Founded, owned and operated by entrepreneur David Weller, SegAway Tours of Columbus combines the comfort and novelty of Segway i2 Personal Transporters and the rich history, beautiful parks and vibrant downtown attractions of the City of Columbus.  A two-hour tour with over 50 points of interest gives both residents and visiting guests an entertaining and enlightening perspective of the city, while also allowing them to experience a fun and comfortable ride on the Segway.

“Our goal is to give tourists, as well as new and long-time residents, a fresh and detailed view of Columbus,” says Weller.  “And what better way to do that than on a Segway?  They not only allow riders to get up close and personal with the history and appeal of Columbus, but also enable them to safely go a longer distance and see more sites and attractions.”

Led by experienced tour guides, each glide around the city includes a training session on the Segway before leaving the starting point.  Tours begin and end at The Greater Columbus Convention Center, where SegAway Tours of Columbus is headquartered; at points of interest along the route, tour guides provide historic facts, stories and anecdotes about each site and attraction.

Among the 50 points of interest are locations such as the Ohio State House, Central Ohio Fire Museum, the Ohio and Palace Theaters, LaVeque Tower, City Hall, COSI and the Santa Maria.  Riders will also glide through North Bank Park, Goodale Park, the Arena District and the Short North Arts District.  A brief break at the North Market gives participants a chance to relax and take in the atmosphere of the market.  The tour route includes additional historic markers and parks.

“If people are new to the city, or are here on vacation, the SegAway tour is really a great way to let them explore their surroundings while learning some of the history and stories that have made Columbus such a great place to be,” states Weller.  “And if someone has lived here for years, we’re hoping that these tours will help him or her see our hometown in a new light.”

Tours cost $55 per rider, and should be scheduled with a reservation.  Weller says interested riders can begin making reservations April 15^th, with the tours starting in May.   For additional requirements, questions or to make a reservation, contact David Weller at 614.222.3005 or email him at Tours@SegAwayToursofColumbus.com.
