Segway are fun to ride and super easy to learn! Do not be intimidated, it takes only a few minutes to learn, and then it's pure happiness! Get away from the crowd and enjoy a relaxing ride in a beautiful town on the shores of Lake Ontario. We will cover in total 7 km (4.3 miles) but it won't feel like it at all! We will stop several times along the way to learn more about the rich history of the town and to take pictures. This is the perfect activity for all ages, only 20 min away from Niagara Falls. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed and will feel proud of yourself!
