St. Augustine, Florida, often hailed as the nation’s oldest city, transforms into a sparkling wonderland each holiday season with the acclaimed Nights of Lights Festival. This dazzling display features millions of white lights illuminating historic streets, landmarks, and hidden courtyards, creating an enchanting atmosphere. The Segway Nights of Lights Tour offers a fresh and exciting way to experience this spectacle—and it’s perfect for travelers eager to combine sightseeing with a bit of fun on wheels.

Operating Monday through Saturday at 8:30 pm, the tour covers carefully selected routes designed to showcase the brightest displays as well as local favorites and secret gems scattered throughout the city’s historic core.
What makes this tour special is the blend of cultural insight and effortless mobility. St. Augustine's cobblestone streets and colonial architecture provide a vivid backdrop for the Nights of Lights, and the Segway lets you cover more ground without tiring your feet. The tour guides enrich the ride with stories about the city’s Spanish colonial roots, its role in American history, and the evolution of this unique light festival that began in the mid-1990s as a way to boost tourism.
