Detroit Segway Tours & Rides
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Wow. We had so much fun. I highly recommend it. It's safe and you get to see parts of the city that cars can't even get to. It was the most fun I've had in Detroit besides a good concert. I'm going back for another tour of another part of the city. Our guide was amazing also.

It makes Campus Martius and downtown Detroit that much better for being present in our city. Best way to get to it is to walk as the...
