The experience
You start with a 20-minute training session to get comfortable on the Segway i2, then spend two hours gliding through St Petersburg's downtown with a guide who speaks through your personal headset receiver. The route covers roughly 8 miles and takes in the waterfront, the new Pier Park, and the 1920s homes of the Old Northeast neighborhood. Along the way you'll hear about the city's past, including the site where the world's first commercial flight took off and the history of the Tocobagan Indians, whose princess inspired Disney's Pocahontas story.
After the tour ends, you walk into the Museum of History with admission already paid (a $15 value). Inside you can see the world's largest collection of autographed baseballs and learn about the pioneers who built the city. There's no separate ticket line or extra transaction. It's part of the package.
The tour works for first-time visitors and locals alike. Groups stay small at a maximum of 6 people per booking, and the headset means you hear the guide clearly even when the group spreads out. Bring comfortable shoes without heels and dress for the weather. A bottle of water is included.
