1. I'm a senior citizen , apprehensive about driving a segway--- No worries. Training emphasized safety and confidence building. 2. I'm an educator, using travel for personal learning--- this experience better than ever expected. Loved being toured through the historical district and Sonoma neighborhoods, as well as the advertised winery. 3. I'm frugal- DEFINITELY got my money's worth! read more

What a fun experience, and way more than just a ride around town. We visited wineries, had a wonderful lunch, tasted cheese at the Vella Cheese Factory, and were entertained and educated by Hunt, the owner. His knowledge and personality made it a really fun time. We'd recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and fun experience in Sonoma. read more

Hunt and team crushed it! Touring the Wine country in a segway gets you outdoors while keeping the focus on exploring new wineries near the Sonoma Plaza. Our guest were hesitant at first but following the first of 3 wineries were shocked at how cool this concept is... Totally unexpected but the lunch provided was better than most of the nearby restaurants. Tri tip sando with assorted cheeses. My wife and I will be back. read more

Riding nerdy! I booked a tour for a group of seven friends for my husband's birthday last weekend. Hunt and Yuni were super helpful while working with me to organize my large group. They even rented an extra Segway to accommodate us (they only had 6 available). Our guide, Gerardo, was friendly, funny and very informative. I was born and raised in Sonoma, but I still learned new facts about the town's history from him! Learning to ride the Segway was a little scary for me, but I got the hang of it within 5 minutes. My sense of balance was definitely thrown off at first, but by the end of the tour the Segway felt like a natural extension of my body. Everyone else had an easy time riding, and dare I say, tested the limits a bit (thanks Gerardo for putting up with our silly group!). We were able to go to two wineries on this tour, Buena Vista and Bartholomew. Gerardo gave us two for one tasting coupons for Buena Vista, which was awesome. Wine is always great, but the cheese tasting at Vella's was the highlight of the trip for me. You get a full tour of the cheese making process in a facility where everything is done by hand. The cheese platters we had were amazingly delicious. I ended up purchasing Toma, Dry Jack and a Smoky Bleu. So good! Nothing like rolling around Sonoma on a gorgeous summer day with a slight buzz and a belly full of cheese! To sum up the experience, yes, you will feel like an absolute dork while riding a Segway. Yes, the locals will stop and stare, wave, and laugh while you go by but the tour is so much fun, none of this will bother you. Our group actually felt like we were spreading cheer throughout Sonoma because everyone was getting such a kick of seeing us ride by. Next time you're thinking about going wine tasting in Sonoma, do it on a Segway! read more

We had an awesome time for my friends relaxing bachlorette weekend. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone, you definitely have to try it. Hunt is a great tour guide and very knowledgeable about the area and wine, etc. He makes sure your comfortable on the segway (which doesnt take long) before the tour starts and ensures your safetly along the way. He also took extra time with our tour group and showed us areas of the wineries that most people don't see. I plan on bringing my family next time. read more

Our tour was wonderful. Hunt did a great job explaining how to drive the Segway and keeping us safe! Important!! It was so much fun! The skeptics (husbands) had a really fun time riding them! Sonoma is beautiful and seeing it from this perspective was very special. We loved Hunts (tour guide/owner) enthusiasm and love for his community. He gave us the locals--backstage tour! We loved both wineries we visited- very pretty property and friendly people. Lunch was delicious too! Really really worth the price. A perfect date day with my sweetie--thank you! read more

We had a stellar time for our 18th Wedding Anniversary. On this trip we decided to bring our teenagers 13 and 16 yrs old. I've done the Segway tour with Hunt for a corporate event a few years back. And have been telling my wife and kids about it ever since. So this year instead of doing the spa day, decided to change it up a bit. We had a stellar stellar day. Sooo much fun on Segways. My kids picked it up right away and my wife who is catastrophe prone and very nervous to get on a Segway was gliding around within min like a pro. So anyone nervous about getting on a Segway should know. It's extremely intuitive and simple to learn. There are risks. But those that are typically due to user error. Hunt spoke often about the imaginary bubble of space you need to create around you when riding next to others. Bump into another Segway or a curb can result in a not so fun moment. But I can say we felt safe the entire trip, never made any mistakes with our bubbles, and had the best time ever. Thank you Emily another guide on the tour as well did a great job!! Hunt provides so many great stories about the history and culture of Sonoma and of the wineries and cheese factory you visit, it is not only fun but very educational for all. I don't want to give it all away but I will say even for a 2nd visit for on the same wine tour was money well spent and a great time had by my family. There is a lot of time on Segways which it's really a great balance of road time and winery time. Anyways I couldn't recommend the experience enough to seasoned Segway folks and beginners! This trip does not disappoint. read more

Holla Emily! You are the bomb.com! I was super hesitant about segways but all my friends wanted to do it. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! Our guide was so awesome, her name was Emily, make sure you get her The tour includes a catered lunch that was super good and you hit up a few wineries and a cheese shop. This tour was defiantly worth the money and unexpectedly so much fun. read more

What a top notch enterprise! My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the best way to visit wineries, via Segway! Hunt was a superb host. A native to Sonoma, he was very knowledgeable about the area, the history and about wine! I learned more about wine on this tour than in my whole lifetime! He really helped us all to be at ease on our Segways and by the end, I had to do a victory lap! The group was small and personal! If you're visiting wine country, this is money well spent! Plan to pack for the delicious wine tasting and outstanding wines to take home! read more

This was one of the most fun things we have done! Hunt and his wife couldn't have done a better job on our tour which made for an amazing, unforgettable day. I can't recommend Hunt enough and we are already looking forward to doing it all again next time! THANK YOU!! -The Texas Crew read more

Sonoma Segway - Tours Near Me

The company canceled our trip after accepting our reservation and money. Had they contacted us immediately we could have made other plans but they did not. As the customer I would be penalized for such a last-minute cancelation but there is no consequence to them. Unprofessional and undependable. read more

Thought I was seeing things when a pack of Segways headed by Hunt Bailie came up the Ravenswood driveway. Spotted Yuni Bailie and her dog on a yellow Segway zipping around the square just the other day. The young and inventive couple started their company just this past year. In case you're not familiar with Segways, they created a lot of stir during the DotCom boom and caused an uproar among San Francisco sidewalk pedestrians. The Segway Human Transporter balances a person on two wheels, utilizing a system of gyroscopes and microchips to keep you effortlessly balanced. Deluxe tours include hands-on lessons, 2.5 hours+ of drive time around Historic Sonoma, a winery (Ravenswood, Buena Vista or GunBun) plus a shop visit and of course a bottle of wine or Segway T-Shirt. If you try them, let me know what you think! read more

Hate to admit it, but we had to try it. We felt like H U G E dorks but laughed our asses off. I wanted to go faster but they kind of control the group a little too much. Anyway, you will feel like the future, the past, and the present all at once on these weird pogo sticks with motors. I'd never do it again, but wth, it was worth feeling like some kind of strange moon creature for a couple of hours. read more

I was surprised at how much work goes into manipulating a Segway. Riders always looked so dorky to me in the past, but I have a newfound appreciation for the art of Segway-wrangling. Hunt (our guide) was extremely patient as he taught my parents, sister, and I to roll forward, back, and sideways without crashing. I had such a great time being a dork and waving at all of the locals. The tour lasted 5 hours altogether. We went to 2 wineries and Vella Cheese. Hunt personalized our tour to our unique interests and knew the answers to all of our questions (unlike some tours we have been on in NorCal). The cheese tasting was the best. Hunt has an inside connection, so we got to see the back areas where the cheese is made and aged. He was also great at posing the four of us in memorable places to take photos - much better than trying to take pictures from a Segway. The only warning I will give is that Segway riding can be hard on your back. You have to bend your knees over every bump and ripple in the pavement or a painful jolt will shoot up your spine. Also, there are limited places to sit during the tour. It is definitely doable, but you should schedule time for a rest afterwards - don't count on charging ahead to the next activity immediately. read more

FUN, FUN, and MORE FUN!! Our Guide Herardo was very cool and a walking encyclopedia of Sonoma wine history. Our first stop was the Buena Vista Winery. The girl serving us in the tasting room was really cool and did a great job of making us feel welcome. Our second stop was the Barthalomew Park Winery. The grounds were beautiful and our picnic lunch was great. The wine was just ok and the woman in the tasting room wasn't as good at her job as the girl at Buena Vista, but it didn't kill the good time we were having, so no big deal. If you want to try something different and super fun, this is the wine tour for you!! read more

Hunt is the owner and Segway Tour guide extraordinaire! He mixes fun, history, wine tasting and cheese tour into one delightful day! He is incredible upbeat, infinitely patient, and amazingly personable all wrapped up in an extremely professional delivery. DO NOT MISS this chance. One of the highlights of our vacation in Wine Country. read more

RUN, do NOT walk to your computer and book this tour. Not only was Hunt extremely knowledgeable on wine BUT ALSO BEER and it's history in California. My husband and I were celebrating our 25 year anniversary and this tour was our favorite part. We learned so much more than we would have on our own. (its clear that all the staff at the wineries know him and trust him with the rich stories and journeys the families have taken, Hunt's a true local.) A friend from Oregon had told me that I must-do this tour... I was on the fence, but did it purely on her recommendation. I AM SO GLAD I DID IT! Seriously folks, if you want an outdoorsy journey on a fun segway smelling the eucalyptus trees, biting wild blackberries off the vines (and a wine grape or two) - look no further. Also, the lunch, surprisingly delicious! Downright gourmet! (sandwiches and even a vegetarian option with a giant slice of mozzarella) This tour was worth every penny. The cheese factory was a surprise as well - old school - had to take some home. At all times of the tour, I never felt rushed or that our guide wished he was somewhere else. Would totally do it again! PS - dude has photography skillz! pretty sure he took our next Christmas card photo. read more

Did not rent from these guys, but I had to drop some positive feedback for the nuggets of wisdom Hunt shared while he was cruising by us, as we were both leaving Buena Vista winery. Thanks, Hunt, for the direction to Sonoma's Best Deli and Bartholomew Park Winery to enjoy the treats we purchased at the deli. I was very impressed with the positive attitude and great information he shared with us. Unsolicited and very friendly. My fellow Yelpers may think what's Tap yapping about, but customer service has suffered so much lately, with society's "What are you doing for me?" attitude; it was refreshing to have a guy roll by and give us some GREAT local knowledge and be very friendly. We are a bike riding group, but next trip to Sonoma we will be renting Segway's because of Hunt's great personality and awesome information that made our Sonoma experience that much more memorable! Thanks Hunt!!! read more

First Yelp post ever... But I can't help but share... This was SO much fun! Great adventure with family or friends...or both! Hunt and his wife are awesome! Very personable and knowledgeable tour guides. Highly recommend this to all! read more

What a GREAT way to see Sonoma!!! Thanks, Hunt for accomodating us, last-minute. Emily was a fantastic tour guide We had so much fun!!! We did more of a "locals" tour, wanting to see the neighborhoods, the local farmers market, and just the "essential" winery (BV) Segways are soooo much fun! Book with Hunt; you won't regret it!!! read more

We had an AMAZING Segway tour with Hunt yesterday! He was so fun and amiable. Very knowledgable about wine making and the history of Sonoma. He took us to two beautiful wineries and a local cheese shop. He knew everyone everywhere and the wineries let him give us a tour of their private wine making spaces. We rode for miles along beautiful streets with unbelievable scenic views. He genuinely cares about meeting the interests of tourists and will customize the tour for you. We felt very relaxed and not rushed the entire time; it by far surpasses the experience you would have with a typical tourist money hungry business. Also the cheese tasting and tour at the end was awesome (YUM!!) We could not be happier with our experience. Thank you, Hunt! read more

Signed up for Segway tour just to experience Sonoma while having a cool ride....but this tour was MUCH more than that! Hunt, our tour guide, provided the most informational, educational and fun experience we have ever had on a tour! He brought us to 2 relatively unknown wineries that ended up being our two favorite....in fact, we joined both wine clubs! Hunt seemed to care more about making our experience incredible than about anything else. Anyone coming to Sonoma needs to experience Sonoma through this tour! It's unforgettable! Bravo Hunt! read more

Got a chance to see a lot of cool things up close and learned a lot about wine country AND the town, which was great. Really glad we did this! read more

What a fun experience! I was in Sonoma for a girls weekend with some family and I'm so glad we decided to do this tour. Hunt made the entire experience fun and memorable. We all swore that we would never look at a Segway as dorky again. He taught us all how to ride and I felt that he taught us very well. He was funny, personable, and knowledgeable. He was also flexible when the group decided that we would rather do more riding than wine tasting. Though I have to say, the first tasting was really cool. He took us to a few historical sites and to the Cheese Factory, all of which he had extensive knowledge on. The only thing that my sister would say is, "I wanted to go faster!" :) We had so much fun, I would recommend this to anyone. I want to do it again! read more

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! I've been to wine country many times. This time I surprised my boyfriend with the segway experience. I was the hesitant one, but after a few minutes meeting Hunt, it was ON! Hunt was an awesome guide, teacher and had a tremendous sense of humor! We had never ridden segways before, but no worries, after Hunt's lesson, we were Pro's and off we went.....Knowledgeable, Professional and so much fun! it was one of the most UNFORGETTABLE experiences! Wine was awesome, Hunt was very connected to the community and each winery/cheese factory we visited. Overall if i could give 10 stars I would! DO THIS..if you are visiting SONOMA,, CALL HUNT....You won't be disappointed! read more

Friends were visiting from out of town who know wine country really well so we suggested a completely different way of seeing and enjoying it. We were not disappointed. The day exceeded our expectations. First, riding around backstreets and country roads in and around Sonoma on a Segway is a blast. Second, there are really nice homes, vineyards and vistas to see and enjoy. Third, the owner, Hunt, is a consummate host and tour guide plus he got our novices up and running confidently on their Segways in very short order. He proceeded to take us on a thoughtfully designed and unhurried visit to two great local wineries and the Vella artisanal cheese factory which was a real highlight for our group. When we arrived at the second winery, a table was set for our group with a table cloth and we enjoyed a nice sandwich platter, cookies and, of course, grapes. Hunt is an entertaining and informative guide who grew up in Sonoma, knows everyone, has special access to parts of the wineries and the cheese factory that really add to the overall experience and was no stranger to the staff at each stop who greeted him warmly. After meeting near the main square in Sonoma at 10, we returned about 4 with great memories along with plenty of great wine and cheese acquired at good prices during the day. 5 out of 5 stars for Sonoma Segway. We plan on doing it again. read more
