About

What happens when a couple combines their Segway tours in Hawaii and Texas with their retirement? The answer: Tour CDA.

Gary and Linda Cooper are the retirees who saw the potential to open a Segway tour company in Coeur d'Alene. With their years of travel and CDA's stunning scenery, history, and restaurants, it was the perfect opportunity.

Along with Segway tours, they offer adventures on four-wheel Rydables and rent e-bikes. But first, let's dig into the wonders of the Segway.

Even if you've never ridden the two-wheel Segway, the staff will quickly get you up to speed. Before every tour, your guide will give you instructions and let you practice maneuvering. In no time, you'll be ready to hit the streets.

The fleet includes the latest Segway models, equipped for smooth navigation on both paved and mixed surfaces. This fleet expansion reflects Tour CDA's commitment to accessible adventure, offering guests a fun alternative to walking or biking.

We'll explore the various tours in our next section, but there's another reason to use Tour CDA: the e-bike, Rydable, and Segway are eco-friendly. That means no emissions, low noise, and a light footprint on local trails.

Additionally, Tour CDA has seasoned guides who will expand on the area's history and natural sights. When it comes to your safety, you can rest assured that the staff has this as Job #1. Every piece of equipment is carefully inspected before departure, and riders receive a detailed briefing.

When seeking a family-friendly or fun group activity, make a reservation at Tour CDA.

Tour CDA: Fun Facts & Cool Features

Before we check out the tours, let's discuss e-bikes. These are perfect for groups and individuals who prefer sightseeing at their own pace.

Tour CDA features Sondors Smart Step ebikes that are easy to operate and a blast to ride. It has five pedal assist levels and a throttle to go faster. They also have four Sondors Fold X e-bikes available. All bikes come with handlebar-mounted digital displays showing speed, battery life, and total distance. And now, on to the tours!

Well-informed guides lead the tours, sharing stories about Coeur d'Alene's history and local highlights. You'll use helmets with built-in wireless audio headsets, ensuring clear communication even as you glide past landmarks.

The shop offers add-ons such as baskets for personal items or water bottles. If you're renting an e-bike, check out the child carriers and tag-a-long child bike for an additional cost.

The Explore Coeur d'Alene is a two-hour Segway tour along Lakeshore Drive, home to impressive mansions. Other highlights include traveling through McEuen Park and visiting the restored CDA Carousel.

The Taste of Coeur d'Alene Food Tour is an epicurean adventure to the area's top eateries. The 3.5-hour tour includes all your meals and tips, letting you enjoy this immersive downtown foodie trip.

Last but not least are the Rydable tours, which feature a battery-powered four-wheeled vehicle. While the Segway tours require riders to be at least 12, Rydable tours allow children under 12 to ride with a parent or an adult. Add that each Rydable sports an animal theme, some with sequins and lively colors, and you can understand why families enjoy them.

Rydable tours include a 1.5-hour Explore Coeur d'Alene and the 2-hour Twilight. The latter is popular during Christmas, when CDA comes alive with lights!

With reliable equipment, knowledgeable guides, and sustainable practices, Tour CDA stands out as a top adventure for families and groups. Book your tour today for a hassle-free way to connect with Coeur d'Alene's cuisine, history, and outdoor beauty.
