You step onto a Segway on a sun-warmed sidewalk and the city pulls into motion—brick facades and industrial warehouses suddenly feel like pages in a rolling gallery. The two-hour loop threads through Broad Street, the Fan, Scott’s Addition and tight alleyways where large-scale paintings loom over traffic and courtyards alike. The walls don’t just decorate Richmond; they argue, joke and call for attention.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.
You step onto a Segway on a sun-warmed sidewalk and the city pulls into motion—brick facades and industrial warehouses suddenly feel like pages in a rolling gallery.

The walls don’t just decorate Richmond; they argue, joke and call for attention.
Richmond’s mural boom gained momentum over the last eight years as artists from across the country and globe were invited to paint, converting factory walls and commercial storefronts into public canvases. Geology and urban form play a role here: the city’s fall line and the James River shaped industrial corridors that now serve as long, flat canvases for bold work. The murals reflect local culture—music, history, and the complicated civic story of a city balancing preservation and reinvention.
On tour you’ll get a brief Segway tutorial before rolling into neighborhoods, guided toward landmark pieces and lesser-seen alleys. Expect frequent stops for photos and for guides to discuss artist intent, technique and the commissioning process. The pace is easy but requires standing and light balance for two hours.
Practical notes: closed-toe shoes and a water bottle keep you comfortable; sunscreen and a light layer are helpful for variable spring or fall weather. Tours run best in morning or late afternoon light for photography and cooler temperatures. If you want a compact introduction to Richmond’s contemporary public art—without miles of walking—this is an efficient, social way to see the city’s creative edges.
No—tours begin with a safety briefing and practice; guides keep speeds moderate and routes pedestrian-friendly.
It’s low-impact: you’ll stand and steer for about two hours with frequent stops, so being able to stand comfortably is sufficient.
Age and weight restrictions vary by operator; check the booking page for minimum age and weight limits before you reserve.
