Description:

Zip down charming lanes, cruise past historic buildings, and glide along the banks of a mighty river as you explore the sights and sounds of Philadelphia. From atop the wheels of a well-balanced Segway, explore the neighborhoods and landmarks of the City of Brotherly Love.

Meet up with your experienced guide and enjoy a brief lesson on proper riding technique. When you’re ready to roll, head out into the Old City to begin your tour on narrow cobblestone lanes, including the oldest residential thoroughfare in the country—Elfreth’s Alley. As you ride, your guide shares information about the area and acts as a photographer, snapping photos to share with you after your excursion.

Continue toward the water and reach Penn’s Landing, where you can watch charming riverboats chug against the strong currents of the Delaware. Check out the trendy cafes and boutiques of South Street as you approach South Philly, where Italian- and Irish-American communities have fostered a vibrant cultural landscape.

Smell the freshly baked bread wafting from the colorful Italian Market. Buzz closer to see artisans, butchers, and cheesemakers selling their wares from stalls brimming with delicious treats. Nearby, investigate the funky sculptures and installations at Magic Gardens, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the work of local artists.

Loop back toward your starting point as you quietly hum by the 18th- and 19th-century edifices in Society Hill, ending your tour with a reflection on the area’s important history and brick-riddled architecture.
