Dear Alla,
great to hear you are interested in taking a tour with us!
Unfortunately, we don't offer any regular tours from mid November until mid March 2014 - City Segway Tours is already in winter hibernation.
The reason is simple: the weather. There is not much fun in riding a Segway in the cold and for your own safety we don't go out on tour in snowy or icy conditions.
However, should the temperature be well above the point of freezing (at least 10° C, resp. 50° F) and the skies are clear, we were glad to offer you a private tour. Right now it doesn't look like this at all and looking at the the forecast it is not likely to change during your stay in Munich.
But should the conditions change call us and we can decide on short notice if it makes sense to go out on tour.
Our cell phone number: +49-1792161717 (Achim).
Please also be sure to read our "Terms and conditions" .
Each of our tours begins with a 30-minute orientation session in the plaza and park next to our office. We will practice on the Segways so that everyone feels comfortable and ready to go out and conquer Munich. The Segway is appropriate for virtually anyone aged 15 and older, provided they possess a motor vehicle license. Minors under the age of 18 must either be accompanied by an adult or have an adult complete our insurance paperwork in advance of the tour. Unfortunately, anyone under the age of 15 and pregnant women will not be permitted to participate. Again, you must be at least 15 years of age to participate. IDs will be checked for those looking underage.
For insurance policy stipulations, we are required to take a EUR 200,- damage deposit per party to cover damages to the Segway. This deposit will be taken by credit card (Visa, MC, or Amex) or cash at the time of the tour and refunded afterwards provided no damage to the Segway has been sustained.
Additionally, City Segway Tours has a strict policy against alcohol consumption and Segway operation. Alcohol is forbidden on all Segway tours and any client suspected of drinking before or during a Segway tour will immediately forfeit their tour and no refund will be given.
Please also wear flat, comfortable footwear. Flip-flop sandals and high-heeled shoes are not safe while riding Segways.
Lastly, participants must weigh between 100 lbs (45 kgs) and 255 lbs (117kgs) to use the machines.
Hapy New Year!
Achim Wigand
