Lost love. Power marriages. Duels. Even a ghost story. This fully narrated Segway tour in downtown Raleigh tells the touching and sometimes tragic stories of the romantic unions that impacted the history of the city, and even the state of North Carolina!

The tour spends most of its time in Oakwood Cemetery, where beautifully landscaped grounds offer park-like scenery, meandering roadways perfect for gliding, hundreds of unique monuments, and of course plenty of history! You'll glide on Segways as your knowledgeable guide takes you on a memorable journey filled with the great love stories of Raleigh's past.
