Buzz through Charlotte’s hopping Uptown neighborhood on this Segway tour of North Carolina’s biggest city! NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY (but participants must weigh at least 100 lbs. and can't be expecting a baby). We thoroughly and carefully train each guest BEFORE the 1.5 tour begins. It's FUN and EASY! Follow your local guide as you glide throughout the city, viewing our unique architecture, art, parks, and historic spaces. Our city has a fascinating history, and you can see it all UP CLOSE on a Segway! Choose either a 1.5- hr or 2-hour ride (the longer tour has limited availability). This is a GREAT, POPULAR tour of Uptown Charlotte, however we are often unable to accommodate guests who arrive late. PROMPT ARRIVAL IS A MUST FOR THIS TOUR. THANK YOU!!!

Fun Segway tour of uptown Charlotte!
Our 90 minute Segway tour of uptown Charlotte was great! Isiah was a terrific guide, so knowledgeable and enjoyable. None of us had ridden a Segway before, we picked it up right away (I’m age 61) and felt safe on our ride.

Great for families with teenagers
We had a wonderful time on this Segway tour! It was such a great activity to do as a family, especially with a teenager. Our son is 17, and it can sometimes be difficult to find activities that everyone enjoys, but this one definitely hit the spot! Our tour guide, Isaiah, was absolutely wonderful—very informative, respectful, kind, and made the experience even more enjoyable. We would highly recommend this tour to families, especially those traveling with teenagers. It was a fun and memorable experience for all of us!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
90 Minute Historic Uptown Neighborhood Segway Tour of Charlotte: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Charlotte.
How much does 90 Minute Historic Uptown Neighborhood Segway Tour of Charlotte cost?
+
Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Charlotte usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 90 Minute Historic Uptown Neighborhood Segway Tour of Charlotte take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Charlotte is not rushed.
Is 90 Minute Historic Uptown Neighborhood Segway Tour of Charlotte worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 943 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Charlotte, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 90 Minute Historic Uptown Neighborhood Segway Tour of Charlotte?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 90 Minute Historic Uptown Neighborhood Segway Tour of Charlotte suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 90 Minute Historic Uptown Neighborhood Segway Tour of Charlotte?
+
Around 330 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Charlotte can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Charlotte and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 90 Minute Historic Uptown Neighborhood Segway Tour of Charlotte start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Charlotte within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Charlotte?
+
Charlotte offers NASCAR Hall of Fame and speedway experiences, uptown food and brewery tours, whitewater rafting at the US National Whitewater Center and Blue Ridge day trips. On Outty we rank every Charlotte experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Charlotte's Ultimate Southern Charm Historical City Cart Tour, Charlotte's Original Historical City Tour on Eco- Friendly Cart, UPTOWN FUNK: 1 Hour Guided City Walking Tour in Charlotte. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Charlotte?
+
April to June and September to October. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Charlotte?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 90 Minute Historic Uptown Neighborhood Segway Tour of Charlotte?
+
Included: Use of helmet; Segway training; and Guide. Not included: Gratuities; Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for 90 Minute Historic Uptown Neighborhood Segway Tour of Charlotte?
+
Victoria Yards is a colorful outdoor event space. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is 90 Minute Historic Uptown Neighborhood Segway Tour of Charlotte offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 90 Minute Historic Uptown Neighborhood Segway Tour of Charlotte?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is 90 Minute Historic Uptown Neighborhood Segway Tour of Charlotte wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+

+
