Anyone ever take the Segway Tour in Vienna?

I'm curious about that tour (or 'tours', as there seem to be several companies offering). It looks a bit pricey, but....hey, a Segway seems fun by itself, and in combination with an interesting city, perhaps even better.

Anyone ever take one of these (in Vienna or elsewhere), and...what was it like?

I took a segway tour in Paris and it was a blast! Best thing we did the whole week. They are easy to use and so much fun. We had tourists taking pictures of us! I'm going to Vienna this summer and will probably take a segway city tour on the first day of our stay. It's a great and easy way to get the layout of a new city down before you start serious touring.

We go on Segway tours everywhere we go that they're available.

Great fun!

Ah, what generous encouragement! Okey-dokey, I'll be two-wheelin' round the Ringstrasse...

heh heh, reminds me of the lady I just met ( 40ish )who on her first day of vacation thought a segway tour would be a lot of fun. Apparently she wasn't trained very well on it or she is just a klutz or she freaked out. She ended up falling off the segway, broke her hip and ended up in traction for the remainder of her vaction. Got home and had hip surgery and might be able to walk normal again....maybe some day after therapy ends.

Didnt take the Segway tour but saw them whizzing about in Vienna and took pictures of them My better (male) half wanted to try it but I was a bit reluctant...however, it looked like great fun.
