- Frizzy S0 contributionsAwesomeAbsolutely the best experience. Beautiful scenery, Pauline is a wonderful host, so knowledgeable about the area. Did the 2.5 hour tour at the start of feb. Great day and made our holiday. Thank you.Written 28 February 2024
- Squrrel130 contributionsAbsolutely fantastic.Absolutely fantastic. Pauline was a great host and expertly guided my husband and I around the beautiful Devonport. She went above and beyond and I cannot recommend her highly enough.Written 14 February 2024
- jenny l0 contributionsLoads of fun. Interesting information. Very easy to get to from a cruise ship at Princess WharfThe lesson before you go is excellent. Great way to see Devonport away from the touristy side. Very Highly recommended .Written 31 December 2023
- Amber G0 contributionsWorth the time and priceWe totally enjoyed our Segway tour in Auckland and have ridden around the world. Great location-relaxed environment and knowledgeable guideWritten 3 December 2023
- Riddlegiver0 contributionsFabulous way to see Devonport!We had a few days in Auckland prior to joining a group tour so we booked this experience. You need to take the ferry to Devonport to join the trip. The office is located right in the ferry terminal as you arrive. The weather was very windy but the Segways were perfect for maneuvering the quaint suburb of Devonport, including the steep hills. Very fun and enjoyable way to cover a large area, and Pauline provided great background information along the way.Written 16 July 2023
- Karina S0 contributionsAn honest reviewThe day was drizzly and overcast. The lovely Magic Broomstick team and I braved the weather and had a fantastic time! Our guide was friendly, informative and knowledgeable about the area. She was able to answer questions and tell delightful anecdotes. The riding instructions were clear and at a pace that suited. I highly recommend this for a wonderful way to discover more about a beautiful place. The views were breathtaking, riding was fun and the company was just brilliant.Written 19 June 2023
- Q4605YRangelac0 contributionsFantastic way to spend an afternoon5 of us had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon doing the taster session with Pauline. My niece, nephew and brother in law had never been on a segway before and this was the perfect way for them to get used to it and see some of the sights with a few facts about the area thrown in! We were 50/50 on whether to do it due to weather and so glad we did! Whether you’re a pro on a segway or not I thoroughly recommend taking a tour with PaulineWritten 12 April 2023
- 216stephend0 contributionsExcellent morning out in north shore AucklandPauline was an excellent trainer on the Segway as well as an outstanding local tour guide. Strongly recommend this tourWritten 11 April 2023
- lgecc0 contributionsPauline, a magic broomstick and North HeadA rave review for Pauline of Magic Broomstick segway tours in Devonport. We did the North Head tour and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of Pauline's commentary, insight and knowledge. We stopped frequently to discuss local history, sights and events - Pauline quickly adapted her tour to our interests - and never felt rushed or as though we were wasting time. We travelled along the waterfront, up to North Head, explored the fort on foot as well as by segway with a brilliant view of yachts racing in the harbour and Rangitoto Island. Downhill we went to Cheltenham Beach, the Devonport Museum, Mt Cambria Park and back to the ferry terminal. We are experienced riders but we knew we were safe under her direction. The advertised tours are spot on in terms of destinations, highlights and time. We were on tour for two and a half hours.Written 25 March 2023
- Guest_06_20120 contributionsGreat fun and a must do in DevonportThis was such a fun experience and lots of information on the history of the area as we went along. Good small group of people. Loved the time you get in the park to have a blast around on the Segway. Would highly recommend this as a fun experience and worth the trip to Devonport to do it. If I was going again would take the ferry from the City to add to the experience.Written 18 March 2023
- Fearless077349048800 contributionsA great way to see the sightsReally lovely way to see the many sights of Devonport. Pauline the tour operator in charge was lovely. And very patient !! Teaching us how to safely use the Segway , enabling us to get the most out of the tour. Would highly recommendWritten 9 January 2023
- Chao W0 contributionsSo much fun!We had a terrific time on the Segway tour to North Head. We had no prior experience but that was no problem as Pauline taught us the ropes in no time. She was a font of knowledge about the history of the area and made the tour feel very personal and authentic. Highly recommended!Written 6 December 2022
- Andrea K0 contributionsSpectacular SegwayDo it! It's awesome, Pauline is great, fun way to check out Devonport, beautiful views from Mount Victoria, would happily do it again, loved it 🕊Written 16 May 2022

Ive always wanted to try segways but thought it was pricey and you dont really go far. Well after getting pounded by so many hills in Auckland i cannot state just how refreshing it was to do this tour and pack so much in without walking.
The history component was great and our guide Jack filled us in on local information. We covered quite a lot of ground in our 1.5hrs and I was impressed just how well the segway handled the hills. Without doubt, the jewel in the crown was the stop at Mt Victoria summit. This is a spectacular view of the harbour and views back to the city.
I suggest taking the short 10min ferry ride to get here.

Love it ! - "Walking is for schmucks"
I'm so pleased you had a positive experience of the Segway and Jack was able to give you good local information. That's the beauty of taking a Segway Tour, it's so easy to cover a lot of ground in a short space of time. We are blessed here in Devonport, having, as you say, the "jewel in the crown", which is the view from the summit of Mt. Victoria.

We started with an excellent review of how to ride a segway by Pauline and Tour Guide Jack, who were both amazing! Jack gave great explanations of local area history and the sites along the route and was very attentive as we crossed different terrain. Riding the segway was very easy with their excellent insruction. The views along the way were beautiful. The highlight was riding to the top of Mt Victoria with the amazing views of the Auckland skyline and the large gun emplacement which was set up to ward off a Russian attack that never occurred. :-) I should note that one of our group felt ill (not from the tour) and Jack and Pauline handled the situation - and her return to the terminal - with utmost caring. We recommend this tour highly!!!!

we were in Auckland for a cruise and decided to take a tour. had so much fun we did a second tour after we got off the ship. Pauline and Martin were fantastic guides with a wealth of knowledge about the history of everywhere we went. everyone visiting Auckland should take the ferry to Davenport and take a tour with Magic broomstick it will is time well spent. first class organization!! the views from different places are outstanding!!

This little tour was the perfect introduction to Devonport. The tour guide (and owner) Pauline was very warm and friendly and very knowledgeable on the local area. She made sure I (first time on a segway) was feeling confident on the segway before heading off on the tour. Segways are a fantastic way to see the city and were easier to ride than I was expecting. The city was lovely and the views from the top of Mount Victoria are stunning. There is no way I could have made it to the top on foot, so this was the perfect way to get there. Highly recommend taking this tour!

Thanks Bianca,
It's my pleasure to share the joy of riding a Segway with you, I have the perfect location I reckon.
The combination of the fun of riding a Segway and gliding to the summit of Mt. Victoria is a winner. So thanks for coming and sharing that with me. Have a very Merry Christmas, best regards Pauline

Pauline clearly loves Devonport and showed us what a lovely place it is . It was also a great way to see Mount Victoria . The views were stunning . I can’t rate this tour highly enough and it was a real highlight of our holiday . Thank you Pauline !

Lots of fun seeing Devonport and going up Mt Victoria. Just to note they have a set route that they follow and there were only 2 of us on this tour which was for 1&1/2 hrs. We were back at the starting place 20mins early and so then we asked to have our full time on the Segway but ended up spending the last 20mins just going up and down the foreshore.

I have just read your review and thank you for your honest feedback
I was as disappointed to read that you didn't receive good value as you must have been when you were so short changed.
I have taken this opportunity to look more closely at my tour guide training and spoken to the young Tour Guide who took you out. He is new to the role of tour guiding and has appreciated the learning and the value of customer satisfaction.
Once he realised you were both good riders and had plenty of time to enjoy riding he could have deviated from the usual route and taken you on an extended ride to see more of the sights around Devonport. I'm sure he will be doing this going forward.
I'm pleased to hear that despite all, you did have some Segway Fun riding to the summit of Mt. Victoria.
If you are coming our way again or want to refer someone to tour with us I would like to offer you 1 person free on a tour of your choice

Not quite Macbeth as there were 4 of us but we couldn’t resist a giggle with some witches hats ..... magic broomstick tours!
Our Delightful host Pauline was both knowledgeable and fun as well as patient as we learned how to master our segways .. it’s was easy as she promised it would be.
Fantastic fun and a really great way to see sights we’ve been driving past for years.
Try it yourself you won’t be disappointed

Hubble Bubble no toil and definitely no trouble as the girls donned their Witches Hats and off we went for a lot of Segway Riding Fun. And as all good Witches, they 'glided effortlessley' to the summit of Mt. Victoria to enjoy the stunning views and jump from the Mushrooms. Lol

There is no better way to get around than with a Segway; there is no better way to see Mt Victoria and Devonport than with Pauline and Magic Broomstick Segway Tours.
The equipment is in excellent condition; the operator safety conscious but not overly restrictive. The knowledge that Pauline has is amazing and very informative. The time spent all too quickly and was totally enjoyed by us all.
The scenery was breathtaking.
Highly recommend the experience

Hi Gerard, Thanks for your review. It's so easy for me to become complacent living and working here in Devonport seeing the stunning views every day so it was great to hear how much you appreciated the breathtaking scenery we have here in Devonport. I love my Segways so I look after them as best I can and like to share the joys of riding them at every opportunity.
Best regards. Pauline

Pauline was so friendly and fun and made sure everyone was comfortable on their Segways before we began our tour. During the tour, we rode along the coastline of Devonport, then through neighborhoods and up to the peak of Mt. Victoria. Pauline shared the history and pointed out interesting things of the area around us as we went along. Once at the top of Mt. Victoria, we had ample time to enjoy the spectacular view, including the Auckland skyline, and to take photos. Thank you, Pauline!

Thank you for leaving your review. I'm not biased (well maybe a little) but the view from the summit of Mt. Victoria is the most spectacular view of Auckland City there is. To get there on a Segway is really the added bonus.

We caught the ferry to Devonport to join the tour. Pauline was waiting and after patiently training us how to stop, go, turn and get off we were ready to start our adventure. The time went so fast and Pauline is better informative about the local history. I would definitely recommend, it was such fun

Is it possible to make the lunchtime tour to the summit if our cruise ship arrives at 12:00. Your afternoon tour does not have room for the 3 of us.
