We had an amazing time on our Segway tour with our tour guide Kelsey. We all had never been on a Segway and Kelsey was very patient in showing us individually how to ride it. We did not leave the parking lot where they do the training until we were all comfortable navigating our Segways. Kelsey then slowly led us to Downtown Austin where he showed us the beautiful sights and told us some of the city’s history. I highly recommend booking a Segway tour with Transport Yourself.

It was a dark and stormy night! So Rob threw in some ghost stories with the tour. I’m a haunted tour guide with Haunted ATX in Austin, Tx, so this was perfect for our group. Hearing about the history of some of the women of Galveston was so fascinating. I would recommend grabbing a cocktail at Daiquiri Time Out while in the area.

We enjoyed the tour. However, It was disappointing that the Tour Ended with a 7 minute stop at the graffiti area. There were so many historical and spectacular parts of Houston that would have better represented downtown Houston. Saving the best until last certainly did not occur with the conclusion of this Tour. Also , the speaker's voice was muffled during most of the tour too much bass in the audio. Other than these 2 things the Tour was good.

We had a great experience with AAA Limo on a Friday night round-trip to the Stars game for a party of 8. The part I liked the most was transparency around the price - there was a single price quoted and that's what we paid. No fuel or toll surcharges or other fees that tend for limo costs to creep up. Our driver was Jack and he was awesome and super friendly. The car was in excellent shape, played our music well and it was fun to arrive and depart at the hockey game in style.
