Learn about Golden Gate Park and see its major attractions in an easy yet adventurous way. On this San Francisco Segway tour, you’ll cover more ground than you would on foot but still enjoy being outside.

Start by meeting your guide and participating in a 35- to 45-minute practice session to get used to your Segway, which most riders find to be very intuitive. Then set off, gliding through the park with your guide, who will tell you about the history of the park, such as how it went from uninhabited sand dunes in the 1870s to a well-planned city gathering space that’s home to museums, lakes, gardens and more. Spot sights like the Shakespeare Garden, the lawn bowling courts, the Conservatory of Flowers, Stow Lake and two impressive museums—the California Academy of Sciences and the de Young, a fine arts museum.

Cruise past Lily Pond, a pioneer log cabin, a grove of redwood trees and other lesser-known highlights, and make plenty of stops to take photos of this 1,000-acre (405-hectare) sanctuary that spreads from the middle of the city to Ocean Beach. Your tour ends with return to the starting point in the park.

Terrific Experience. My daughter and I were looking for a fun way to visit the park, and found this Segway tour. From start to finish this was a wonderful experience. Was easy to book the reservation, and I received a confirmation phone call the day before our tour to confirm everything. Hands on training was great and we immediately had confidence driving a Segway even though we had never done so before. The tour itself was AWESOME! Jeff, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour quite enjoyable with his numerous "dad" jokes. Really glad we were able to see at least some of the flowers blooming, and they were just beautiful. Was really impressed at how much ground you cover within the park. Tour does not go through the Botanical Garden as they do not allow Segways in that area of the park.

Johannes was an awesome guide! Very knowledgeable about Golden Gate Park and Segways. I've been to the park many times but learned tons of things I didn't know before. We'd never ridden a Segway before and Johannes made it easy to learn. We were riding like pros by the end. Tons of fun!! We'll definitely be coming back to ride on the Fisherman's wharf tour!

A brilliant experience that I would highly recommend. Kelly our instructor took us through all the safety training with great care to ensure that everyone was completely at ease on the Segway. We then went on the tour riding on all surfaces finishing off with some off road trail routes. Well done Kelly - great job from start to finish 😀
