Segway of Ontario

Great experience for all, this was the birthday idea for our son, an afternoon touring the distillery district then some dinner and drinks at Mill Street. Our guide ‘Gavin’ was very informative and friendly. We took the hour long tour and still wanted more.

This tour is absolutely a must do! Erik and Joseph were our guides for the haunted Segway tour. They were both funny, personable, and entertaining! The instruction received by both made the segways easy to operate, it only took a few minutes to get comfortable with maneuvering them. The tour was very interesting, Erik narrated the tour telling us of the history as well as the haunted history of the various buildings within the distillery. Erik was very enthusiastic, and animated, as he told each story. He even had Joseph laughing! It was funny to watch Joseph react to Erik’s story telling. Their personalities played well off of each other which set the tone of the tour. Lots of laughs!!! This tour was awesome… great guides, very nice area, a definite must if you visit Toronto!
two adults and two teens… great family fun!

Awesome your with Eric and Jill. Well done — great experience for our family … Highly recommend the Segway tour.

Two adults, two teenagers and we had a great time. We did this for the Segways more than for the history and we would have enjoyed more time playing around on them — they are as fun as they look. Joseph, our guide, was very entertaining and we learned about the distillery district and some Canadian history. The half hour tour was the right amount of time for us. Also, we likely wouldn’t have visited this neighborhood and it seemed like a fun area to walk around if we had more time.

Great and friendly staff, which offers a fun way to tour the Distillery on two wheels. At the end of tour they finish off with free chocolates from Sonoma Chocolatiers and Beer!

Hello I always wanted to to a Sagway but never seen one till i was walking in the Distillery area and asked. I went home and found them on line and a deal (Living social).
Good:
–They show you and let you pratice in front of the story before they go on the tour.
–Have all the safety thngs you need.
— you also learn something about the Distillery area that you may not ever know before (you need to do the ride to find out)
–You can book your ride via email and they also confirm with you. no need to call or remeber when they are open to call.
–Other tours that you could do but the 30 Minute was good for an introduction for new to sag way!
–The tour guide that I had was good, Lots of information never sounded like it was boring to him and to me it felt like we were the first group of his shift. even encorageed us to ask questions and he could anwser them with no problem (Very good)
— Small group (when i went it was 3 me incuded)

Negative
–The cost I did the 30 minutes | Price: $ 39 plus tax or the 60 minutes | Price: $ 69 plus tax | so the cost is not that good but if you find a deal I say you should try it!
–only alowed to be in the Distillery area
–Parking @ 1.50 for 30 Miuntes I would suggest the TTC cheper and no worries
Over all it was a great thing and I would suggest people to come and do it!

Had an awesome tour. The guide was great and they let us start early to stay ahead of the rain. Interesting facts about the area and the city. Segways are amazing.
Highly recommended.

It was my boyfriend’s birthday yesterday and I didn’t want to go with the usual options. That’s boring. So what about an experience? What about a WINTER SEGUAY TOUR OF THE DISTILLERY DISTRICT?
It was a surprise, it was freezing and it was sososo much fun. They’re not open on Mondays but get in touch with them early and anything is possible. We walked in and our guide was waiting for us with a smile and seguays aplenty. We signed wavers, got fitted in our helmets (pink for me, just cause), and soon enough we were outside learning how to use these things. Boyfriend was a natural; I was more apt at going backward then forwards but after a little, guided roll around the area I could handle it.
Since we were the only people on this particular tour, it could be specialized. Did we want more riding around or more history? Anywho, we wanted it all and that’s what we got. We rolled around and got many hilarious looks but no one was hatin’. It kind of made me want to bust out some speakers and play «Ridin’ Dirty» by Chamillionaire.
Bring warms socks, gloves, scarf and hat! Luckily, since this was a custom-​made trip, we had the luxury of deciding when we wanted our Soma hot chocolate break– which comes included in the package. Safe to say, the Mayan hot chocolate was just what we needed to brave some more cold. But we didn’t even have to yet! We went just across the road to Mill Street Brewery and tried samples of various beers, all with some knowledgeable staff and having a great time.
We learnt so much! Our guide that whole time was fun, smart and outgoing. He made jokes along the way, made me feel comfortable during this vulnerable time and was happy to share some secrets of Toronto’s «dirty» past.
I highly, highly suggest it. Don’t be lame, surprise your loved one with a gift that keeps on giving for a whole hour.

In the spirit of Halloween and maybe with the spirit of it’s owner with us we experienced the SEGWAY Distillery Ghost Tour (35min/​$ 49.00). We chose 6 pm tour which would have been better atmosphere if it was a darker scene, so I suggest taking the 7 pm tour and bundle up as needed.
Put on your Boarder Helmet and begin training which literally takes 2 minutes and if you’re a natural Snowboarder then even less as it has similar motion. The Segways were speed-​limited for this private area of the Distillery District but was still good speedy FUN for first timers. For sure you can rundown a few Pedestrians, but I wouldn’t start jumping rails (read tip below).
The Ghost Tour is a good experience especially for first time visitors of the Distillery District whom at the same time want to learn some History of the buildings with a side of Haunted tales of sightings. I won’t disclose anymore, it’s for you to discover and for the Tour Guide to share.
TIP: Make sure you READ the Waiver before you sign your life away as this ain’t no Yoga Waiver. You might actually be signing away your bonus for a few years as any signifcant damages to your ride you might be responsible for.

My girlfriend and I have always wanted to take a segway tour so when we went to visit Toronto we decided to try out Segway of Ontario. The tours don’t seem very popular when it’s 35 degress Fahrenheit outside as we were the only two there. It actually turned out quite nice though as we had a personal tour of the distillery district. The tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable. He spent the first 10 minutes giving us a tutorial on how to use the segway. The next 50 minutes were spent touring and also tasting some of the local samples of beer and chocolate.
Both my girlfriend and I had a lot of fun even though it was cold. The only complaint I have is the price. It was around $ 60 canadian per person which can get a bit pricey if you have a large group. Overall still a very good experience.
