Review from Danielle F.
Toronto, ON
It was my boyfriend's birthday yesterday and I didn't want to go with the usual options. That's boring. So what about an experience? What about a WINTER SEGUAY TOUR OF THE DISTILLERY DISTRICT?
It was a surprise, it was freezing and it was sososo much fun. They're not open on Mondays but get in touch with them early and anything is possible. We walked in and our guide was waiting for us with a smile and seguays aplenty. We signed wavers, got fitted in our helmets (pink for me, just cause), and soon enough we were outside learning how to use these things. Boyfriend was a natural; I was more apt at going backward then forwards but after a little, guided roll around the area I could handle it.
Since we were the only people on this particular tour, it could be specialized. Did we want more riding around or more history? Anywho, we wanted it all and that's what we got. We rolled around and got many hilarious looks but no one was hatin'. It kind of made me want to bust out some speakers and play "Ridin' Dirty" by Chamillionaire.
Bring warms socks, gloves, scarf and hat! Luckily, since this was a custom-made trip, we had the luxury of deciding when we wanted our Soma hot chocolate break- which comes included in the package. Safe to say, the Mayan hot chocolate was just what we needed to brave some more cold. But we didn't even have to yet! We went just across the road to Mill Street Brewery and tried samples of various beers, all with some knowledgeable staff and having a great time.
We learnt so much! Our guide that whole time was fun, smart and outgoing. He made jokes along the way, made me feel comfortable during this vulnerable time and was happy to share some secrets of Toronto's "dirty" past.
I highly, highly suggest it. Don't be lame, surprise your loved one with a gift that keeps on giving for a whole hour.Listed in: 5 Star Toronto******, ROTD'ed

In the spirit of Halloween and maybe with the spirit of it's owner with us we experienced the SEGWAY Distillery Ghost Tour(35min/$49.00). We chose 6 pm tour which would have been better atmosphere if it was a darker scene, so I suggest taking the 7 pm tour and bundle up as needed.
Put on your Boarder Helmet and begin training which literally takes 2 minutes and if you're a natural Snowboarder then even less as it has similar motion. The Segways were speed-limited for this private area of the Distillery District but was still good speedy FUN for first timers. For sure you can rundown a few Pedestrians, but I wouldn't start jumping rails(read tip below).
The Ghost Tour is a good experience especially for first time visitors of the Distillery District whom at the same time want to learn some History of the buildings with a side of Haunted tales of sightings. I won't disclose anymore, it's for you to discover and for the Tour Guide to share.
TIP: Make sure you READ the Waiver before you sign your life away as this ain't no Yoga Waiver. You might actually be signing away your bonus for a few years as any signifcant damages to your ride you might be responsible for.Listed in: 4+ ****Stars****, Retirement Planning

My girlfriend and I have always wanted to take a segway tour so when we went to visit Toronto we decided to try out Segway of Ontario. The tours don't seem very popular when it's 35 degress Fahrenheit outside as we were the only two there. It actually turned out quite nice though as we had a personal tour of the distillery district. The tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable. He spent the first 10 minutes giving us a tutorial on how to use the segway. The next 50 minutes were spent touring and also tasting some of the local samples of beer and chocolate.
Both my girlfriend and I had a lot of fun even though it was cold. The only complaint I have is the price. It was around $60 canadian per person which can get a bit pricey if you have a large group. Overall still a very good experience.
Specialties
Segway of Ontario has been operating guided Segway tours and walking tours of Toronto's Historic Distillery District since 2005. We specialize in being awesome and making sure that everyone who stops by for a tour leaves with one of the top 5 experiences of their life.
History
Established in 2005
Segway of Ontario began as a Segway dealership and then morphed into one of the most unique tours in Toronto. We've watched the Distillery District grow up around us as we've rolled through the beautiful bricked streets. In 2008 we opened a second location at Horseshoe Resort, just outside of Barrie Ontario.
