This was my first time riding a Segway and my instructor Nicole was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly patient with me while showing me the rope. She also told me a lot of interesting stories and history about the Distillery District. I had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to explore the area in a fun way.

Full description

Set off on a 30-minute guided Segway tour of Toronto's historic Distillery District. Before the tour, you will spend a few minutes learning how to ride the Segway, starting off with a brief overview of how the machine works, followed by a one-on-one training session with a trained instructor.  Once training is complete, you will discover the fascinating history behind the former Gooderham and Worts Distillery as you roll along on two wheels. The Distillery District is a 13 acre district comprised of more than forty heritage buildings and ten streets, and is the largest collection of Victorian-era industrial architecture in North America. Located east of downtown, it contains numerous cafés, restaurants and shops housed within heritage buildings - along with numerous galleries and outdoor sculptures. Perfect and recommended for beginners, you won't believe how fun and easy the machine is to ride. If you want a great introduction to the Distillery District and the Segway, this is the tour for you.
