Segway Tours and Walking Tours take place every Saturday!
Walking Tours are filled with fun facts about Bethlehem and its 300+ years of history. These tours are fun for people of all ages and whether a long-time resident or first-time visitor, participants will find themselves immersed in the stories of the town that helped to build our nation.
Segway Tours begin with an informative safety training session at Segway of the Lehigh Valley, 318 East 3rd Street in South Bethlehem. After the training session, participants are taken on a trip through time from the Bethlehem Steel site of the 20th century and back through Bethlehem’s collection of orginal 18th century buildings that has been called “the finest collection of orginal 18th century architecture in the country.” There’s plenty of fun and learning on this 2-3 hour tour, and it all takes place on a 21st century transportation legend.
