Cowtown Segway ADVENTURES — Local services in Fort Worth

On Good Friday 2018, our family drove from Dallas to take a Cowtown Segway tour. Throughout our planning/scheduling and the tour itself, the owner, Tim Ballard, was responsive, courteous, gregarious, and accommodating. He also made Ft. Worth’s history interesting. Moreover, he showed remarkable flexibility by providing a tour combining elements of both his downtown and river walk tour, including being more than generous with his time in order to tailor a hybrid tour to meet the divergent tastes of his nine guests.

Visitors from Dallas might appreciate Cowtown Segway’s downtown location is within walking distance of Ft. Worth’s train station. The cost of tours is comparable to horseback riding for an equal length of time, but without the days of soreness afterwards. Furthermore, greenhorns need not fear the Segway. Cowtown Segway provides ample safety equipment, training, and water for any rookie before your tour’s departure. Our guide even photographed the group throughout the tour, and then shared those photos with each party within our group via AirDrop.

NOTE TO FAMILIES: Riders must be 8 years old and over 60lbs (Our son was 58.8 lbs in stocking feet. With shoes and a water bottle in his pocket, he was just over 60lbs, though the tour company did not weigh him.). I will say our guide was very conscientious about looking out for both or our kids (ages 10 & 8). Both were allowed to drive themselves, including down the middle of busy streets between Sundance Square and the Court House. However, the guide did keep a hand on my son’s handle bars when crossing busy...

Sooo! This tour was awesome to say the least! Before going, I highly recommend calling this place and scheduling a time to go rather than being a walk-in. I was able to get more specific instructions that way! If you have never been on a segway before, you do get an opportunity to practice on it for a bit...but I guarantee that it gets easier within a matter of minutes, as the device is easy to handle

My family (me, hubby, and kid -age 11) did the best of both worlds tour on a Sunday. The weather was perfect for it! We got a great history lesson of some of the places in downtown fort worth, with Timbo (our tour guide and owner of the tours) really making the narration quite fun and goofy (in the best way). We also were able to ride to the fort worth water gardens and neat other places in the periphery of downtown fort worth. The whole thing lasted about 2.5 hrs. Be prepared - your body will be more fatigued than you think. It's worth it though. We got some really beautiful pics from the tour!

My child ran over Timbo's sunglasses by accident - but he was a very awesome sport about the whole thing.

This guy's a cool dude and running a very cool business. Please support. It's (fort)...

Oh my. This was an amazing experience! We were visiting Arlington and looking for something for the family to do. I saw an ad for Cowtown Segway, so decided to give it a try. We hadn't done anything like this before, so I didn't know if it was something I could even physically do. Donny was our trainer and guide, and wow, were we impressed. He was extremely knowledgeable with how to help us ride and handle the segway, prioritized safety for all, and made sure we saw the sights. He was also well-versed in history, so very informative. I don't know if Donny made more stops than usual (I had asked early in the tour if I could get off at one of our stops because my feet were falling asleep), or if he simply knew I needed more stops to get off and be safe. Regardless, he was in-tune withe each one of us as individuals, and took very, very good care of us. I can't say enough how comfortable and safe he made us feel on the entire tour, which was absolutely beautiful on a sunny, slightly windy day in Fort Worth. Donny took so many great pics of the family, which were included in the price. Just a truly amazing experience. We...
