Segway Tours kickstarted their India operations earlier this month here offering visitors to the national capital a tour along the Rajpath on segways.
The segway - a sort of a self balancing mini-bicycle powered by a battery. With dimensions no larger than the average adult body and the ability to emulate human balance, the Segway PT uses the same space as a pedestrian, and can go wherever a person can walk.
Segway Tours are already a rage at the foreign tourist destinations including Singapore, US and Europe.
The segway tour promises "an abundance of photo opportunities of historic buildings, monuments and memorials, including the Secretariat, Rashtrapati Bhavan, the Parliament House as well as the scenic beauty surrounding vaious Ministry buildings on Rajpath, Amar Jawan Jyoti and the India Gate."
"Each ride is carried under the supervision of a tour supervisor and two marshals. Along the ride through fascinating sections of the city the visitors can hear informative historic and current facts about the area from them will also take care of the rider's safety and security.
Each tourist is provided with a helmet (compulsory) and additional safety gears like elbow and knee pads to ensure an optimal tour experience," says Rony Abraham, Head, Segway India.
Three 45 minute tours are conducted every morning from 5 to 8 am in groups of six. MORE
