In the literal sense, transportation can be seen as simply a means to get from one point to the next. But it’s also a great way to explore some of the most exciting things Scottsdale has to offer. Here are 7 traditional and non-traditional transportation options for getting around Scottsdale - from limos and party bikes to golf cart taxis!
Arizona Party Bike
Looking for a fun way to get around with a handful of friends and family? Take a pub crawl on the Arizona Party Bike! This 15-passenger merrymaking machine cruises around Old Town on pedal power (yours), making stops at three popular local bars and pubs. The bike comes complete with a rockin’ sound system and LED party lights.
Take a Ride
JoyRidesAZ Scottsdale Tours provides open-air vehicle transportation in Old Town Scottsdale and beyond, as well as a variety of guided experiences ranging from wine-tasting and culinary tours to gelato tours and an introduction to Old Town’s best Instagram walls. And if you like a good mystery, Puzzle Rides combines the fun of a treasure hunt with the challenge of an escape room on their 75-minute escapades through Old Town.
Rent An E-Bike
As in, electric bike! Cliff Creek Outfitters, located in North Scottsdale, rents battery-powered bikes that let you do as much – or as little – pedaling as you’d like while you explore the local galleries, restaurants, shops and museums. Over at Greenbelt Bike Tours, you can join a guided e-bike sightseeing tour to see the most iconic landmarks, hidden gems, and local hotspots in Scottsdale.
Segway Tours
For the most excitement you can have standing up, try a Segway tour! It might take a few minutes to master the lean – the movement that makes these two-wheeled fun machines go – but anyone can do it under the guidance of Scottsdale Segway Tours. They’ll have you rolling through Old Town in no time! And if you'd like to take the Segway fun off-road, Adventures Out West offers guides tours that take you off the beaten path to experience the beauty of the Sonoran Desert.
Book A Day Trip
From urban tours in and around Scottsdale to statewide points of interest like Sedona, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Tombstone and beyond, our local ground tour operators have all the options you need for a thrilling day trip. It’s a fun and easy way to explore the best that Arizona has to offer.
Let the Experts Drive
Scottsdale's ground transportation providers offer luxury sedan and limousine transportation throughout the city. In addition to airport pick-up and point-to-point transportation, they're also the perfect choice for pub crawls, wine tours and nights on the town.
