The husband and I have done Segway tours in a number of cities, so it's become a go-to activity for us whenever we visit somewhere. Because hello, Segways are a TON of fun, and a great way to get up close to attractions without having to walk or being stuck on a bus! However, this tour in particular wasn't one of the better ones we've been on. Because the storage/training area is in a parking garage, you meet your guide outside a nearby restaurant so they can take you into the alley and down to the secret Segway closet (seriously DOWN a massive ramp, which may be intimidating for inexperienced riders). The instructions explicitly state that restrooms are available inside the restaurant...but for a 10am tour, they're not open yet. Luckily, the Panera next door was happy to give us the code for their restrooms. The Segways themselves have obviously seen WAY better days. Our guide apologized for being late due to having to inflate the tires, but the handlebars were banged up, my Segway made a constant clanking/rattling noise from one wheel, and the guide ended up riding one with a low battery because no others with fully inflated tires were available. The available helmets were in similar rough condition. While our guide was friendly enough, knew the basic spiels for the stops, and even texted me in advance of the tour to confirm we knew where we were going (and when he was running late), he also seemed pretty lackadaisical (although pleasant) and didn't wear a helmet. I was also annoyed that, for some reason, we didn't receive the waivers via email ahead of time, so we had to fill them out on the guide's phone. In hindsight, he wasn't checking anything, so I should've just lied and said we'd already signed... On the upside, we were the only two people signed up, so we got a longer tour and more stops that we would have otherwise. Since we've ridden Segways before, we also got to skip the training -- we just hopped on and demonstrated that yup, we know what we're doing. A vast improvement over watching 10+ people slowly get the hang of it! And of course, we really enjoyed seeing a wide variety of Denver spots up close and personal, and learning at least a little bit about some of them. So while you can't ever really go wrong with a Segway tour, definitely head into this one with open eyes about what to expect. read more

This is a great way to see Denver. Whether you're a visitor or a native segwaying is fun in itself, but it's interesting to learn more about this neat city. read more

+ so much ground covered in 2 hours! + our tour guide Chris was THE best + super fun, super safe + plenty of photo ops -was very chilly towards the end of our ride -parking can be both easy and difficult, so give ample time to find parking Let's start with Chris, our guide. He is the most patient, considerate, friendly, and generous guy! We had a group of 8, and first bad customer impression: we were late!! Sorry Chris!! Chris adapted really well even though it was totally our fault. Second bad impression: as soon as we finished our alley training, suddenly half of our group needed to go use the bathroom....sorry Chris! Older bladders can't wait. So yea, he probably thought we were nightmare customers off the bat. But he still made do w us and adjusted accordingly. Most of us had not been on a Segway before. But he made sure we were safe at all times, particularly keeping an eye out on the people who had trouble. We were frequently traveling in the bike lane, but we knew he was alway looking out :) Additionally, I was personally very appreciative that he was so understanding about our phototaking obsession. There was one art exhibit of zodiac statues featuring each animal in the zodiac. And we freaked out cause we're Chinese. So OF COURSE we had to each take individual and group pics of us posing w our zodiacs and Segways, right!?? Yea we spent a good 20min there and he was so patient w us. He let us take our time to really absorb and document our surroundings. We covered so much ground in 2 hrs it's hard to keep track: we visited the Coors baseball stadium, hipster cherry creek, sped through tunnels and under bridges, lower downtown and mid downtown, capital park, civic center, the convention center w the blue bear...along the way he gave us nice tidbits of history and interesting information. We especially loved dipping through the cherry creek bike lane tunnel and seeing the zodiac art statues and the piano light statue. No guarantees on seeing that specific art, though, as Chris said it gets rotated out sometimes. Tips/What I would do differently: 1. Bring gloves and a pack of "hot hands" handwarmers. We came in early March and the weather was alternating between 40's-50's. One hour into our tour, our hands and feet were frozen. 2. At one of the stops, make sure to park the Segway against a wall and give your feet a rest. Riding nonstop surprisingly hurts the soles of your feet. 3. Parking: give ample time to find parking. I've found parking can be both easy and difficult, hard to predict. Saturday afternoon there were a lot of parking spaces sporadically scattered on each block. But, Sunday afternoon we tried to find parking and it was impossible. I would advise trying to find street/metered parking first. The metered parking was $0.50 to $1 per hour. Cheap! But if you go into the garages, it's quite expensive. Remember to carefully check the signs. read more

I took a trip back to Denver to visit friends and family over Labor Day weekend. My father-in-law surprised us with tickets for a two hour Segway tour through Denver, and it sounded like so much fun! You meet at the visitor center at 16th and California where you will get an individual tutorial on how to ride the Segway before heading off on the tour. I'm so glad they did the tutorial one person at a time, so give us a chance to get really comfortable on the Segway before we committed to two hours of zipping around the town. Our tour guys did a great job breaking down how to safely operate the Segway and I immediately was comfortable and ready to go! We zipped around checking out the sites and our guides did a great job navigating downtown during both a Rocky's game and the taste of Colorado! Crowds everywhere and there were no problems. My favorite part of the tour was when we were really cruising down the sidewalk parallel with the Platt river. I lived in downtown Denver for five years, but moved away six years ago so it was great seeing how much of it changed and what stayed the same. The guide and I had a fun time comparing facts and information about different historical spots in Denver. You can have up to 4 people in your tour group, and there is a guide in front and in back so we stay together as a group. Their website says they may be able to accommodate larger groups if you call way in advanced, but the standard is up to four. I had a lot of fun and would highly recommended this to both tourists and locals! Thanks Brandon and Jake for the fun tour! read more

If you want to learn all about Downtown Denver in an hour and a half, then this is the tour for you! My husband and I had an amazing time on this Segway tour. We started off on 16th street mall, then made our way down to Union station. Afterwards, we visited the Coors Field, which was beautiful! Then our guide took us to different parks with a gorgeous view of the Denver City skyline. I can't even list all the places we saw Bc there was so many. What truly made the tour a memorable experience was how our guide gave us a lot of fun facts about the city. We became so knowledgeable about Denver that when we had dinner with our local friends from the city we were telling them fun facts that they didn't even know about Denver! Haha Overall, it was a great experience and we highly recommend it. It's a fun and fast way to learn a lot about this beautiful city. Plus, who doesn't enjoy being on a Segway?! Happy Traveling, JT read more

Is it possible to give a tour zero stars? My motto generally is, "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" but... other tourists need to be aware of this before they waste $65 per person on this Denver tour. If this first paragraph is all you read, be warned the Segways were very poorly maintained, unsafe, rickety and dirty and helmets were filthy. The steering handle on one Segway needed to be leaning to the right for the rider to go straight (see photo). Now about the person on the bike who we followed through Denver. We were waiting at the designated spot. A person on a Segway came up from an alley and said "there are two more people coming." Not, "good morning, my name is.... are you here for the Segway tour?" We asked about a restroom. "You need to use the restroom at Panera." We had already been to the "customer only locked" restrooms. He said just tell them you are with the Segway tour. Panera did give the code but said that was news to them that Segway customers get to use their restrooms. On to the tour. We head down an alley with our guide. We try to engage him in a little conversation. "Could you introduce yourself?" "Oh yea. My name is Kyler." "How long have you been doing these tours." "This is my first tour." (Nice try, we didn't believe you.) "Can you tell us a little about the tour?" "I usually start with ....." "So...I guess this isn't your first tour lol?" (All of this said on our part to break the ice. Is he reserved? shy?) No, come to find out he really isn't into being a tour guide. We head out. He on his bike leading six Segway riders. We had a total of four spots where Kyler spoke. One cool spot on a bridge we stopped, waiting for him to say something significant about where we were, but he just took out his phone and engaged himself with that. Kyler was on his phone texting about every two or three minutes the entire tour even while riding the bike. Phone in and out of pocket every couple minutes. We did get to ride past the US Mint. (Not important enough for a stop.) In front of the Capital, someone asked a question about a nearby statue. He said he would tell us about that later. We headed in the direction of the statue but continued right on past. After our guide crossed a busy street with five xc seconds remaining before the light turned red (clearly no concern for the six people following him), we stopped some distance away from the "most photographed art statue in the city" where we received a general answer about the art statue we just past. At this spot we were able to take photos (through the trees) and see what we could of Denver's most photographed statue. The only bright spot of the tour was the added dynamic of the two ladies with whom we shared this very memorable tour. Kyler, if you read this, you need to find other employment where social skills and service is not required. Hope you find something more suitable for what you enjoy. Possibly a phone store? read more

Very expensive. Family of five and we had a nice time, but decided scooters and electric bikes were just as fun and more economic after we did those. read more

So, yeah, the thing about this tour is....it's just not all that great or interesting. Don't get me wrong, the tour guide was friendly but totally uninformed about anything that might be remotely of interest to a tourist. Sample exchanges: Q: What's the population of Denver? A: I don't know man, but it's growing. Yeah, it's growing. Q: What is that building? A: I don't know but it's pretty big My friends and I are total nerds and do Segway tours wherever we go. The ones in Chicago and Savannah were great but I also think there is a lot more to see there. A lot of this was in downtown, where you're just looking at office buildings. The nicest parts were when we were by Coors Field and then when we were down by the river and over by the big REI store. Otherwise, there is not very much to see and since our guide didn't know much about the city, we just got to hear about things he likes to do and the classes he takes in school. After an hour, three of us wanted to rebel and quit the tour but the other two wanted to stick it out. In fairness to the guide, and not to bash Denver, but in the downtown area, there just wasn't that much interesting to see It's always fun to ride Segways so I can't give it less than three stars, but if you're interested in seeing and learning a lot about Denver, you'd be better off reading a guidebook and walking around on your own. Thank goodness I had a groupon deal for this...if I'd paid full price it would have been two stars. read more

This tour is a MUST when visiting downtown Denver. It was the highlight of our visit and the 1.5hr tour was perfect! It took us only a few minutes to learn to ride the segway and we were zipping around town in no time! Stuart was our guide and he did a good job. He had an easy way about him and he gave good instructions. We segway'd on city streets, parks, bike paths, along the river, by a theme park, over a bridge, and even up the ramp of the Sports Authority stadium. It was sooo fun! Highly recommend this! The only discomfort is standing in place for a long time while applying pressure to the balls/heels of the feet. Take advantage of the stops along the way to stretch or exercise your feet and get some circulation back. read more

This was a lot of fun for a beautiful cool summer morning. The Segway is super easy to learn & fun to maneuver. I've lived in Denver 32 years and I learned things from Stuart that I didn't know! Very informative & interesting with some of the tour at top speed (12 MPH) along the Platt river. I highly recommend. Educational AND fun! There are picture taking opportunities along the way so don't forget your camera. You can wear sandals if you want, but a shoe with comfortable soles is best because your feet tend to go numb. I also used a Groupon, so the price was right. Don't forget to tip more if you got a deal read more

Super fun, easy to learn and you see a lot of denver that would take hours to walk otherwise! I bought a tour for good friends visiting out of town and we all enjoyed it! Would definitely do it again! Our tour guide was knowledgeable, charming and made the whole experience easy and fun as it should be! read more

Rocky Top Glide - Our Denver segway tour guide Chris rocks - Tours Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I've done a number of Segway tours over the years, and this was the best by far. Not because of the city, per se, although it's an exhilarating metropolis. It was because of our guide, Danielle. She was so witty and engaging, and she showed a lot of patience with our scrappy group. A guide's personality is *everything* with these things. We hit the jackpot with her. It was a fantastic experience. read more

Great tour of the city. Chris was an outstanding guide very knowledgeable about the city and took us to some of the best areas to ride. The only thing we should have done was take this tour at the beginning of our trip. read more

Just finished our 2 hour tour with our guide, Brandon. Brandon was great! He made sure we felt comfortable learning how to ride and had interesting facts and history to share along the route. The segways were so much fun to ride! It was so cold today and breezy. We wore extra layers and thermal underwear and it was still cold! But it was worth the experience. Highly recommended. Ask for Brandon to be your guide! read more

Stuart was great. We will recommend this anytime we have guests visiting from out of state. And we tell them to ask for Stuart.

My family and I just finished a one and a half hour tour with an awesome tour guide John. There were seven of us, John did a great job relating to everyone in our group, he was extremely safety conscience and made it very fun and informational. We can't wait to do it again! read more

Rocky Top Glide - Look ma, no hands! - Tours Near Me - Denver, Colorado

My 70 year old mother, 13 year old daughter and I took the 2 hour tour and loved every minute of it. Our guide was knowledgeable, entertaining and took a lot of time making sure that everybody was comfortable on the Segways before we departed. There is plenty of time and space to practice before you start the tour, and it wasn't long before everybody felt safe and ready to ride around town. We would all highly recommend this tour, and I hope to do it again. read more

Really fun tour! Can be a bit hard to find as they don't actually have a store front but there is a nice bar you can hit up while you wait if you are early like we were. The tour guide Brett was super laid back and equally good about getting each of us comfortable with the Segway. I was s bit nervous at first but you get used to it really quick. We headed down to Coors Field and then down by the river and cherry creek, which was the prettiest part of the tour. The stop at LittleMan ice cream was a nice added bonus. Overall really fun! Thanks read more

We have lived in Denver for 18 years and decided to use this service when friends were in town. It was a blast. The Segways were easy to ride and only took a few minutes to learn how to maneuver. We were aware of the different spots we went but our guide, Stuart, did a phenomenal job of adding a bit of color and commentary which was mostly new to us and made for an even more interesting excursion. I would highly recommend this to visitors and residents alike. read more

Chris was an awesome guide! Knew a lot about the city and was very funny. The route he took us on was beauuuutiful. Two thumbs up :)

Great company and tour! Stewart is fab. You get to see lots of denver! Good mix of city and scenery!

I loved loved loved my tour. So much fun. These guys run a great operation. This is a denver must do.

A friend and I bought Groupons for 2hr tours. We booked a date/time and went on the tour. Half way through the ride the skies opened up and it began to pour. Our guide was very nice and let us book another 2hr session for free so we could get the full experience. We came back a week later and the weather was perfect. The whole thing (rain and all) was a blast! The guide was knowledgeable about Denver and made the ride really fun! I've lived in Denver for about 8 years and learned a lot about the city, on this tour! I would highly recommend taking this tour!! read more

Our tour guide, Stuart, made our Segway tour a very special night out! We learned a lot about Denver's history! If you have never been on a Segway don't worry because Stuart puts your safety first!

No, I still do NOT recommend Rocky Top Glide! But I want to let you know that they DO have insurance. They told us they did not when I wrote the 10/29 review. I think I'll be spending some time in Denver in the coming year - thank goodness for frequent flyer miles!! I'm looking forward to spending some quality time in beautiful Colorado!!! read more

We had Brett for our Segway tour downtown Denver today..... He is really good and the Segway tour was awesome! Highly recommend this! Bought coupons on Groupon and I highly recommend that as well!! Like it so much I could do it every day!!! read more

I have taken Sedway tours before and this one was by far more superior then any of them. The tour was very informative, and for two hours I relived Denver from 19th century to now. Our Guide was insanely knowledgeable about the history of Denver. We were able to go at a steady pace which allowed to take in more than enough of new and old Denver. read more

Do not use this company. We were in Denver for spring break. I booked on line several weeks in advance. We showed up at the designated meeting location early. Waited and no one showed. I called the first number and no answer. I called the second and got a woman who informed me I canceled the tour a few days before. I said NO I didn't. Because I had not. She informed me it was cancelled and they had no guides. She also said I'd been refunded. Which is funny because my credit card company had no record of this. She offered a free tour later in the week I said ok. She said we will call you to confirm when we find a guide. But the call never came. And still no money returned. We left Denver having no tour. The money was finally returned but bottom line this is not a legitimate business do not use. We have had Segway tours in a number of places and they've always been great. So do a tour just not with this company. read more

We had a delightful segway tour around Denver. From Coors Field to the Arts district. What a fun way to see the city. The group size was perfect, the tour guide (John) did a great job keeping us all on the move, and the day was perfect. We were a mix of people from in and out of town so John had to balance our interests. He did a very nice job of keeping things interesting and pacing the tour so we could all stay together. Great information about the architecture, history, and culture of Denver. read more

I've lived I'm denver for 3 years and I learned things that I never knew about this city today! Our guide Zach was very knowledgable about the city; he knew fun facts important facts and pointed out nifty little places to go eat at or spend time at. The segues (sp? Haha) were scary at first to ride on, but within a few minutes I felt safe. He always knew where we were at and let us take as much time as we wanted at the beginning to get comfortable with the machine. Very personable and relaxed guy. Anyone can ride one and I recommend trying out this fun trip whether you live in Denver or are just visiting! read more

I booked and paid for my Segway tour and expected the best because we had used them this past year for my sons birthday. That time was a great experience but this 'attempt' was nothing short of theft. I had booked for a party of 5 and we were ready to go at the appointed time. We arrived at 5:25 for our 5:30 start at the correct address. We waited over 30+ minutes with a complete no show on Rocky Top Glides part. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!! read more

She got us acclimated to the Segways in about 10 minutes (which was MUCH easier than I imagined!) and we were off into downtown Denver for the next hour and a half. Not only was Danielle funny, but we learned some interesting history about the city. I would definitely recommend! read more

Loved the segway tour. It was a great way to see/experience the city. The segways, although goofy looking, are a TON of fun. Like so much that I want to buy one and use it at home.
