The experience

Thirty minutes is enough to cover the Distillery District on a Segway. The neighborhood's flat, pedestrian-only streets are built for it. You'll start with a training session to get comfortable on the machine, then ride past the Victorian architecture that makes this one of Toronto's most photographed spots. The route takes you through hidden courtyards and past the sites where the Gooderham and Worts families built their whisky empire, with a live guide sharing the history as you go.

The Distillery District itself is a working neighborhood with restaurants, boutique shops and coffee spots mixed in with the heritage buildings, so you're moving through real life, not a museum. A helmet is included, and the tour is designed for beginners. The Segway is easier to ride than most people expect. Over 125,000 riders have done this tour since 2005, and the company is Canada's original Segway tour operator.

You'll need to wear comfortable, flat shoes. High heels won't work on the Segway. The minimum age is 12, and riders need to weigh between 100 and 280 pounds. Public transportation is available near the Distillery District if you're coming from elsewhere in Toronto.
