      A fun pace and a beautiful ride
      We Segwayed with Chance on Canadian Thanksgiving [just in case we have international readers Canadian Thanksgiving is first, in October, followed in second place by American Thanksgiving in November : ) ] and were very fortunate for us to have a private tour as no one else signed up. It was a glorious fall morning in Edmonton, something we are told is rare. What is a bonus about the Edmonton segway is that they do tours all season round, including snow [something we have not done yet] unless it is too cold. The small group size did not bother Chance at all as he took us through the very lovely river valley of Edmonton stopping at several historic spots providing extensive background on each stop and taking pictures of us at various locations. We enjoyed our ride with Chance very much and would recommend this as a lovely way to spend 90 minutes or so in the quiet part of Edmonton - which is right in the middle of the city! As a young senior I have taken several Segways and quite enjoy the pace and the ground that can be covered and this trip did not disappoint. The River Valley Adventure Company takes safety very seriously and shows a very detailed safety video [along with providing hands on safety training for those without Segway experience]. For those of you who have not Segwayed it is a fun experience that may have a limited life expectancy as these transportation units aren't being made before. The tour in Edmonton is certainly worthwhile taking but don't get put off by the safety video - the Segway is safe, we've done a dozen, as long as you can balance you can Segway.

      Perfect Day
      We did a ladies trip including this amazing Segway tour, it was the highlight of our weekend. It was pretty easy to catch onto and Chase was a fantastic instructor and tour guide. Seeing all the colored leaves in the beautiful river valley was amazing. Will definitely be doing it again.

      e-bikes!
      Yes they do Segway, but one travelling partner wanted to try out an e-bike. We booked ahead to ensure availability, and had a great ride in the river valley. Nearing end-of-season, bike maintenance wasn't stellar but honestly not worse than I've experienced before. Staff were exceptional -- attentive to our concerns and helpful with e-bike setup. Would definitely use them again.

      Excellent Adventure
      Our grandchildren aged 14 and 18 went on the 90 minute tour. We were amazed to hear how far they got to go from convention centre to the legislature and more. They both absolutely loved it and said it was one of the favourite things they did while visiting. Their guide was great and they had a very enjoyable time.

      Highly recommended!!
      We did the 1.5 hour tour of the River Valley with Yash (apologies if I misspelled) and thoroughly loved it! Yash was very helpful and efficient in teaching me and my 15 year old daughter how to ride the Segway, which became very easy for both of us quickly thanks to him, and he was very knowledgeable about sharing points of history around Edmonton that was fun to learn. The route was very very peaceful and gorgeous with lots of picturesque scenes through beautiful tree-laden paths. It was great to get out of the city and experience rolling hills and a fresh breeze while experiencing this fun adventure with my daughter. We loved it and would highly recommend Yash and this experience to all. Thank you very much Yash good luck at University!!

      Great Way to See the River Valley
      Amazing time biking through the river valley on the e-bikes (fat tires). The e-bikes had lots of power and a throttle so only had to peddle when you want to. Look forward to doing it again when in Edmonton!!

    This tour was booked for a new, fun way to tour in the short time we had and it exceeded our expectations. Although the staff weren’t responsible for the gorgeous weather, they did offer a friendly welcome, thorough safety briefing and encouragement as we got our balance (pun not intended) on the Segways.

    The route was lovely, offering views from both sides of the river, with an opportunity to stop for photos. Our guide made sure we were all safe, checked in visually and verbally on the route, and got us all back safe.

    Service even extended to helping me choose a post-tour local Radler to celebrate!
    Would definitely recommend and will return if possible 😃

    I didn't realize Segways would be so fun to ride around on!

    We met two people when we showed up: Tyra and Chris. Tyra was very patient with us; she answered the many, many questions asked of her with good cheer. Chris, the owner, quickly taught us to ride these things. He was very clear and he made it very natural to go from being a bit intimidated to being quite comfortable on these things in a short time.

    But, it was winter, so we didn't get to go as far as we would have liked. I was quite cold. Oh, also, Chris lent us warmer clothes so we wouldn't freeze. No Charge!

    Anyway, we had fun.

    This was amazing! My wife and I (in our late 50s) and our 18 year old thoroughly enjoyed this experience.

    Our guide, Veronica, patiently took us through basic instructions and within 15 minutes we were off on a tour round the pathways. Some of the hills were quite steep, but we all made it, with only one person having a bit of a spill!

    Definitely will do this again

    Way too expensive for the experience.
    It cost me a little under 200$ for myself and 2 children to go on the 1 hr tour. I think the actual riding time should be at least 1 hr for that price. After watching the safety video and everyone being showed how to ride the segway the riding time was really only half an hour. There were 10 people on the tour all of them paying at least 60 per hour plus tax and fees. Minimum 600 dollars per hr. To put this in perspective the class one truck and trailer semi vac I drive for a company I work for cost 750,000 dollars to build. It bills out to oilfield companies for 190 dollars per hr and burns on average 50 litres of diesel fuel per hour.
    Not sure what the operating cost of those segways is but clearly im in the wrong buisness. 😳
    Wouldn't really recommend this to anyone. The next day we rented E scooters from a shop in Edmonton for 50 dollars each per day 24HRS.

    This tour was slow and boring. The guides were lovely young people who did a great job, however the “tour” and the information provided along the tour was not impressive. I thought it would meander along the river, nope. We saw a “turtle garden” that the city doesn’t maintain, so you can’t even see it. The tour might have been good for seniors, but it was boring and short and so slow.

    A little disappointed. I experienced this tour a number of years ago and it was excellent. Not this time. This occasion was our granddaughters 15th birthday and there were only 4 of us on the tour. The first 20 minutes was spent with video and training, which could have been done as a group and not individually and saved time. The guide didn’t seem too interested in the whole experience, maybe the +30 weather tired her out. The trail was also a bit disappointing as I don’t consider the busy 98th avenue a river valley trail. We were back at the adventure centre 5 minutes before our time was up. We didn’t feel we had a 60 minute Segway Tour in the Beautiful Edmonton River Valley. Our two grandkids enjoyed the Segway ride but it could have been a whole lot better.

    minute tour - The tour itself and getting to know the Segway was well done. Yash is a friendly young man and spent the time making sure we were comfortable and understanding about riding the Segway. We had a blast.

    The arrival was pitiful.

    Tyra did everything in her power to ignore us. Left sitting on a bench without being greeted or asking us what we were there for, after twenty minutes, I actually suggested to my wife we just leave and abandon the money we paid. With that kind of treatment, it made me wonder about how safe the tour would be. I'm knocking two stars off because of her.

    We went as a family and it was a great experience. This was our first time on a Segway. Our guide, Yash (sorry not sure about spelling) was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We enjoyed his company. Riding around in our beautiful river valley was a bonus!

    It was really fun and amazing experience. I thought at first I would not be able to balance and do the 60 minutes adventure. My teen kids was worried about me and balancing but I was able to manage. We end up upgrading to 90 minutes and glad we did. We enjoyed the route of the additional 30 minutes. Our guide was really patient and supportive of me and my kids.
