Extremely disappointed in this company and how they treat their clientele. When a bike is being rented, it is critical that the company throughly checks out the bike rental along with the power and provides detailed information about the bike rentals to the client. Instead they blame the client for not checking the power usage and any other defects. The company should also should have adequate staff available in case of any issues and mechanical defects which they can quickly come and remedy the concern.The current staff's professionalism is extremely rude, disrespectful and they even body shame as they are very antiquated and should be replaced with a youthful staff. read more

Rick Sharp is one of the nastiest and rude individuals! Instead of helping his client's in stressful situations like when his crap bikes break down, he choses to scald them like children. This man who can barely walk had the nerve to tell an educated and professional black woman that her weight was the cause of his electric bike not working! Rick Sharp then tells her that she MADE HIM say these horrible things to her. Rick Sharp then sends a nasty email doubling down on the disgusting things he said about her body. Rick Sharp said he doesn't care about reviews so ill be sure to post them on every platform I can find. read more

I'm gonna go ahead and start this by saying...I know you're all jealous! Yesterday evening was perfectly beautiful and I got to spend it with some awesome Yelp folks exploring the Burlington Waterfront by Segway! How awesome! This was an amazing opportunity and if you are at all curious-even a little- check these guys out! Our event started with a fairly amusing and (note) SHORT training video. After the video, we were each introduced to a Segway and the tour guides, Rick, Andrew, and Mike worked with each of us separately to help us learn the way of the Segway. The establishment has a nice sized parking lot so we were are able to do the hands on learning right there in a safe and controlled environment. Even though there was about 6 of us in the group for the tour I felt like we really received a lot of individualized attention which I found very reassuring. After mastering the basic controls we were set loose on the streets of Burlington! Just kidding! The Segways start out in "Turtle" mode so you actually can't go faster than 6mph until you prove capable of handling this beast. After showing our capabilities the "turtle" mode was taken off our Segways and there was definitely a new-found sense of freedom...and dare I say it- fun! I am telling you, being set free from the "turtle" setting was the epitome of this experience. All of a sudden we had full control and I can't even begin to describe how exciting it was. Firstly, the Segway makes you grow by about 8 inches so all of a sudden you have a new vantage point. Then, you can go as fast as 12mph so all of a sudden you're not only taller, BUT also faster than before you started this experience! Awesome! I have to say that the words "I want one" came out of my mouth (more than once, I must add) and I am not embarrassed! I saw that look in your eye- that look that says "man, I wish I was you". And you know what? You should feel that way so get up, go on. Go visit the nice people at Burlington Segways and have a fast blast! read more

This was so much fun! Today went out with a group of local Yelpers for a Burlington Segway tour. It's not what I expected. Riding a segway is both easier and harder than it looks. Essentially, you don't know what it is until you try it. Supposedly, almost anyone can do it. I am a little less coordinated than many and I still ended up feeling pretty comfortable by the end. There are two main reasons to do this tour: 1. The joy of a new experience. Learning to ride a segway is a new challenge and fun in and of itself. 2. The opportunity to learn about the history of Burlington's waterfront, straight from the lips of someone who was instrumental in its development to its present day condition. Once upon a time in the 1970s, the waterfront was desolate and not a place that attracted families or tourism. Today, with the help of Rick Sharp, the owner of Burlington Segways, the waterfront is a place that can be enjoyed by all. It was very interesting to learn about the more modern day history of the waterfront and the town and also about the development of Burlington from its infancy, centuries ago. I would definitely recommend this tour for friends visiting from out of town. Or for a special occasion - just because you want to do something different with a group of friends. Thanks to Rick, Andrew and the rest of staff for such a special time on a gorgeous Burlington afternoon. read more

We had such an amazing time on our Segway tour of Burlington. My Dad, stepmom, and half brother were visiting us from Vancouver Canada and what an awesome way to show them beautiful Vermont. Our guides Liz and Ruth were amazing teachers and made sure we were all comfortable for the entire tour. We also got to listen to the incredible history and knowledge of Burlington through our handy radios. I loved this experience and will definitely be back to do it again. This company is awesome and I recommend everyone try it you won't regret it. read more

Rick and Ruth are the owners of this business and lead the tours themselves - they care about the quality of their offering and it shows. My wife and I called for a tour rather late in the season and for a day that looked rather questionable with a couple periods of rain forecast for the Burlington area. Rick explained that if we could be flexible and adjust the scheduled start time a little that he could get the tour in. We happily agreed and met at the appointed place and time, along the bike path on the waterfront. We love exploring vacation destinations via Segway, when the opportunity exists and have probably done a dozen or so tours over the same number of years. After a quick re-orientation on Segway use our small group of 2 couples were off. We all had small radios clipped to our jackets and were able to monitor Rick and Ruths instructions as well as the narrated tour as we rolled along. The waterfront area in Burlington is simply gorgeous, even on a cloudy and cool autumn day. We were both incredibly impressed with Rick's narration of the history of Burlington and Lake Champlain. His detail was just the right amount of history, stories and anecdotes. I was particularly impressed with the intricate level of detail he had regarding the creation of the bikepath that runs through Burlington. As it turns out, Rick is one of a few key people actually responsible for its creation and development! Though I don't recall him explaining that detail, he did provide us with some printed materials afterward that fully explained the decades it took to get the trail approved and built and how he was instrumental in making it happen. How rewarding it must be to fight for something and then not only be able to enjoy its creation but also to share this love with others and visitors to the area. We had a blast exploring the area with Rick and Ruth and I commend others to take the time to reach out to them for a tour whether passing through the area or staying on a vacation or business visit. You won't be disappointed! read more

Rick and Ruth are so awesome! So sweet and welcoming and full of insightful info about the city. If you're a bit nervous about riding the Segway fear not, they'll get you adjusted and feeling comfortable in no time. Well worth your time while Burlington. Will definitely be coming back next time we're in town :) read more

Good tour to explore the beautiful Burlington city. The staff were really nice, friendly and Segways are total fun to ride along the city, up and down the hilly city. None of the guide rushed us into the tour and gave more than necessary time to learn and get used to Segways. Well, I can tell you, it's simpler than it looks. And cooler than it feels :-) Each tour has two guides who sandwich you in between so that no one is left behind. The tours are over an hour long and you get to see the overview of Butlington - starting with Flying Monkeys, champ headstone and finally battery park. Definitely recommended. The price was a tad bit higher for 68$ but I wouldn't mind paying it for a unique, safe and a fun tour. Thanks Amira and Jaye for a wonderful tour ! read more

This was super fun! We had a fantastic Vermont summer evening to enjoy both riding these funmachines and learning about the history of the Burlington Waterfront from the owner of Burlington Segways. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique way to see Burlington. There were a few things they can improve: The business DEFINITELY needs to improve their signage, I couldn't find it for about 15 minutes and had to wander around parking lots until I saw what I assumed might be it. I also think that they need to add a lot to the tour stops as far as history and other topics...I didn't learn anything I didn't already know. Lastly, I think that they should definitely eliminate taking people to Church Street and through that trashy alley on the way. Other than those issues I had a great time and think tourists would enjoy this. read more

We had a great tour with Jodie and Trevor...very knowledgeable of the area and history and they made sure we were safe. We had booked a dinner cruise and Trevor was very accommodating to change our tour time so we could better plan our schedule. We had a great time and glad that you give college kids the opportunity to work there. Mike & Valerie Costakis Bethel, CT read more

We had so much fun on the Burlington Segways tour. This is a MUST do if you are in town. We did this your when we first got up there and it really lets you get the lay of the land, spot restaurants and activities that you'd like to try for the duration of your stay. Learning to Segway for me was a little scary at first, but the tour guides put you at ease and make sure you are good to go!!! They were great! read more

HAD AN ABSOLUTE BLAST! Thank you Rick and Andrew for taking great care of our bunch on the Segway Tour. I did the one hour Burlington Segway Tour today and had an absolute blast. The crew at Burlington Segways really know their stuff and took great care of us. Everything from the instruction to the detail of the up to date modern equipment such as new helmets and the walkie talkies they use for communicating to us during the tour. I had never ridden a Seway before but have always wanted to do it, why not do it in my very own city? The Segway was WAY more fun to ride than I could of imagined, we were all grinning from ear to ear. The 1.0 hour tour left from their Pine St. location after thorough instruction of the futuristic device down to the bike bike path. We stopped at several spots along the path and the waterfront receiving bits of information about Burlington and influential people who had a great deal to do with Burlington as well as the waterfronts beginnings, as well as numerous stops to see Champ the lake Monster. Rick guided most of the tour through walkie talkies everyone was given to wear, mostly as a listening device, although smart, at times it was difficult to hear. After the waterfront and bike path we continued to the heart of Burlington's Church St. for a quick visit of the beautiful center Church St. Then back to their office to return the gear. I absolutely loved riding the Segway and even felt I got a good leg work out while on it working muscles primarily used in balance not used on a day to day nor in the gym. Pros: a ton of fun, excellent instruction, great equipment, excellent staff, a little bit of exercise, lots of laughs, fresh air, Andrew is a great tour guide asset, very animated, and a very good speaker, you can tell he really enjoys his job. Cons: Ricks tour talks were a little dry, I didn't like visiting Church St. or the dingy back alley prior to the wall mural, the Segway office was a tad difficult to find off Pine St. ,more signage would be great, the video room was very hot, please get a fan. Not enough interaction between group and guides. All in all, a wonderful experience, and a recommend for anyone who hasn't ridden a Segway, I would recommend to my best of friends. Recommends: Ask Burlington Segway to skip the downtown portion of the tour and go further on the bike path, go to North Beach for an ice cream? Stop for a creamy at the waterfront? The Burlington bike path is awesome enough for its own tour in my opinion. Additional revenue stream possibilities: sell advertising space on the Segway to local business's, generate additional revenue bringing customers to a local restaurant? Lots of possibilities for this business to grow and expand its tours. Thank you Burlington Segways for a wonderful afternoon. read more

Took the 1.5 hour Segway tour with the family (teen age kids) and we had a blast. About half of us had never ridden a Segway, and in minutes we were practicing in their lot before heading out. Our tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly, very pleasant to tour with. Great sites around the lake too. It was the highlight of our trip! read more

Easy and fun way to see Burlington! Easy to use for those who have more trouble walking long distances, fun to zip around on, and an interesting way to learn the history of Burlington. Great fun and great tours!! read more

My son & I were visiting Vermont on our July 4th weekend vacation. We saw a flyer for Segway tours and tried it; not expecting much. We had previously been disappointed on one elsewhere. We were BLOWN AWAY by Burlington Tours! The crew who set us up and accompanied us on the full hour of the Lake Champlain shoreline and old city were extraordinary. They were friendly, funny & knowledgeable. I would have gladly done a few more tours if our schedule allowed, and will be back every chance we get. We fully recommend this to anybody visiting the area. read more

My expectations were exceeded. As much educational as exhilarating. The history and trivia on Burlington was excellent. a lot of fun!

My husband and I REALLY enjoyed the 2 hour tour we took, and the segways are easy to learn how to use and really quite fun!! We had 2 great tour guides who really knew so much history about Burlington. I learned so much in a very unique and fun way! Also really enjoyed going through the beautiful campus of the University of Vermont. Very interesting to see how much care is going in to making many of the buildings "green". Loved it! read more
