WINSTON-SALEM SEGWAY FIELD GUIDE
Night Riders: A 2‑Hour Segway Descent into Winston‑Salem’s Strange and Sinister
A narrated, 2‑hour Segway PT experience through Winston‑Salem that pairs hands‑on training and safety with chilling local tales — this guide explains what to expect, what to wear, and the tour’s must‑see stops.
Night Riders: A 2‑Hour Segway Descent into Winston‑Salem’s Strange and Sinister.
On a narrated, two‑hour Segway tour through Winston‑Salem, riders trade the ordinary sightseeing script for a ledger of local misdeeds: murder, chaos, suspicion and the odd bit of folklore. The Mystery & Mayhem specialty tour blends up‑close storytelling with hands‑on Segway training, an indoor safety orientation and an obstacle course before you roll past sites with names like the “City of the Equal Dead” and the “doomed” hotel.
