“We found the headquarters for the Electric Tour Company without any problem. There we met our tour guide, Chelsea, the manager, Lawrence, and the assistant tour guide, Cody. Our fellow tourists were a father, son (whose name was Matt), and daughter from Philadelphia. The first order of business was getting suited up for our tour. We each wore helmets and vests. We then watched an instructional DVD that was about 15 minutes long. Then we were each fitted with an ear piece so that we could hear everything that Chelsea said. Chelsea noticed that I wear hearing aids, so she gave me a special one that fit over my ear instead of in my ear. Next, we actually learned how to mount and maneuver a Segway in the parking lot. A nice test course was painted on the pavement, and cones were placed for us to maneuver around. We then had to learn how to proper dismount a Segway. After that, it was time to hit the streets (not the sidewalks!) and begin our tour. The first part of our tour took us around North Beach. Our first rest break was at Washington Square, which was towered over by the Saints Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church. From the square, you can also see the Transamerica Pyramid and the Coit Tower. We also were free to wheel around Pier 43, which is very close to the famous Pier 39; we did not get off our Segways at this point. At the Municipal Pier, we had the option of getting off our Segways or just free-wheeling. I did a combination of both because it was just so scenic. I could see Alcatraz Island, San Francisco Maritime National Park and its vessels, most prominently the Balcutha, and Ghiradelli Square. While we were free-wheeling, Matt wiped out. Some pieces of his Segway flew off, and Matt ripped his pants. Fortunately, both he and his Segway were all right. After this stop, we returned back to the Electric Tour Company’s headquarters. Chelsea, Cody, and Lawrence were great, and I had a wonderful first experience on the Segway.”

“Fun way to explore the hills without walking. If you are driving there, the tour company's tie up with Anchorage parking at $10 for 8 hrs is a reasonable deal for covered parking in that area.”
