      Absolutely fantastic.
      Absolutely fantastic. Pauline was a great host and expertly guided my husband and I around the beautiful Devonport. She went above and beyond and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

      Friendly and Fun!
      Pauline was so friendly and fun and made sure everyone was comfortable on their Segways before we began our tour. During the tour, we rode along the coastline of Devonport, then through neighborhoods and up to the peak of Mt. Victoria. Pauline shared the history and pointed out interesting things of the area around us as we went along. Once at the top of Mt. Victoria, we had ample time to enjoy the spectacular view, including the Auckland skyline, and to take photos. Thank you, Pauline!

      Loads of fun. Interesting information. Very easy to get to from a cruise ship at Princess Wharf
      The lesson before you go is excellent. Great way to see Devonport away from the touristy side. Very Highly recommended .

      Fabulous way to see Devonport!
      We had a few days in Auckland prior to joining a group tour so we booked this experience. You need to take the ferry to Devonport to join the trip. The office is located right in the ferry terminal as you arrive. The weather was very windy but the Segways were perfect for maneuvering the quaint suburb of Devonport, including the steep hills. Very fun and enjoyable way to cover a large area, and Pauline provided great background information along the way.

      Fantastic way to spend an afternoon
      5 of us had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon doing the taster session with Pauline. My niece, nephew and brother in law had never been on a segway before and this was the perfect way for them to get used to it and see some of the sights with a few facts about the area thrown in! We were 50/50 on whether to do it due to weather and so glad we did! Whether you’re a pro on a segway or not I thoroughly recommend taking a tour with Pauline

      Only way to tour
      There is no better way to get around than with a Segway; there is no better way to see Mt Victoria and Devonport than with Pauline and Magic Broomstick Segway Tours. The equipment is in excellent condition; the operator safety conscious but not overly restrictive. The knowledge that Pauline has is amazing and very informative. The time spent all too quickly and was totally enjoyed by us all. The scenery was breathtaking. Highly recommend the experience

      Great and fun way to spend time and learn too.
      Quick and easy ferry trip across from downtown Auckland to Devonport. My wife and I love Segway tours and this was another top notch one. Magnificent views across to Auckland. Blessed with perfect weather. Great way to also learn some Devonport history. Definitely recommend.

      A Taste of Segway
      A fantastic experience. Pauline was great as a guide and instructor. Well worth doing. A bit worried about being on a Segway? Don’t be. You’ll get instruction and it is much easier than you think. I’ll be back to sample another tour!

      Fabulous way to spend the morning
      We caught the ferry to Devonport to join the tour. Pauline was waiting and after patiently training us how to stop, go, turn and get off we were ready to start our adventure. The time went so fast and Pauline is better informative about the local history. I would definitely recommend, it was such fun

      New fun experience
      We really enjoyed our hour or so scoot around the waterfront & back streets of Devonport. Pauline was a great guide sharing history of the area as we went. As it was a lovely day, we found a couple of new spots for swimming. We thoroughly recommend this experience, alot of fun :)

    This was such a fun experience and lots of information on the history of the area as we went along. Good small group of people. Loved the time you get in the park to have a blast around on the Segway. Would highly recommend this as a fun experience and worth the trip to Devonport to do it. If I was going again would take the ferry from the City to add to the experience.

    Thank you for your review. Packed with historic sites we have a lot to talk about here in Devonport and the wide open spaces in our parks to put the Segway through its paces sure is the real Fun part of the tour. Yes the ferry is the way to get to us from the city with the minimum of fuss and maximum of sightseeing.

    It doesn't take long though before you are confident on the Segway and ready to take off and enjoy Devonport. Maybe I'm biased but I reckon Devonport has the best views of Auckland City and the Hauraki Gulf that you can get when you visit the City of Auckland. Thanks for coming and highly recommending the tour.

    Such a great experience! I had never been on a Segway before but before we left for the tour, we ran through how to drive them and did some manouvers. Pauline took me for the tour she was brilliant! Explained the history of the area to me. It was a fun way to see the area and learn about some history too. Got to see a lot of things and stopped to explore the hidden tunnels and there were many opportunities to take photos. Great experience and something I definitely recommend!! Thank you Pauline!

    The day was drizzly and overcast. The lovely Magic Broomstick team and I braved the weather and had a fantastic time! Our guide was friendly, informative and knowledgeable about the area. She was able to answer questions and tell delightful anecdotes.
    The riding instructions were clear and at a pace that suited.
    I highly recommend this for a wonderful way to discover more about a beautiful place.
    The views were breathtaking, riding was fun and the company was just brilliant.

    Thank you for your review. It's so very helpful to have your recommendation for others to feel that they too maybe interested in coming to Segway knowing that I take time over the training. It's important that you feel comfrtable riding before we embark on the tour. And of course, I love living here and sharing the stories of Devonport.

    During our visit in Auckland, we booked the North Head Tour. We found this tour to be the most interesting and enjoyable Segway Tour ever!!! We have done several Segway Tours all over the world!!!
    Very good website, easy booking process and very nice and friendly staff.
    You will find the office close to the Devenport Ferry Terminal Ngaire, our Devenport based guide, did a great job!!! She is such a nice person knowing all stories about the town and the people and gives you all interesting informations about Devenport, Auckland and New Zealand.
    We definitely would recommend Magic Broomstick Segway Tours. Thanks for the great tour!!!

    *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
