  Very Cool! What a great way to see the beautiful beaches, and the walking, riding or running paths of Santa Barbara. We loved it. Old or young, you can do it too! I would recommended this tour to locals and new visitors alike! Thanks!

  Our class started at 2pm and we were on the road about 2:30. We returned at 3:25pm. I was under in impression that we were to return at 4pm, having an hour and a half ride. I did not say anything about the shortened ride but I feel that we were cheated. We did Butterfly Beach which was very nice, I'm sure there is a way to add the time.

  This tour takes you along the beautiful beaches in Santa Barbara. It is not as challenging as other Santa Barbara Segway tours and is great for the first time Segway user. This is the second tour we have taken with Santa Barbara Segway and plan to tour with them in the future. Our tour guide, Trish, was very professional and very knowledgeable of the area. She provides about a half hour of training before beginning the tours which gives the Segway user confidence in the vehicle. This is really a great way to see the beautiful city of Santa Barbara and we highly recommend it.

  THe people were very friendly, and everything was made really easy. The ride was awesome, even though halfway back my segeway ran out of batteries, I got to ride the tour guide's amped up one and ride back by ourselves. It was a great experience, something different and unique and i would definitely recommend it to my friends...

  Great preparation with emphasis on feeling ready to go out. Lots of enthusiasm on the tour. She made sure we were confident. Beautiful beach and area where butterflies were. Tour included details about Stearn's Wharf, Chase Palm Park, the lagoon, SB in general. The tour was longer than we expected, and we were tired, but we would do it again--enthusiastically recommended!

  I was a little apprehensive about operating a Segway, thinking maybe I shouldn't do it; it could be dangerous but I really wanted to experience the tour. I have seen other people touring around Santa Barbara and they all seemed to be having a wonderful time. We got excellent instructions and a great orientation. Jerry made sure we were all comfortable on how to handle the Segway before we hit the road. I was very much at ease by the time we headed out on our tour. Our guides were friendly and took good safety precautions both for us and the folks we passed by on the bike path and the road. It was a great time and I would highly recommend it to all who want a new adventure!
Rating: 4 Good intro to the Segway

  The training was fun. Being a local I was less into the scenery and more into the Segway. We went an average of about 4 or 5 mph which seemed to slow. I would like to have had a chance to play around a little to get to know the Segway a little more. A tour is a good way to keep beginners out of trouble but, it was a little boring. We followed each other around like ducklings (single file). I was glad we picked the beach and not the tour around town. I felt very comfortable on the Segway after a short while. We'll probably buy one or two Segways now. If we rent again we'll just take them out on our own without the tour.

  Going on this Segway tour was one of the best activities I have ever done. They are a little stange at first but after a few minutes you forget those first thoughts of falling and can ride in total comfort. The beach was great. My 16 y/o daughter and her friend absolutely loved this tour. There was a little bit of "tour guiding" but the trip is really all about the ride. The length of the tour was almost too long.
