If you're looking to explore all the historical and culture hotspots of Tampa Bay in a new and novel way, a Segway tour is definitely the way to do it. Segway Experience at Ybor City can oblige by offering Tampa residents and visitors alike a number of fun, informative Segway tours throughout various Tampa Bay locales.
Segway Experience at Ybor City offers three different two-hour tours including a Historic Ybor Tour, a Tampa Riverwalk Tour, and a Cigar and Cafe con Leche Tour.
The Historic Ybor Tour will take you back to the start of this famous Latin quarter in Tampa and explore its roots as a cigar manufacturing town. You'll learn tons of interesting facts about the city and why the immigrant communities that created it are so important as well as see all the landmarks and much more.
The Tampa Riverwalk Tour from Segway Experience at Ybor City offers a refreshing, informative Segway ride right alongside the beautiful Hillsborough River. You'll learn about the original Indian settlement here and more about Tampa history. This tour will take you right by the St. Pete Times Forum, Tampa Bay History Center, Tampa Convention Center, and the Jose Gasparilla Pirate Ship.
The last tour Segway Experience offers is the Cigar and Cafe con Leche Tour. This tour will take you to some of the best stops in Ybor to sit and relax with Cuban coffee and cigars. Definitely the most laid back of all three tours.
