| I had a wonderful time on my segway tour. Our guide was very knowledgable. I highly recommend this as an easy way to see a lot of the city - especially if you have a limited amount of time or a short attention you should try it. The only downside was that my knees started bugging me toward the end because you are essentially standing for several hours |

Loved it

| The only thing I would change is a scheduled stop at an ice cream or smoothie place allowing people to get off for a few minutes.
Your literature did state that there would not be food, but coming after work it's hard to eat first.
Loved the little tidbits that were added. |

| Living in the area, I've seen people riding segways often and have always said that I'd like to try it. I have mentioned it to my husband several times and he always seemed less than willing so I thought I'd never have the opportunity. Imagine my delight when my 85 year old father mentioned to me that he'd like to try it. That's all I needed!!! I made the reservations .
I've ridden a unicycle, bicycle, and motorcycle, so I thought - this will be no problem! Well, when told to get on and try it, my knees seemed to havea whole other idea. It was then I realized that I was a little more excited (scared) than I had expected. I wobbled around the store for a while thinking I can't believe I'm having trouble with this. I looked around at the others in my group and was perplexed to find no one else was struggling at all. And then we moved on to the park ACROSS THE STREET - All I could think was this is something I wanted to do???? This is fun??? Cross the street??? I'm gonna DIE!!! Well, I made it across the street with a lot of coaching from my guide "Karen" (Thanks for the patience, many pep talks and encouragement, Karen). I made several wobbly runs around the park with more encouragement from my father and a couple of members of the group. Finally, I realized I was having fun and relaxed a little and got MUCH better. By the time the tour was really under way, I truly had the hang of it. My father took to it right off and there is no doubt in my mind that before long, he will own one. (That will be great because then I can ride to my heart's content.).
I can honestly say that we had a ball. I grinned and talked about this ride for DAYS!!! I am planning on going back again with some co-workers and friends. The best advice I can give anyone reading this is: If you don't take to it immediately, be patient! You will get it and you will have a blast!!! |

| What we liked best about the tour was that we could listen to the tour guide for those items we were most interested, but could wander around within reason along the way. Everybody was doing their own thing, and it was not a problem. Not one person had any trouble getting used to the Segways. In fact, we intend to do this tour the next time friends or relatives come to town - we've done the various museums to death! |

| We loved it. Wish I could buy one of these. After two or three minutes, you completely master how to ride one. |

| We absolutely loved riding around. The machines took only a minute or two to get used to, otherwise they were very easy to control and reeeeeeally enjoyable! We didn't want to get off those things and could have kept going forever!! The tour guides were nice and laid back also. Highly recommend this!! |

| enjoyed the ride it was really cool. It was intresting and informative with Lots of fun riding the segway. However, we missed the oportunity to take extra pictures may be due to the high number of tourists being memorial day weekend.
Also it would become more informative and fun if we could visit the museums from inside.
