The experience

The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist anchors LaFayette Square, where many films have used its Gothic spires as a backdrop. Mercer Williams House Museum sits in a square that drew filmmakers for Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil and other productions. The tour strings these locations together on a Segway, so you cover ground without walking the full distance on foot. The machine does the work while you steer and balance.

You start with a short familiarization video and hands-on training before the route begins, so the first part of the 90 minutes is learning the Segway itself. Once you're steady, the guide leads the group through the streets and squares, pointing out which scenes were filmed where and sharing the history behind the buildings and neighborhoods. The pace is slow enough to take in the architecture and listen. The guide handles the narration while you handle the steering.

A helmet, bottled water and the use of the Segway are all included. You need to be at least 16 years old and wear closed-heel shoes. The tour is wheelchair accessible, and service animals are welcome. Public transportation options are nearby if you need them before or after the ride.

Is this one for you?You ride the Segway yourself after a brief training session, so this suits anyone who wants to move through the city under their own control rather than walk or sit on a bus. The shared-group format means you're with other riders, which works well if you enjoy the social pace of a small tour and don't need privacy or a custom itinerary.
