Brian, our tour guide was so funny and had a great personality. He was patient with us until we all felt comfortable on the Segways. He was also very... More

I was surprised to be able to navigate wheelchair ramps, tight... More

Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable... More

My husband & I had our first segway experience with Magic Carpet Glide and it won't be our last. I was afraid that it was going to be difficult to ride but it was so easy. We took a two hour tour and I wish it had been at least 4 hours. We got to see sights that you can... More

We had a great time seeing the Tampa sights in a fun and unique way. Tom, our guide was excellent. He gave complete instructions and emphasized safety. We plan on doing it again when friends and family come to visit. I highly recommend this attraction.

My family and I recently took the 2 hour Tampa tour.(April 17, 2012) It was SOO much fun! I recommend it to anyone.
