Specialty Tours

Certain tours take in not only the standard activities but also other types of fun like scavenger hunts. Many people take advantage of the Design-Your-Own-Tour option, while others want to use the “Red Key” button that takes the Segway to top speed.

Private Tours

For small groups who are looking for more control over their route, how much time they spend at each stop or which neighborhoods are visited, a private tour is a perfect option.
