This is a 2.5-hour nighttime Segway ride that pairs ghosts with the city's famous bats, so it suits people who want to cover downtown on wheels and see landmarks lit up rather than walk a slower story route. It is offered March through October, and along the way it visits haunted hotels and buildings plus the world's largest urban bat colony. Because it rides after dark, it leans toward travelers comfortable on a Segway and away from those wanting a leisurely on-foot pace.
The route is landmark-heavy, taking in the Texas State Capitol Building, Lady Bird Lake, the Austin Convention Center, the 6th Street entertainment district, and the Moonlight Towers, among others. If you want a two-in-one that mixes sightseeing, a bit of haunted history, and the nightly bat spectacle into a single ride, this format delivers all three without a long walk.
