Segway Tour of Fort DeSoto Park
Cost: $65
The Segway Human Transporter is an electrically powered, two-wheeled marvel—a whole new “high tech” way to explore for the adventurous sightseer on the go! Glide into the past for a guided tour of historic Fort DeSoto Park, which houses the fort built in 1899. While never the site of any major battle, and the weapons of Fort DeSoto were never fired in anger at an enemy, the era it represents was significant in terms of the evolution of modern weaponry. Fort DeSoto Park, the pride of Pinellas County, is a chain of five interconnected islands and also the home of “America’s No. 1 Beach 2005”. Our tour includes a guide and basic training.
