“Give Me Liberty” Segway Tours to Start May 17th

We’ve mentioned here before that Segway was going to start giving tours of Historic Richmond.  Well, I just found out that the new “Give Me Liberty Historic Segway Tours”  will begin departing at the Richmond Metropolitain Convention and Visitor’s Bureau Visitor Center starting on  May 17.

Here’s the scoop from Segway of Richmond’s Website:

The guided Segway tour is approximately 2.5 hours with a 15-minute lesson to make sure you’re safe and comfortable gliding around town. You’ll discover architectural features of downtown buildings.  Along the way, you’ll stop and see things you just can’t get to see by car. We can also design a personal tour just for you or your group. Just tell us where you like to begin,and we can arrange for local delivery/pick up for a nominal fee.

When: Tours begin daily,
7 days a week, at 10am
and 2pm.
Where: Meet at the Segway
of Richmond Store located
at 1301 East Cary St. in
Downtown Richmond. Tours
will begin at the Richmond Metro
Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Tickets:
Tour tickets are
available at Segway of
Richmond or in advance
by calling 804.343.1850
Cost: $65 per person for a
2.5 Hour Tour.

    From the original article (printed on April 1st):
    “Anyway, despite that fact that this sounds like an awesome April Fool’s joke — It is not.”

    No Joke! I might just have to sign up for one so I can recommend it!

    Jonah,

    I can’t wait to ride my first segway. Do community bloggers get a discount?
