San Francisco Electric Tour Company

Long known for Segway tours at San Franciscoís Fishermanís Wharf and neighboring Sausalito, San Francisco Electric Tour Company announces its latest Segway playground: Golden Gate Park. As the exclusive provider of Segway tours in Golden Gate Park, the company offers a fully narrated, eight-mile tour route that explores the eastern section of the 1100+ acre park on winding trails and bike routes. The quiet, eco-friendly vehicles are not only easy to operate but also bring riders closer to the beauty of the park. ìIt took two years to get this tour launched, but it was well worth the wait because weíre now the exclusive licensed Segway tour operator in Golden Gate Park,î explained Brian Huber, San Francisco Electric Tour Company founder. ìWeíve also put together an amazing and accurate historical tour that will impress visitors and locals alike.î The tour is also available for private groups, parties and for corporate team building events. The park, built on sand dunes back in the last half of the 1800s, is larger than New Yorkís Central Park and covered with more than 75,000 trees. Segways navigate the rectangular area, which is relatively flat compared to the hills for which San Francisco is known. Hours of operation: Apr-Oct: 9a, 12:30p, 4p | Nov - Mar: 10a & 1:30p. $70 per person.
