The Experience

You'll cover Savannah's most significant historic sites on a Segway instead of on foot—a pace that lets you move between landmarks without the fatigue of walking. The guide leads the route through the city's squares and past its defining architecture, stopping at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, a working Catholic cathedral open daily, and the Telfair Academy, the South's oldest art museum. The 90-minute span is tight enough to fit into a morning or afternoon without consuming your whole day.

Your guide speaks English and knows the city's timeline—from Savannah's establishment as the country's 13th colony through the present. Rather than a list of dates, you get the stories that explain why the squares are laid out as they are, why certain homes still stand, and what the monuments and fountains mark. Small groups or private bookings mean you're not herding through a crowd, and the Segway itself handles the logistics of distance; you're not choosing between seeing everything and arriving exhausted.

The tour is open to anyone 16 or older, and the operator notes it suits all fitness levels—the Segway does the work of propulsion, so the physical demand is learning to balance and steer rather than endurance. Wheelchair accessibility is available, and service animals are welcome. Taxes are included in the price; gratuities are separate.

Top questions

How much of Savannah's historic center does the 90-minute tour actually cover?

The tour moves through Savannah's historic squares and passes the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist and Telfair Academy, the South's oldest art museum. The 90-minute timeframe lets you see multiple landmarks and hear their history without rushing, though it's a curated route rather than an exhaustive walk of the entire historic district.

What's the difference between booking a small group tour versus a private one?

Both small group and private Segway tours follow the same 90-minute route and guide, so the difference is group size and who you're riding with. Small groups share the experience with other travelers; private tours are just your party and the guide.

Do I need any Segway experience to join this tour?

No prior experience is required. The guide will teach you how to operate the Segway before the tour begins, so you'll learn to balance and steer on the machine before moving through the city's historic sites.

Is there time to go inside the Cathedral or the Telfair Academy during the tour?

The tour passes both landmarks and stops to view them, but the 90-minute duration is built around riding and hearing the guide's history rather than extended interior visits. The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist is open daily for touring separately if you want to explore inside.

What happens if I'm not comfortable on a Segway after we start?

The guide covers operation and balance before the tour departs, so you'll have time to get steady. If you're still uncertain, let the guide know—they can advise on whether the tour is the right fit for you before you commit to the full 90 minutes.
