balancing human transporter, the Segway has set a new standard for sightseeing fun! Experience for yourself why a Segway is the ideal way to sightsee and fun for everyone! Riding a Segway is relatively easy to learn. Each of the tours begins with a 30- 40 minute training session. You will practice on the Segways until everyone feels comfortable and ready to tour San Francisco!
