Meet your guide at the Fort Lauderdale Riverwalk and start with a Segway lesson and safety overview. Your guide shows you how to operate the Segway, an amazing machine that allows you to cover more distance than you would on a walking tour. It’s easy to learn and fun to ride. The Segway can even be a great touring option for people with limited mobility.
Once you’re comfortable with your Segway, follow your experienced local guide through the historic downtown district where the Riverwalk is located. Take in the warm ocean breeze and lush tropical greenery as you cruise along winding walkways that connect a park and a collection of restaurants, bars, shops, and a movie theater. Your guide points out multimillion dollar yachts and mansions that belong to celebrities and jet-setters.
The Riverwalk area is also home to important attractions such as the Broward Center for Performing Arts, the Florida Grand Opera, and the Museum of Discovery and Science. Your guide shows you the skyscrapers of Fort Lauderdale and shares fascinating stories about the city’s history and development. Pass by Old Fort Lauderdale, a group of historic buildings and a museum run by the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society.
Your guide takes photos of your group along the way and gives them to you at the end of your tour. After one hour of fun on your Segway, return to your starting point and say farewell to your guide.
